Christmas Time 2010

We had lots of party time with our Minnesota families early December since we were going to be in California. The Christopherson side were over to our house and the Harris/Palkowitsch clan were at Larry & Jan's for a party and Santa even showed up! The kids had a blast!!

Gavin LOVED the presents!!

Breck loved playing with all of Grandma's christmas deco!


Everyone is singing songs and waiting for Santa to arrive.

Gavin was super excited that Santa came to Grandpa & Grandma's house!!

Breck wasn't so happy about Santa. :(

Santa, Gavin & Brecken

We took the boys to see Santa at the MOA, which by the way is the best Santa EVER!! :) Brecken wasn't all about Santa this year, but Gavin LOVED him of course (he's no dummy, he knows where the presents come from!).

Brecken was trying to make a break for it with the train. He was out of there!!!! ;)

Gavin and Santa high-five!

Brecken was ok as long as he wasn't sitting on Santa's lap...


Brecken not happy!

Halloween 2010

We had tons of fun this Halloween. We took the kids on the "spooky trail" at the Dodge Nature Center. And for Halloween night Brecken & Mom helped Grandma Jan pass out candy while Dad, Gavin and Grandpa checked out the HUGE bonfire at Harmon Park and went Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. Gavin brought home TONS of candy and was super excited to eat it all! :)

Corn Maze!

Of course we had to make our annual trip to the Seavers Corn Maze in October. We had a blast as usual. It was an unusually warm fall day, so it was perfect to be outside!

The petting zoo was a hit!

Ryan's Birthday!

Ryan had a good birthday this year. Grandma & Grandpa came over for a yummy supper and chocolate cake (Ryan's Fav!). And the boys were there to help him blow out the candles. :)





His present from the best wife ever was a Harley rental of his choice for a whole day! So he got a crew together and they all went for a ride over in the wilderness of Wisconsin. :)

Brecken is One!!!

We can believe it but our lil guy is ONE!!! The year went by so fast! We had a party at our house and had a good turn out. The weather was great for us to go outside and play after eating lunch and cake. Here are some fun pictures of Breck attacking his cake. He did a good job destroying it!
