Snow Days....

It is crazy that Addison has not had school ALL WEEK!  Monday was a holiday but the rest of the days have been called off for the maybe 2 inches of snow!  Unreal!  Today when I told Addison she cried and wanted to go!  She said she missed her friends and teachers!  Such a little social butterfly!  

Addi did get a chance to play with her pal Hannah this afternoon!  Quite certain it was the highlight of her day!!!

Fun Outside with Papa!

Addison and Landon have both been looking forward to the snow and playing in it!  They had so much fun!  

Cleaning off the deck!

 The two cutest snowmen!

 Now we are getting serious!  The snowpants went on! 

How does that work....the little brother has to pull the big sister? Addison can convince Landon to do anything for her!

 Making Papa work!

Skindelien Christmas!

On Saturday we had Christmas with the Skindelien side!  It was so much fun there was only one person missing!  Grandpa would have liked that we were all together and happy!  He certainly was missed though!  It was so happy to spend time with my family!  Truly the most important reason to be at HOME and the best gift that I could have ever gotten!!

Addison picked out a "party dress" as she called it specifically for this occasion.  She looks so old in this picture!

 Landon was so sweet to remind me before every present that I needed to read the card...and then he would immediately thank the person giving the present the minute he got it open!  He is such a sweet boy!

 Uncle Jeff helping Addi with her BIG gift....it was a horse! Amazingly it traveled just fine!  I am sure TSA was a little surprised since it was almost life size but Addison LOVES it! 

 A picture of Jimmy....it is like getting a picture of bigfoot!!

 Lucas was very excited about "My Money!"

 The Grandkids

 The Great Grandkids

 So sweet!  I love them so much!

Hunting time!

Bill went hunting but instead of a gun he decided to take the camera!  I think that is super fun!  He got some great pictures of Trent, my Dad and Maggie in action!

Snuggle time!

We had fun just hanging out all together!  We watched some movies and just had fun!

Lucas..."Lets snuggle up"  He is talking so much and is more than entertaining!  I love that little boy!!!

 Lucas made Trent and Uncle Bill get into his "house".  It started out with a blanket on top but that fell off....it didn't matter to him!  

 The things Daddy's do for their little boys!!!

One more Present!

We told Addison that we had a surprise for her today.  We asked her if she could have anything at all what would it be....her anwer....to see horses!  We lucked out because that is exactly what it was!  My Dad has a friend close to Willmar who has some horses....he said that we could stop out and visit!  Addison was SO excited!  It was so fun to watch!

Addi realizing what she was going to get to do!

 Meeting the horses

 Addison wasn't scared at all and just petted them all! Even the one that was a little unsure came up and let Addi pet her!  

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture!  

 What an extra special gift that Papa could give his little girl!  She is one lucky girl!!

Seeing Great Grandma!

We had a great trip to Sunburg to visit Great Grandma!  She was happy to have company even though it made her house a little crazy for a little bit!  She is doing so well!  She is one amazing woman!  I know that she is lonely every day but still manages to see all the good around her!  I Love my Grandma so much!!! 

Hunting!

Landon wearing Daddy's hat!

 Seriously Cute!  They got along so well!  Landon really loves his cousin!

 I guess Papa needed some help turning on the Christmas tree! Notice the lack of Christmas tree skirt.....Lucas decided that he should escape while getting changed and pee on the Christmas tree....it went on the tree skirt and luckily there were no presents under there anymore! 

CHRISTMAS 2013

Christmas Morning!  It was so much fun to have everyone together!  It was so exciting with all the kids!  Addi, Landon and Lucas surely provided much entertainment!  Addison got her itunes gift card and dolls, Landon got his candy spinners...I think everyone was happy!
