Christmas Time in Alaska

Kai's First Christmas 2010

We are so excited this Christmas holiday.  Kai, Kate, and Jyri are coming from Finland to Alaska for the holiday.  With so much to do, trimming the tree, decorating the house, cleaning and baking of cookies and goodies, every night is filled with activity.  This year, as traditional, Kyle will be spending a few weeks in California with Nana, Aunt Hope, Aunt Donna, Aunt Melissa, and of course, Uncle Ricky.  Nana has a list of projects for Kyle and a list of activities and fun places to go.  One of the activites is to attend a professional football game, so needless to say, Kyle is excited to spend some time with Uncle Rick.  And I'm pretty sure Nana will make sure that he is well fed.  But as usual, Kyle will return home to Alaska to be with his mom and dad and sisters for Christmas.  The tempature is dropping and we recieved 4 inches of snow, thank heaven for my snow removal equipment, (Kyle and Trisaha) who cleared the driveway and stairs.  Erin and Kyle are coming to the end of this school semester and testing.  It has been a crueling week but they both have done exceptionally well with their tests.  Well, just wanted to share this most beautiful picture of such a happy baby.  Hopefully will have more pictures to share after the holidays. Isn't this what's Christmas is all about!
