We started it all off with presents at home on Christmas Eve morning. The kids all dressed up infront of our Christmas tree.
We added another animal to our house. The 'baby' bear has become aquainted with the 'momma' bear downstairs and they are getting along very well. (The Mom is very happy that none of our animals eat or poop!).
"MY HOUSE MY HOUSE MY HOUSE! I GOT MY DORA HOUSE!" That was Becca's squeel as she jumped up and down - while holding the box of her new Dora house.
Kaylee didn't squeel, but was very excited to get a Hannah Montana guitar.
We spent Christmas Eve evening at Grandpa Ringstad's house. Everyone in town from Greta's family was out for supper, and then we had a few presents to open with Grandpa.
Christmas Day we spent with MANY people at Grandma & Grandpa Allan's house. Our family, Carrie's family, Justin's family, Grandma & Grandpa Allan, Aunt Natasha, Grandpa Melberg, Grandpa Ringstad, Great-Grandma Melberg and Great-Uncle Merton. Jacob was also excited to get a guitar for Christmas. This, however, he needs to learn to play - unlike Kaylee's that is mostly pre-programmed.
All the grandkids that were at Christmas Day. Kaylee, Becca, Jacob, Kasen and Taylor.
During our vacation the kids each got a ride on Dad's snowmobile around Wall Lake. They all LOVE it. Becca got the first ride.
Then Jacob - who thinks we need to buy him his own snowmobile. When can he get a job?
And Kaylee.
Another trip to the Fergus Bowling alley. We're nearly becoming regulars.
Jacob joined us in a modified game of Tripoly one evening. When Mom forced him to bed he was WINNING and giddy about it. We played a few more hands without him, but I think Jacob won overall in the end anyway.
Just a cute picture of Becca & Kaylee. 
Becca volunteered to help with dishes one night. She was having a good time helping Mom by drying the dishes. At one point she said "Mom, when you are done washing yours, will you help me wash mine." Cuz she still had a sinkful to dry when I was nearly done washing.
