Yes, we have a new addition to our family. He is a Chesapeake Bay, Lab, Border Collie Mix. His name is Dakota. He is getting along well with Dixie. It has been so cold he has been spending his time in the garage but the kids take him out anytime they get a chance. Anthony is going to train him into a hunting dog...watch out Uncle Darren you may have another partner hunting with you.
Well we haven't had a blizzard since 1996/1997 when Michael was born. This winter is starting to look like another blizzard year. So far we have had two blizzards in December. It sure makes you wonder what the rest of the winter is going to look like.
So what do we do when we are stranded. We Bake!! We have made Lefse, Belgian cookies, cut out cookies, Peanut Blossoms, almond bark pretzels, gingersnaps and Krumkaka. Yes, quite an ethnic variety. That's what you get with a Norwegian/Dane and a Belgian/German combo. Next year we are going to add Guatemalan recipes to the mix as well.
Maria has joined a dance group. The Teacher was a dance student and majored in Dance in College. She is so great with the kids. The group has 15 students in it and they just had a little recital for the parents. They danced to a Christian Christmas Song. They offered their dance to God. It was so beautiful.
Christina had her first hair cut. We went to Cost Cutters and the person was really good with her. She sat still and didn't way much. We just trimmed the dry ends off so maybe it will grow faster. Actually it has really grown but it keeps curling so you can't tell.
Here is Christina after her haircut.
Christina loves music. Every time someone plays she dances like she is a ballerina. Here is Christina playing Anthony's contest music. Jessica get ready for another student soon:)
