December 16 - 31, 2016 - 2 years 5 months





I told Kadin these were our Christmas "stockings" and so he tried to put them on his feet and walk around!

Playing hide-and-go-seek with the lockers at the Wasilla pool, where we go occasionally to swim.

Making gifts for others.

All the gifts wrapped and under the tree!  Yay Mama!

Christmas day – train set and table from Grandma Baiba.

Naked chef boy loved his new kitchen!

Playgrounds have their challenges in the winter but they are still super fun!

New Year's eve fireworks!  Oooh.. Aaaah…!
Kadin loved them once I put his ear protection on his head.  Before that, the loud noise just made him cry.

December 1 - 15, 2016 - 2 years 5 months


Eating snow again!

New loft addition and Kadin's play room!







Alaskan Christmas tree… White spruce sapling from the forest around my home.   I try to cut one down that is close to the road and grouped around a bunch of other saplings, to feel a bit better about the sacrifice. ;-)
Yummy smoothie!
