Merry Christmas, 2012

 Alyza helped Dad make dinner, Princess Pancakes

 Our elf Dorwinkle--Thanks Fillmores, he sure kept us on our toes!
 Alyza divorced nap time for awhile, and thus she fell asleep in random places at 4+p.m.


 Garrett did graham cracker houses at school and I got to go and help the kids. Miss Thomsen let me take home supplies for Shay and Alyza to do one too.  As you can tell, they had a great time.  Graham cracker houses for a diabetic kid is not the free for all it is with other kids, but Garrett is a good sport.  He ate one piece of candy off his house each day.

 Garrett's first ski lesson at Pomerelle.  I totally underestimated this kid.  He is so adventurous and did great!
 We did a little snowshoeing immediately after the ski lesson, near Pomerelle.
 Alyza was told to quit constructing towers with the presents so she made it a train instead.
 Santa came to our house and reminded the kids to go to bed early and he found out what they wanted.
 Christmas Eve--we all had a flu bug, and it was a different sort of holiday, but still fun and memorable.




 Traditional Christmas breakfast at our house = tunpankakor's, or swedish pancakes.

Lots of coughing, ibuprofen, and tylenol, and sleeping on Christmas
