Ice fishing

Back in early February Pete and Nora joined our friends/neighbors the Gossfeld's and Slinde's to go ice fishing at the Winter Festival in Chanhassen. I was unable to attend as I was hosting Chrissy's baby shower. From the looks of it and the stories I heard they had a nice time. Unfortunately but not shockingly, no fish were caught.

Nora and her new fishing pole. Hula Girl really wanted to go with them.

Dad, I am ready!

Go Vikings!

Our cheering made the Vikes beat the Cowboys and to go onto the next game... Too bad the Olson's did have another gathering for us to cheer them on instead the Vikes got beat by the Saints.

Imagine 1.2.3

We took Nora to Sesame Street Imagine 1.2.3! She absolutely loved it. She was laughing, smiling and dancing much of the time.

Christmas in Omaha 2009

We piled in the family truckster and made the trip to Omaha for Christmas this year. We were lucky to get there being that the weather was terrible. We were smart enough to leave a day earlier than planned. We spent about a week there enjoying time with Pete's family and our friends. Unfortunately with the bad weather were not able to see Molly and her family. Hopefully we will soon. Nora had a delightful time with her Nona and the time of her life with her cousins. She of course enjoyed her time with her aunt and uncles and Papa Larry and Patty too.
