Getting Ready for Christmas

Winter is here. The pond behind our house has frozen over and the kids are excited for Christmas. The kids were especially excited to visit Mom's work for the holiday breakfast. Santa and Mrs. Claus make a special trip to General Mills. The kids took special care to write Santa letters (and of course, they wouldn't show Mom and Dad), which he read and kept with him. This Christmas was special also because Grandma Harriet is now retired and was able to come early and help us decorate the tree and enjoy some of our day to day activities in MN. During her visit, Presley experienced her first real hockey game. And the locker room was decorated to celebrate the special event!
