Decemberfest!

Well, not much has happened since Thanksgiving. Obviously it was a tough time with Grandpa's passing, but we got through.

The snow has started to fall here. A few inches here, a few inches there and we are finally in our winter wonderland.

We did get a chance to take the Nieces out to the Mall of America for some shopping and rides. More rides though since the girls love them. For the record, I highly recommend all adults staying away from the the Race Car ride. Back wrenching turns are a blast!

Cutest moment was when Ashley wanted to go on the Merry Go round, but didn't want to ride the animals, so she just sat in the handicapped seat..... it was hilarious.

This week is the infamous 12 bars of christmas. Only 30 hours until it begins!!! About 1,000 people roaming the bars of Minneapolis trying (and suceeding) to get drunk. Great times are had by all.
