Presents! The boys enjoyed opening gifts, hanging out with almost three-year-old Luke, playing the Wii and playing with the hexbug track that Grandpa made. We even got a little snow while in Britt, but not enough to play in. I did not feel well when we were there (Keith's wife, Tomi, was sick too), so I did a whole lot of nothing.
Having fun with cousin Luke. Lewis is having a hard time with the name switch from "Baby Lucas" to "Luke," but Lucas does not appreciate being called a baby.
We spent several days in Fremont this year, but I took very few pictures. The cousins had a ball together as they always do. And they are all growing up so much. I remember thinking how big the older kids were when they started going to school. Now the youngest one of the bunch will be five in a few months. Crazy how time moves so quickly.

All tangled up.You can't say the Nelson family doesn't know how to have fun. Check out this great party game!
I get my very own concert every day at naptime and bedtime and sometimes in the middle of the night. Lewis has sung himself to sleep since before he could form words. Most of the time he makes up songs about his day, but recently he's been singing Christmas songs. I love this kid!
That's the love of my life there in the red white and blue sweater. Sorry ladies - he's taken. :)
With the help of many many people, we moved on November 19. Here's a glimpse of our new space. We are loving it. This is the view from the front door.
The kitchen is wonderful. I love the space, the countertops and the hardwood floor that Corey spent a lot of evenings installing and finishing. I'm still not a fan of stainless steel, but I didn't have a choice in the matter.
