Happy New Year!

Hello friends and family,

Sorry for the late blog after our Christmas trip to Iowa. We had such a good time in Iowa with all of the family and here is mostly a picture summary of our time during Christmas and New Years.

I got to try my hand at sledding. It was fun but I had to go with someone and was not comfortable going solo quite yet.

Here I am with my cousin Maddie getting a ride.

We took a walk on the lake to go see a large eagles nest. You can see the nest in the upper left of the photo.

Taking a break at the nest site with my buddies Maggie and Maddie.

Hey Julie, where did you come from?

I got a ballerina dress and wings for Christmas.

I loved opening gifts and when I finally got them open I would always say "oh wow!"
I was even trying to get to the gifts that were not even mine.
Hey grandma, did you get any good ones of me to check out?
We had a snowman building contest. Julie with her Dutch girl and Trent with his Ogre. Dutch girl wins.
In addition to the outside activities we spent many hours at the pool. I really liked the pool and after the first couple of days I was saying pool all of the time.

So much fun!

I hope that you are all having a good start to 2011 and that you had a good Christmas as well.

Love,
Lydia
