We're having a fun and busy Christmas break! My parents just sold their house in Rochester and are moving to Apple Valley within the next month.....so we spent a nostalgic last Christmas in my childhood home. So many memories over the past 24 years. The kids had a sleepover in Grandma & Grandpa's basement, and they slid down the hill by the side of the house. Tons of snow this year! Christmas Eve service at Rochester Covenant Church, then home for the traditional Swedish meal and presents. The boys were thrilled to get light sabers! (see video below)

Ellen & Scott drove up from IL on Sunday, so we're having fun with them now.....more cousin time! Sledding, ice skating, Scrabble, yummy food, video games.....the boys are not missing school at all. :-)
