Winter Wonderland

2011 Starts with a Bang!

To the back of Caroline's head, that is!  But a ride in the ambulance and five staples later, she's back to her daredevil self.  Scott had money on Annabel being the first in the ER for a head injury, but I was pretty sure it would be our mischievous imp.

(I wanted to get a picture of her on the gurney as she was being wheeled in, but I didn't think the EMTs or ER staff would think much of me memorializing my child's traumatic moment, so I waited until she was happy.)

The first officer on the bloody scene remembered being here last Christmas Day for my thumb mutilation by mandolin.   He told us that we should be sure to be careful next Thanksgiving, as he's scheduled to be off.

Sleds and Snowballs

Pa rum pum pum pum

Merry Christmas to everyone!  We enjoyed Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Stute, and Grandpa W.  As you can tell, it was a musical Christmas!

It wasn't a white Christmas, but the next day brought more than enough snow to last us for awhile. We're lucky that Grandma and Grandpa made it out before Blizzard 2010 was in full force.  We can't wait to see them again soon in the warmer weather.

All Decked Out
