Belated Merry Christmas!

Well, Christmas has come and gone, and the New Year will soon be upon us. John and I left this morning for our vacation in Myrtle Beach, and so I have some time to update the blog! Yeah!

First, here is a picture of Malachi in his snowsuit. Everytime we put him in it we think of that scene from "A Christmas Story" where Randy gets in his snowsuit and says, "I can't put my arms down!" :) Hee, hee.


Now, here's a picture of Malachi meeting Santa. He immediately tried to yank on his beard; Santa wasn't too impressed with that.


We had a wonderful Christmas with family. We were able to spend Christmas Eve with John's family in Moose Lake. Then on Christmas Day we got together with my family in Rochester. Malachi got to see all of his cousins in two days (except for the ones in CO)! Here are some pictures from the merriment.

Hhhhmmm, I think that Santa looks like the Santa our kids visited with Pastor Steve-O, Lori, and Ali! :) He must be the real guy!

Have a wonderful trip!

Great pictures!

Places to visit in Myrtle Beach would be Charleston. :)

Actually you should take a little drive up into North Carolina and drive on one of the little islands up there. Ocean Isle or Sunset Beach...just to drive around. You should also go up into Calabash and eat at one of the resturants on the warf. There is always shopping (lots of shpping) and with the weather they are having walks on the beach are a must.

This is sad, but I can't think of anything else right now.
