The girls had their very first white Christmas this year. We flew out to Minnesota to spend a great week with Kyle's family. They had a significant amount of snow a few days before we arrived, so everything was white.
The plane rides went as could be expected, a little fusiness, not a lot of napping (I think Katelyn napped for about 45 minutes of all of our plane rides). We packed quite a few toys. For Katelyn, the best was downloading episodes of Backyardigans & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse onto the iPod Touch. We also had found this great free app called 'Alien Buddies'. It is fairly simplistic, but has a lot of different things she can do (matching, puzzles, dot-to-dot) that kept her busy for over half-an-hour both directions. We had a lay-over in Minneapolis both directions, so the girls spent some time playing in the children's area of the airport.

| They went for a ride in this plane, but Brooke's favorite was driving the bus in the background. |
On our first full day in MN, we wanted Katelyn to have a chance to go out and play (it was also supposed to be the warmest day for several days, I think it topped in at 14*). She got all bundled up and went out to play with the adults (Brooklyn was napping).

| She was about this happy every time she had to get bundled up. Gloves were her least favorite. |
 |
| Uncle Jon pulled her around in the backyard. |

| Katelyn's first snow angel with Aunt Kristina. |
 |
| My little marshmallow. Isn't she cute. Just having fun walking on the snow. |
On Christmas Eve we went to church (which was somewhat eventful because there was not nursery that night and Brooklyn is not used to sitting still) and when we came back, the girls decided they wanted to serenade us . . .
Stay tuned for the rest of our trip (hopefully I will post it tomorrow).
