Camp Out!

After our day of Christmas, we went camping!!! Oh how I love Lake of the Woods. Matt, Cat, Lisa and I packed the truck with most of the gear. Two nights-so much stuff.

What a view!

"Hey Mom, where is dinner?"

The George family let us take this out on the lake. It was a blast. Most of the family could ride it at the same time! All the kids did a pretty good job, and loved it. Thank you Tobiassons for the boat rides.

All six of us with Ma and Pa.

Christmas in August?

Since all the Grandchildren were home this August, we had a Christmas party! Ivy wanted to be with her cousins and do all the celebrations at Nanna's house. These pics are out of order, but you still will be able to see how much fun this day was!

Uncle Matt and Uncle John rigged up a pinata full of wonderful Christmas treats. They each had a turn and let me tell you---- those Clason softball/baseball genes were definitely shown in all their swings! True future talent!
Sugar cookies are a must at Christmas. So delicious! We absolutely love Nanna's cookies-especially her frosting!
Pin the nose on the Rudolph. Mom took the poem from the preschool where each child has to listen for the color of their nose and go put it up on the Rudolph. Uncle Jordan read aloud the poem, and of course made it super fun!
They all decorated wooden helicopters for the tree. So cute!

Painting candy canes with Nanna.


Thanks for the presents Nanna and Grandpa!


All in all it was a fantastic day. We had Christmas music on in the background, spent time making and hanging decorations, and ate some fantastic food. Good job Ivy for the Christmas idea! We don't know when we will all be together again for that holiday, so it was so much fun to bring the traditions alive in the summer!
