Sledding

There wasn't that much snow on this particular hill, but they managed to make a go of it anyway.

Toys for Tots

CB Burnett - Apple Valley, MN
Each year my agent, Bruce, at CB Burnett invites us to an event to support Toys for Tots.  Santa was there and we got this cute pic.  Midori Made the jingle bell necklaces.  I've been wearing mine all day.

First Day of the Ski Season

The snow was still pretty icy, but it couldn't keep us from going to the hill.

Amazing Yellow Tree

The tree in our front yard is just glowing this gorgeous yellow color.  Each day I think it's peaked, and then the next day it is even more beautiful.

Shopping at the MOA

It should actually be titled "sippin Julius' on a bench at the MOA".  We did more walking then shopping as it turned out.  Still very fun to hang out with the fam.

Midori scored a goal this weekend.

This was actually her second game of the weekend.  She played a game on Saturday in Mankato.  This one was in Lakeville against Valley.
Put me in coach!
 



She wears 2 ponytails. One on her head and one on her shirt.

1st Day of 4th Grade

She was so excited to get there.  We left the house early enough to catch this one picture before she was off to her first day.

Giant Slide

And of course, no State Fair trip would be complete without riding the Giant Slide.
The girls look like they are on the same carpet, but they are just really close to each other.  Cousin Maria is right next to them, and she goes a little faster.
