-9 degrees, feels like -22

While we are tucked away in our warm house we do not yet miss the hot summers of AZ. I'm sure it will happen one day, maybe even tomorrow at this rate.... but as of tonight at 8:34 we are still happy to be here!

Christmas Day

We had Christmas in Bozeman this year. My mom Michelle, sister Jen, her husband Monte and their daughter Michelle were all able to come down for the weekend. We had a great time and as always it is wonderful to spend time with family. We went a little crazy with gifts for bear but it is the only time she gets presents and toys other then birthday so why not.. right?

She was really into the idea of Santa bringing her gifts. Or anyone for that matter. Everytime i left the house it was "shopping for bear? presents for bear". It was fun for us to see her so excited and kind of getting the whole thing. Here is some of the fun we had!

Bear trying to show off her new slippers but fell over backwards off my lap. oops!

Daddy and Bear check out the stockings.
Santa left bear a little bag of chocolate chips, her new favorite treat. She carried them around all morning and they ended up in about half the pics. She could have cared less about the gifts all she wanted to know was where were her chocolate chips!

Christmas Sledding

The day after Christmas we all went sledding. We found a hill in town that was just right, not to big and not to small. We all had a great time including bear! Check Grandmas Place for videos... when she gets around to it!
