Family Weekend at the Cabin

It was a beautiful day in Northern Wisconsin as the Jacobs, Posts and Wiemann’s got together on Bass Lake for some boating, a good meal and a campfire.

Post-Wiemann-Jacobs Visit

Here are a few more pictures from the Post-Wiemann-Jacobs visit last weekend.   We had a full house with Lea Ann, Nina, Sara, Paul, Bev as well as Grandma Annette and Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Art.   The cold weather didn’t keep the kids from having a squirt gun fight outside.

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.

 

A Summer Visit to Arlington

The week before we came back we packed up the car and headed down to Arlington Minnesota to visit family.   The first day we went out to the Posts’ farm to have dinner with Aunt Lea Ann, Uncle Steven and Cousin Nina.  Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann also were there and Uncle Paul and Bev stopped by as well.

Visiting the farm is a favorite for Kai and Nora since they have chickens (Lea Ann stacked the coop so that there were sure to be plenty of eggs to find) as well as goats, cats, and lots of room to run around.

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.
