catching up: the christmas 2012 post

i realized recently that i never did a recap of the christmas season, so i thought i'd share a few pictures of the festivities. better late than never, right? my older brother, jared and his wife, corinne, are away in doha, qatar, working as teachers, and over christmas vacation, they vacationed in sri lanka. my younger brother, luke and his wife, naomi flew in from philadelphia for christmas. the day they flew in, we went to lunch in wayzata and visited my dad's office.

the above four pictures i took at my dad's office building on the deck outside his office. obviously it was a little warmer that day. stella had a ball running back and forth and touching the snow. my dad was very proud of the christmasy arrangement he bought at bachmann's in lund's.

The picture to the left is from famous dave's after church. we were able to keep stella distracted for awhile with crayons and paper. :)
