"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Christmas with Nama and Grandpa

We celebrated Christmas with Nama and Grandpa on December 26th. The kids were very excited to have there Christmas extended another day.









Nama and Grandpa have tradition of giving everyone a Christmas Ornament each year. This year Laken got a ballerina, Clara a my 1st Christmas and the boys hockey ornaments.








Braeden was excited to get a Hotwheels RC stealth car.








Laken and Clara were surprised with a new play kitchen in this big package! (And of course she wouldn't be without wearing her Cinderella dress Gammy made)








Braeden and Preston got a new Lego Creationary game.








Braeden and Preston both got these awesome Paper Jamz guitars.








Ckara enjoyed some fun new tights in her stocking.









One of my favorite parts of Christmas is watching what the kids decide they want to buy or make for their godparents. Braeden made this cute photo display of some of the highlights of his year--Viola solo, hockey, badger contest, school picture and reading at Chrissy's wedding.












I had to help Clara this year. We made Uncle Eric some class etched beer mugs that say, "Beer Bully" with a bull picture on each one.












Laken wanted to buy Bean a purple dress and lo and behold we found one!








We gave the Kleven girls Tickets to Blues Clues live and I even made them each a handy, dandy notebook.








Braeden was excited to give Grandpa and Nama these Owatonna Hockey Grandparents Sweatshirts.
