Happy Thanks - Christmas!

We just returned from our Mattson Thanksgiving-Christmas in Duluth. All had a good time. The boys enjoyed playing with their cousins (going on hikes in the enchanted woods, visiting the Aquarium, playing "hide-and-go-seek," and making Christmas cookies). Friday night we all went to visit Bentleyville in downtown Duluth - AMAZING light display complete with Santa, free hot chocolate, and cookies).

Bentleyville attracts over 200,000 people each year for a light display encompassing over 3 million lights! The event is free and run through volunteers - highly encourage a visit to Duluth to check it out. This year they added a 12-story Christmas tree with over 50,000 lights that is synchronized with various Christmas songs.

Today we are headed out for our first ski day of the year - Carter is primed to test out his new skis. Hopefully the next post will be filled with fun pics from the hill and not from the ER.
