Santa??
We are still not sure about Santa in our family. Katelynn needed her cousin Drew to help her be brave (we are hoping this works in the wedding they are in next fall too!) This is the closest she got which is actually better than before.....baby steps!! We had a wonderful Christmas at Craig's parents Friday. Austin had his moments but the kids were all good. The adults had fun playing the new and IMPROVED Clue when the kids went to bed!!

More Christmas Fun!

Our Christmas with the Schwantz side started with sledding!! It was acutally nice enough to be outside and the kids LOVED it! Austin was so mad when we had to go inside (his mom was cold!!) We look forward to more sledding at Gpa Steve and Gma Connie's this winter!

Santa stopped at the Schwantz's!
After spending a wonderful Xmas Eve at Jen's Gma Lila's in Perham we came home Christmas Day to our house to find our stockings full!! The kids had fun opening gifts from Santa and finding things in the stockings. We went to Chuck and Dar's for the Gulsvig Christmas, and after that we came back home for our own presents!!

Christmas Program
The program had been rescheduled from last sunday to today. It was SOOOO cute! Katelynn is in the front left....kind of hard to see in the picture. They sang great songs. Austin even sat through some of it...thanks to Auntie Rae Rae's treats!!

More Christmas Fun!! The kids had fun opening presents and playing with them all day. There wasn't even any fighting over new toys!! When the kids went to bed we watched Mamma Mia!! We all love it. Bryant had to walk home at 11:30 in the blizzard as he was leaving for the Vikings game this am...so he didn't stay but the rest of us did! He ended up not going because of the roads so we all scrambled to get ready for Katelynn's Xmas program!!

Burgau family Christmas!
I have to dedicate one blog section just to my Mom!! She did such a fantastic job making our Christmas so wonderful. She had a beautiful table set and made a fantastic dinner! (and supper and breakfast!). Thanks MOM!!
We have started a tradition where we all stay over night...even though we live a few blocks away....so we can have some time together after the kids go to bed. Every corner in the house is taken by someone and it is quite hilarious! All the kids were so good all day and most of the night! Everyone even slept in!

Weekend of Fun!!

So much to catch up on!! We had a busy, but fun weekend!

First....My Little Girl turned 4!!!!

We celebrated at Chuck E Cheese on Friday! She is soooooo brave now that she's 4!! (just kidding she still freaked out when Chuck E actually walked by our table!) It was totally chaotic and expensive, but Katelynn seemed to enjoy herself. Tyden, my nephew loved all the games that had balls, and Austin was only happy if he could go where he wanted, which was usually in the middle of someone else's game! Skeeball was still a favorite!!

Birthday Party Postponed!!
Yikes...our first blizzard. You know it's bad when West Acres is closed right before Christmas! The town seems to have shut down for the day (and tomorrow)! They are already scrolling anouncements for things closed tomorrow. Not just schools but businesses. I am interested to see how much snow we actually got. We have one spot of grass in our yard and a drift up to Craig's waist right next to it! We spent the day watching movies and eating birthday party food!! I might gain 20 pounds if this contiunes!! The kids were pretty good. Katelynn got to open her birthday present because I felt bad there was no party today. For those that can make it....supper tomorrow at 5:00!!

SNOW!! The kids and I played in the snow this morning. The temps were actually bearable so we got out the snow suits and headed out! We had a blast. Katelynn made snow angels and Austin just tried to figure out what all this stuff was all about. I took the kids in the sled down the street and they laughed the whole way!

Katelynn finally got one of them to be a princess with her.......Katelynn and Noah played dress up the other night. Don't they look beautiful??
