Natalie and Chris Martin had a very merry Christmas Party Saturday night! Thanks!

Apres Ski

French fries and a pop. Nothing better

Daisies on Ice

Friday night was our Daisy Troop outing to the Princesses on Ice. The girls (and Moms) all had a really fun time.

O' very small Christmas tree...

Welcome Winter

I love you.

Another sighting

On our way 'round the lake, Mary noticed Ice Cream was back.

Story time

Can there me anything more wonderful than pulling out the stack of Christmas books? The kids (and I) get so excited and in the spirit once the is time to sit and plow though all the glorious stories of the Holidays. This year, I added "The Christmas Magic" to our library - its a beautiful book.

'Tis the season

Christmas specials = Christmas PJs

Ho-Ho-Ho

A Minneapolis tradition is a trip to the 8th floor of Marshall Field's (now Macy's) to see the indoor Christmas windows. Mary's favorite part is still going down the twisty exit ramp in the parking garage. I think Mac's favorite this year was Santa.

Winter's here...

But Mommy, I am not cold! Plus, I have to enjoy it while I can!

Prom Queens

Check out Addie, Emerson and Mary wearing Annette's old prom dresses.
Who says girls from S.Dakota don't have style?

The Big Bake Sale

Mary's room at school needed a new scale because theirs broke. Someone suggested Miss Robin go buy one. Robin explained that she couldn't just go buy one without any money, so someone suggested a lemonade sale. What transpired was a week long project- advertising, decorating, a field trip to the grocery store, baking (!) and selling. It was awesome, and I think they raised enough to buy that new scale.
