Like mother, like daughter, like......

Like mother, like daughter, like uncle, like grandma! 

There's a definite Bruce theme amongst the group. 

Josie already loves his music, and now she's been interested in watching him on TV. 

Up next- concert DVD's over Christmas break! 

Reading through the River boxed set

Elf of the year!

Santa must have received Josie's letter about Christopher. 

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

The annual bell ringing tradition continues! 

This is the third year that these kids have rang and sang and entertained! 

Christmas lights!

We saw this beauty at a local country club. Makes me want one in my back yard! 

Christopher the elf brought Josie some special glasses which turn Christmas lights into Snowmen! 

It was fun to take a walk (yes, a walk, in Minnesota, in December) and enjoy all of the lights!

In the picture they look a little more like ghosts, but you get the idea. 

Throwback Thursday

Bringing you all the way back to November 26, 2015. 

Chef Tim and Chef Josie prepared a yummy turkey. 

All the other little chefs brought other goodies to share. 

We missed Brent but he got a special delivery at work. 

It was a great day with family! 

You missed a spot! 

Massaging the turkey

Holiday Spirit

Our friendly elf, Christopher, has been back in the house since the day after Thanksgiving. While Josie has truly enjoyed his daily hi-jinks it was the rest of us that have been truly touched this year.

The other day Josie handed me this letter and asked if I could get it in the mail for her. She prepared the envelop and its enclosed letter all by herself.

Before I slipped it in the mail I took a peek inside to see what she had written. I was expecting a lengthy list of toys she wanted for Christmas but what I saw put a smile in my heart.

We are anxiously awaiting a response from Santa. Hopefully he's as proud of Josie as we are.
