Christmas at the Posts

On a visit to Arlington we celebrated an early Christmas at Lea Ann and Steven Post’s.    Also there was Annette Wiemann and Paul and Bev.    Kai and Nora had a sleepover with Nina and Sara which they had been eagerly anticipating for a week.  Enjoy the pictures.

Memorial Day 2009

I was in the grocery store in Webster the other day with Kai.   As we were checking out he announced to the woman ringing up our groceries “I don’t have just two Grandma-Grandpas, I have two Grandmas and two Grandpas.”   How lucky we were that both the Wiemanns and the Jacobs were able to visit over the Memorial Day weekend.  Aunt Lea Ann and Cousin Nina also came for several days and Uncle Paul and Bev were able to stop by as well.  The weather could not have been better!

Christmas in Arlington

Christmas Eve we headed down to Arlington, Minnesota to spend some time with Crystal’s family.  We did Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann’s where we had a great dinner with family.  Kai and Nora tracked Santa on the NORAD site and then put out cookies and made some of our now traditional reindeer oatmeal.  To make reindeer oatmeal you start with some oats but then anything can go in.  Kai and Nora get to choose the spices and do all of the mixing.  Christmas morning Kai was up early but Nora wouldn’t leave the bedroom unless she was holding my hand in case Santa was still there.   It turns out Santa brought all the gifts to Lea Ann and Steven Post’s house so we headed over there still in our pajamas and opened presents from Santa.
