As always, it was a busy December.  And this was all before Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  The kids love the Christmas season.  They loved picking out our first real tree and decorating the house with all our decorations.  Besides getting presents for Christmas, I think their all time favorite thing was our nightly walks in our neighborhood and seeing everyone's lights and decorations.  It took a good month after the holiday season for Nikolaus to realize he had to wait a long time to see "ho ho" (Santa) again.  Based on this post date... less than 5 months to go.        

Snow Days

 Bundled up and ready to play

 

 

"Don't let me go, dad."

This was more Nik's speed. 

Second day was a big success... for both kids!

Good form, Nik! 

Can't wait to go back and see if both kids still like it!
