Hannah showing off some of her Christmas gifts


For Christmas Hannah received a fish aquarium from Cam and Jessi. She loves her fishes. She even says "I want to see my fishies" or "I want a chair" (Then she can bring the chair to see the fishes). She also likes to turn the light on and off. The fish are less excited about the lights.

The fish are named Goldie, Junior, Morneau, and Mauer (He was traded to the Angels after the first week of playing for Hannah's team) Morneau and Mauer were named after Twins players because they were both Calico fish. Junior was named after Hannah and Goldie is the only true goldfish.







For Christmas Hannah received personalized scrubs from my Uncle Doug and Aunt Linnea. She loves to wear my scrub hats around the house. She really thinks that they are her hats.

She is learning how to use my stethoscope.

Trip to Canada and to Mount Baker


We went to Vancouver, British Columbia for a day trip. If you look really close, there are Olympic rings in the background to the right. The 2010 Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver in February.

There was a floating gas station by the Olympic rings.

Since Phil and Elizabeth live in Southern California, they really wanted to see snow. So we drove 2 hours up to Mount Baker to see snow and go "sledding". It was rather funny since we have so much snow here in MN, but it was a memory maker. Especially after walking for 30 minutes to try to go sledding and never really finding a sledding hill. It was really beautiful as you can see.





Mom decided to try to pull Hannah and Elizabeth up hill. It was pretty comical.



I love mom's face, especially when seeing Elizabeth's face at the same time.



Hannah was not sure what she thought of the sled.

Christmas 2009

After spending our first seven Christmases with Cassie's family, we decided to spend one with Andy's family. So we flew out to Washington for a little over a week. We had a really nice time.

Hannah kept trying to open the presents before Christmas day. She managed to open a few while we were doing something else.

Hannah liked the oranges from the stockings.





Hannah loved all of her presents!

Hannah finished opening all her presents and ours, so she moved on to opening her Grandma Kumpel's presents.







We celebrated Christmas at our house before we flew out to Washington.

Hannah loved her Laugh and Learn Cow. We had given a Laugh and Learn Pig to Ayden for Christmas and Hannah loved it. We decided to get her one of her own.

Hannah is dancing and twirling with her new cow. Anytime she hears music, she starts dancing right away. It is super cute!





Hannah got more blocks to go in her wagon that she received for her birthday. She really liked dumping them all over. With the extra Duplos, she can build quite the tower.

We had to snap some quick pictures because she is so fast now.

Enjoying some of the joys of winter

SNOW, SNOW, AND MORE SNOW!
We had such a big snow storm that I could not even get out of our driveway to go to work in my car. I had to take Andy's car and he had to stay at home. The church office even closed that day.













We took Hannah to the mall to meet Santa. After waiting in the line for 45 minutes and missing snack time, she was not that impressed by Santa. He tried his best, but she was very serious.

Her favorite part was taking Santa's toys and running away.

At the Klendworth Christmas, we always have Chex Mix. Hannah and I decided to make it at our house. She really enjoyed helping me stir the cereal, pretzels, and nuts together.
