Sledding the day after Christmas. Collin, Kade, Mom, Dad, Aunt Laura and Michelle all went sledding the day after Christmas.

Merry Christmas from The Olson Family. These are random shots of the boys opening gifts on Christmas Eve and Christmas day from Grandma and Grandpa Olson and Nana and Papa. We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a happy New Year!

A visit with Santa. Collin and Kade went to see Santa this weekend. The original plan was to go to the zoo. The decorate the zoo, the kids can eat dinner with Santa, and then a horse drawn sled ride through the woods. The weather did not cooperate though and it was too snowy to make the trip. We decided to head to the mall instead (not as fun). Collin was very concerned about how Santa could be at the mall and the zoo. We told him he was finishing up at the mall and was heading to the zoo after. He then said well if Santa can make it to the zoo why can't we? We responded well Santa has his sled and reindeer. Collin then said he wished he was Santa! Too cute!

Kade was just happy and kept pointing and saying Santa. He is really into Christmas this year! Every time we said we were going to see Santa he would ask..and reindeer too?

Making Christmas cookies!

Collin had speaking parts in this years Christmas pageant. He did a wonderful job!

Grandma and Grandpa Olson came to watch Collin in his Christmas pageant and we had a little Olson Christmas celebration.

Snow Day Fun!

What do you do when you come in from the snow..drink hot chocolate! It was a fun morning. Dad had to finish the shoveling though :-)

What to do on a snow day...play in the snow! We had about 8 inches and Dad worked from home today. Collin, Kade and Mom went out to start the shoveling and have some fun in all the snow!

After the decorating was done Collin wanted to have some fun with our camera. These are all the shots he took (I think he did a pretty good job!). As we watched him run around the house snapping shots it made us happy for one present Santa will bringing this year for Collin :-)

Decorating the Christmas Tree. All of our decorations are up (except for the outside which we decided to skip this year). The boys always have so much fun putting the tree up. The asked all week and we finally did it Friday night.
