New Years Eve 2010

We headed to the Winebergs for another New Years/Mandy's Birthday celebration.

mmm...pizza

Mason very much enjoyed the Kinect for Xbox. He challenged many of the "guys" to boxing

and actually held his own with some victories (sorry Brian:) )

Winding down with a movie.

We were home by 11:30 and Mason even stayed up for the official New Year. Thank you to the Winebergs and all our friends for an always fun New Year's/Birthday get together!

Macy's 2010

Despite a weather reschedule, we made it to the downtown Macy's for the annual holiday display with our favorite friends. Although this is the third (or so) year of the same display, it is still fun to get the kids (and adult friends) together for a holiday tradition.

Merry Christmas 2010

We again enjoyed many holiday celebrations this year. We started out the holiday with a weekend of celebrations before the actual holiday. The festivities began with the Holden Family in Red Wing.

Next came time with the Dols Family in St. Cloud.

As a tradition, we celebrate on Christmas Eve at Grandma Geralyn and Grandpa Mike's with Christmas Day at Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Frank's.

As always, Mason and Cooper made out well throughout all of their holiday celebrations.

Weekend Guest

After the Gingerbread House afternoon, Mason was selected to take Carmel, one of the class bears, home for the weekend. At the end of the weekend, Mason had to summarize what he and Carmel did over the weekend.

Gingerbread House Day

Today Mason and I participated in a Farmington Kindergarten tradition...Gingerbread House. All Kindergartners along with their parents or special guests flocked to the Meadowview Cafeteria on this Friday afternoon to make Gingerbread Houses together. Mason's favorite part was getting to eat some of our construction materials, especially the frosting. We had a great time together and have a great finished product on display from our afternoon.
