Christmas 2011 re-cap

It was a wonderful Christmas, spent in New Ulm following a morning full of Santa presents. The temps climbed into the 40s (although the wind seemed to pick right up as well), but that didn't stop us from burning energy at a local park on Christmas Eve morning. 

We opted for a little "boot skating" or "poop skating" in Sidneys' vocabulary. 
 Regan begged the entire 30 minutes on the ice for skates....little did she know they were under Grandma Jan's tree just waiting for her :) 
 Presents, presents and presents galore, with a little time on Papa's lap to watch a new movie (Dolphin Tale). 
Sidney played tea party over and over while the rest of us opened presents on Christmas morning at Gma/pa Friederich's house. 
 And then it was on to the Ahlness' house where Sidney hammed it up taking photo after photo for whoever asked her. She happens to look a LOT like Hunter did at that same age, so much so that Regan still confuses old photos of Hunter for Sidney. 

 All three of us were thrilled to see Nala at Christmas. I just wish I could've wrapped her up and taken her home! 
And look, Sidney got close to Shane....well you can see by the look on her face that she's pretty apprehensive about the whole photo op with him. 
Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you for all the wonderful gifts and the time spent as a family!
