Holiday Season Memories

Today was our first day back to work/school after 12 wonderful days of vacation. We had a great holiday season filled with many memories. Highlights included:


  • Logan's 8th birthday (12/23)- celebrated watching "Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Shipwrecked" and having Grandma Closer, Jason, Matt and Dave over for dinner prior to going to church.

  • Playing baseball outside on Logan's birthday - the weather has been amazing in MN this year!

  • Volunteering at (2) of the (9) Christmas Eve services at Hosanna! "Joe the Camel" and "Dominique the Donkey" were back.

  • Getting ready for Santa and opening presents in our new house on Christmas morning! Watching Carter get super excited about his new "full set" drum set - he has been playing them every day.

  • Christmas day at Aunt Beth's in Esko - playing hockey with the cousins on the lake at the cabin

  • Long run along the lake walk in Duluth in the warm weather

  • Bentleyville City of Lights in Duluth - watching the fireworks

  • Chowing on ribs at Famous Dave's - Logan's favorite

  • Hockey practice for Carter

  • Skiing at Spirit Mountain with the boys - we were concerned that Carter got injured after his third run of the day but he quickly rebounded

  • Filling the Mattson adobe with (15) of us and actually getting a restful night sleep

  • Celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary on 12/27 with a nice dinner out with Evan and Sabrina

  • And lots and lots of play dates!!!!!

I am exhausted! Going back to work sounds kind of relaxing. Thanks for the memories!
