Noah's Birthday and Christmas 2009

The Helland's came in to celebrate Noah's 2nd birthday and the Holidays. The week started out with Noah's birthday celebration that ended with the adults going bowling with their cousins and a Grandma and grandchildren slumber party Sunday evening. The beginning of the week gave Jenni a chance to shovel (something she never did when she lived here) and Noah a chance to eat snow. Christmas Eve brought the Raab side with a visit from Santa himself. Christmas Day brought the Rangitsch side and Jenni and Brian chipped in to help make food (or have a food fight). The Preisler's had the flu but were able to join us for Christmas Day. The Preisler kids had a small scavanger hunt to find their gift and then everyone was treated to a snowmobile ride. Knitting lessons were given to Jenni and Danielle when things were quiet. We can't wait till next year for more memories to be made.

Christmas Tree Chopping

Another eventful outing with the Larson's, Preislers, Rivards, and Rangitsch's. We tried to warn Scottie that his tree wasn't tied to the top of the car well enough, but he just kept saying "The Grizwolds Christmas". Not sure what that meant. Anyway the weather was great and we found an awesome new tree farm. Can't wait till next year.

Thanksgiving celebration

We celebrated TJ's birthday and Thanksgiving on the same day. Shawn and the kids made "dirt cake" for TJ's birthday. That weekend Shana,Annie and Teri made cookies ALL DAY!!
