Christmas 2010

Well, somehow we managed to make it to Minnesota unscathed and unstuck in some snow drift.  It was so nice to be with family for this special time of year and the snow in Minnesota just made everything so Christmasy and festive. 

After many months of wondering if I would ever draw again, I was finally able to present Katri and Aaron with a drawing of Ava for a Christmas gift.  It was as much a gift for me as well as I really did not think I would be able to use my left hand for anything constructive so this drawing is particularly special to me.


 Oskar and Hank had a great time and after some initial suspicions of each other, they got along so well and competed for leaving their mark!


 Momma to be (again) and Ava


 A fun time had by all, with Auntie Henni, Ava and the hounds.


 Oskar getting his gift of gourmet dog treats from Hank.


Eliah and Grandpa playing racetrack


 What could be better than a Grandpa in a tiara and a granddaughter with a magic wand...maybe a glass slipper???


 BJ's wonderful candle holders were in place for Christmas Day dinner.


We returned home just before a major storm in the mountains...can we emphasize how blessed we were to have safe travel and no major storms for our return trip...God is good indeed.

  2. The drawing of Ava is just wonderful! I have had the precious photo framed at my house for sometime. I didn't know it could get any better than that...but you did it. Love it.
