Getting our Christmas tree....It was so cold.




Making Swedish toats with grandma.

Finally touching the ugly beard.

Tepee's and trucks what more can a boy ask for.


Playing with grandpa and the train. My dad has some of his toys....the really good ones and Isaac LOVED them.

The boys
Britta and I took my mom out to dinner and to the Nutcracker in Denver. We had a wonderful night.

The beautiful table.

Great grandpa, Issac, and grandpa carving the turkey.

Britta made us make Pilgrim and Indian hats out of construction paper. It made for many laughs and great pictures.

The family picture....great except for Isaac not looking at the camera.
Such a cute boy!

Father and Son

In the state park we went for a hike around Bear Lake. We tried for a Christmas picture but did not like the light in any of them. The day was beautiful but there was some ice on the trail.....I really was praying that my 86 year old grandpa did not fall. A great time was had by all.

Estes Park Colorado 250 Elk we saw in Rocky Mountian National Park....Isaac thought they were horses.
On our way out of the park we ran out of gas. It made for quite the adventure. Brian hitch hiking, a nice women paying for the gas because Brian forgot his wallet in the car, and Isaac skipping his normal nap time. All ended up working out fine and makes for a great story.
