Christmas this year was 'almost' back to what we consider normal, after Tyler's first Christmas with a snowstorm and second Christmas in Des Moines when Andrew hurt his back. We spent Christmas Eve at the Newman house, and all was good except one thing - Tyler had a high temp and wasn't his normal self. He was still a trooper and played and opened gifts as best he could.
Christmas Day we headed to the Hallquist house to open stockings, then on to Grandma Pete's. We seemed to perk up a bit by then, as you can see in our cousins photo's! Thanks for our new hats, Aunt Val!!

This year, we started what is hopefully a new family tradition - ice skating and sledding at Papa's Pond! It was perfectly frozen, so everyone threw on warm clothes and had a great time! Tyler figured out that his favorite part was throwing golf balls onto the lake and making everyone chase them! Carrie, Josh, and Zach played some hockey, and Allison was smart and stayed on 'shore.' Unfortunately, Andrew had to go back to work in Des Moines and missed it - so we have promised to do it again next year for him!!
