Christmas with the Amundsons

Due to everyone's busy schedules, we decided to celebrate the holidays with the Amundsons the day after Christmas, when we could all relax and enjoy each other's company. Jessie didn't cooperate much for pictures, but the girls sat nice with Joan, Arlen and Kathy.  Kathy made a nice dessert table for us with fancy cheeses and crackers, chips and dip, guacamole, cookies, you name it.  It was so nice to just sit and visit and catch up with everyone.

Jessie loved her gift from Kathy- a Barbie sketch portfolio!

Hayden got a picture of the Swedish hockey player, Peter Forsberg with a nice note from Kathy telling her who her beloved Foppa was named after.  After seven years, Foppa I is showing so much wear and tear (from being loved and cherished over the years), that Kathy went to great lengths to get Foppa II for Hayden, to hopefully last her through the preteen and teen years!  What a special and sentimental gift, thanks Kathy!

Rian got some awesome kitchen supplies from Kathy that included mixing bowls, muffin pans, cooking utensils and a wonderful cookbook for kids.  Rian loved seeing MoDo's new trick- reading commands and then following them!
