Blue and Gold

Carsten was so excited to decorate the cake for the contest. He did a wonderful job and won 1st place.I was in charge of decorations and think it turned out pretty well. Lighting really stinks in the gym for pictures.

Carissa's 10th Birthday

Hard to believe we've got a kid in the double digits! Carissa was so excited to be "older!"

New Years Eve

We were pretty sneaky this year! We reset all the clocks ahead about 4 hours, so we had our New Years celebration around 8 PM for the kids. The older one weren't fooled. We watched a New Years count down from another country on the computer outside, danced in the street and did sparklers.
We promised to wake the older kids at midnight and they were so tired I am not even sure they remember waking up.

Carsten's 8th Bday

Carsten had a blast for his 8th birthday. The Meyers were in town, we went to lunch at Red Robin, and he got a bike. Too bad he had a broken foot and couldn't really ride for a few weeks.

Christmas Eve Day

New Years Eve Day was spent riding all the toys, playing on the playground, caroling and hanging out around the bonfire at Nonna and Poppa's. The Meyers joined us this year and we all had a blast

Christmas Cookies

The kids had a blast making cookies for their friends.

Carsten's Projects

I figured since Carsten's projects took so much of my time I should post them. The first one was a Cereal Box Book Report. The second was his Indian project, he worked really hard and loved the results.
