It's a SNUGGIE Christmas!

The whole family got snuggies for Christmas thanks Marty and Mark! We had a great morning with lots a gifts and some wonderful conversations with family. Merry Christmas!

Kenai

Jeff wanted some pictures of Kenai so here are two recent ones of her. The one of her under the orange vest is after we cut down our Christmas Tree and she was a cold little girl. The other is her in the bathtub. She loves to drink from the tub and take baths.

He is real...

Earlier this week Kari and I were enjoying lunch offered by her Work Christmas Party at the Alaska Club. When all of a sudden arose such a clatter, I walked over to see what was the matter. To my surprise and delight I beheld Santa coming into my sight. It wasn't long before I convinced Kari to go with my to sit on his lap and tell him what I'd like for Christmas...and what is it that I want? We'll for all my family and friends to be happy and to know that we miss them...also for our little alligator (I mean puppy) to stop biting!

We haven't really set up our house much for Christmas due to the puppy. Just this last weekend we finally went and cut down our tree, and that was an experience! It was about 10 below and Kari was sick. We walked for a little while through the deep snow using our snowshoes while Kenia played, but once we stopped Kenia realized just how cold it was and started shivering...so basically we made a quick decision on a tree huffed it back to the 4runner and put her under some blankets where she stayed for the entire 2-hour drive back home. Fun times. Anyhow we still haven't decorated the tree and it's up in our spare bedroom because puppy loves to bite it. what a Christmas. Ho Ho Ho

So we went down a hill

This past Saturday it warmed up into the 20's so we took the dog out for a little adventure. We'd taken Kenai sledding down a really small hill at the elementary school in our neighborhood and she loved it, so we decided to take her to a little bigger hill where we could really pick up some speed. We got to the hill and I jumped in the sled, Kari sat in front and then Kenai jumped on her lap and away we went. She has a lot of adventure in her so I think she'll fit right in with us!
