Happy New Year!

Hello and Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! Below are some pictures from Christmas that my dad took. Hagen was really into Christmas this year - he did great opening presents and he LOVES Christmas lights - we still have to turn the tree on every morning and night or he gets upset. We'll see how it goes taking it all down this weekend...

Yes, I know it looks like Hagen is picking his nose in the third picture but my dad promises that's not it...after careful analysis of the photo he said Hagen is playing with the jingle bell he got from school (that he had to wear around his neck for about a week).



These are a couple of the other pictures Shawn took when we were getting a shot for the Christmas card. The second one is the full shot before we cropped it for the card. Hagen loves to point out the ornaments he knows on the tree: "no-maa" (snowman), "ball", "ockey" (hockey players), "bear" followed by a growl (there are a couple of teddy bears), "no-fay" (snowflake). And of course he points out the lights - "liiights!". You can tell we have a small child in the house because the tree isn't decorated on the bottom. :-)
