Christmas

Presents stacked higher than our tree!


Bundled up beyond recognition - going sledding.


Sledding into the wind... notice Michael's winter gear.

Papa's first sledding in 25 years.

Christmas crafts with Grandma.

Winter sunsets in MN are amazing... and early, around 4:30

Walking the skyways downtown we ran into Aunt Kate, and she gave us a tour of Target's Corporate Headquarters, home to 12,000 employees.

Beautiful views from the 25th floor of the Target building.


Uncle Jason and Aunt Vanessa, walking around Minneapolis

Christmas Eve at Grandma Lois and Grandpa DeWayne's house

Overlooking the St. Croix valley

Night skiing is so much fun in MN... who cares about early sunsets!

Visiting the GG's

Heading up North

Petros knee deep in snow.  He did not like it.

Going for snowmobile rides.  Petros did not like it.



Going sledding, Petros did not like it.

Back inside the nice warm cabin.  Petros liked it.

Reading with Aunt Kate.

After two minutes at 27 below.




The cold is brutal, but beautiful and enjoyable still.



Walking on the lake is like hiking uphill.

Spending a forced fun picnic at Papago (forced because despite the cool breeze and the clouds and sprinkles, we were determined to be outside in Phoenix in November)
A walk in Dreamy Draw

Breakfast at the Good Egg is a Peterzen's-in-Phoenix tradition

Flowers, by Selah




Flowers about life to me
The flowers flutter with the butterflies
It's the life for me
I went to the field to find some flowers
