The day after Christmas was a nice sunny day…perfect for snow tubing! I’m not sure who had more fun the “big boys” pulling the kids around with the four wheeler, or the little ones who had a full day of tubing. Kale patiently waits his turn? If you look really close you might see the … Read More
December 27th….Jersti turns 5!The day started out very early for Jersti….before 7am I think…but I’m n0t sure since I didnt’ get up til 8:30.
