Christmas continues

The Christmas season continued with Kaylynn in the Sunday School Christmas program. She was an angel and sang beautifully!
Our second Christmas was at home on Christmas Eve, just the three of us. It was quiet and relaxing. We all put on our Sunday best and managed to get a nice family picture!
Kaylynn got the boxed set of Laura Ingles Wilder books. Cory and I are excited to read those with her!And, of course, Sioux gear!The day after Christmas we went up to MT to visit family. It was fun to see everyone and great to see white stuff on the ground (everyone up there was sick of it - we were ecstatic!).

We had a great time at the farm. Kaylynn helped with chores almost every morning and night - even when it was below zero temps. At one point, while we were moving cows and trudging through the snow Kaylynn said "Being a farmer is hard work!".

K and James all bundled up and ready to "help" with chores.K loved Uncle Pete's new puppy, Mavis, too!We had a fun time opening presents. The kids especially had a great time as there were gobs to open!
The bow was probably Charlie's favorite present!We somehow also managed to get a family picture of the Wolff pack and everyone looked great!
Leading up to that photo was chaos...
But K was ready!We were under a blizzard warning one day and got some nice fresh snow and plenty of drifts for the kids and dogs to play in!
Of course it was also fun just to stay inside where it was warm and work on some crafts and watch football.
It was a great Christmas season. Now we look forward to 2011. Happy New Year!
