JULY
After a fun week at the lake
we went East to the new Hannan's homestead
near Rockford, MN.
We went to the park,
went swimming,
and made homemade popsicles!
Were able to take a quick trip to Prior Lake
to meet baby Lauren.
Then it was back on the road,
with Nana,
to North Carolina.

to hike to Grotto Falls.
On the trail,
we saw a couple of bear cubs!
The girls had a great time
with their VBS super hero theme.
We have two gymnasts in the house.
Playdates with friends.

DECEMBER
We lucked out this year and got
10" of snow in ONE day
A couple of weeks before Christmas.
It made all the Christmas decorations
look that much prettier.
We had an angel and sheep in our church Christmas program.
After the Christmas program,
we celebrated Christmas as a family
by opening presents.
We went on two separate Polar Express adventures.
First, the movie at the iMax in Charlotte.
Then the REAL Polar Express in Bryson City.
On our road trip to Minnesota
the girls got to open a new gift
each time we entered a new state.
The girls loved it.
We had a wonderful time with family.
The girls played with all of their cousins
and was even visited by Santa,
who found us all the way in Minnesota.
