Christmas 2011

This year we spent our first ever Christmas in Sandpoint.  It was lovely, relaxing, simple, and filled with good memories.

Christmas Eve - We attended the Christmas Eve service at our church, where there was no childcare.  Kai survived through the singing, but him and I quickly retreated to the back room after a few too many loud exclamations of "Baby Jesus!  Mary!  Jofus!" during the sermon.

Our traditional Christmas Eve video and sleepover in the living room.  Kai only hung out with us for a bit before "The Christmas Carol" became a bit too scary and his crib seemed like a better place.

On Christmas morning we read the Christmas story, opened presents before eating a yummy breakfast and going skiing.

Kai was so deliberate about the opening of his presents, making sure to remove every last bit of paper.

So heavy!

Oops!









The "ABC" magnets were the most popular gift this year.  I'm glad I don't have to spend too much money to make our 2 year old happy :)


After breakfast we went skiing at Schweitzer, where it was kind of blustery but fun nonetheless.


Mr. Independent likes to ski all by himself, but since he can't turn or snowplow yet, he just goes straight which means he goes really fast!  Every now and then we have to catch up with him and slow him down.


Taking a snack break in the lodge.

Kai loves the chairlift.
