Ice Skating

 Heading out to the ice.

 Wall hugging

 The skating crew.

 We made it around the rink twice this way.

 He only went around twice because Olivia told him that was the rule.

 He was not happy about that rule.

 Hanging with Grandma and Markus on the warm side of the glass was much preferred.

Family Photo

Mini Photographer wanted to try out the tripod.

 This may be a more realistic picture than the other.

Cousin sleepover madness!

Christmas Morning

 First attempt to wake Noah at 9:15am

Second attempt was successful!

A Wooden Tran Set!

 Stocking from Santa

Everyone needs a toy fire extinguisher, right?

Christmas Eve

Santa came to visit.

The kids all got little goodie bags from Santa. Noah opened his and turned to Olivia with a pout because "I didn't want music stuff, I asked for a fuel truck!"

Each cousin got a chance to sit with Santa and put in last minute requests.
