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!

First Christmas

While G&G Vogt were here we fit in a lot of things! Kaylynn went down to the Children's Holiday Party at work and saw Santa and painted an ornament.

We also had our first of many Christmas's this year.
K was pretty excited to get "Kit" an American Girl doll.Her and Kit are inseparable these days!
And some "horsing" around with Grandma:
Here are some random pictures of the Christmas tree and and kiddo, too:
Hope you are all ready for Christmas...!

Our Angel

Kaylynn was the star of the show (as far as I was concerned!) in the Nutcracker ballet last weekend. Of course there are no camera's allowed during the performance so here are just a few backstage photo's of our little angel. She did awesome in her dance and it was so nice to have Grandpa and Grandma Vogt, Aunie and Charlie and Cindy and Otis there to see our sweet little girl up on the big stage.

SkyVenture

Since I still like having Cory around and don't want him to sky dive, I gave him an indoor sky "flying" experience for his birthday. He went to use it the other weekend and seemed to enjoy it (even though it was not the real thing)! It was hard to take pictures when he was flying around a wind tunnel at 150 mph, but for what it's worth here is a shot a some!

And "flying":

Godchild

Here is Asa, our new Godchild. He is such a sweet little boy!
