Of Basketball Games, Chainsaws, and Christmas music...

Greetings!
Alas, no pictures this week!  We will redouble our efforts next week!

But this week was full of excitement and adventure.  Mari's alumni event for basketball players was this weekend.  The highlight for Jonas and Elsa was the ability to run and play with lots of other kids.  There was a moment where they both almost ran on to the court during the middle of the PLU Women's game but that was narrowly adverted!  In the fieldhouse (a large open sports practice facility, Jonas and Elsa ran, ran, and ran some more.  It was a great night and they were tuckered out!

The next morning Jonas and Dan went shopping.  They went shopping for a chainsaw.  Jonas was in hog heaven as they walked around two large home improvement stores looking for it.  After no luck but lots of looking at other tools at store #!, they were in luck at store #2.  In addition, store #2 had carts in the shape of race cars so it was a double win.  Jonas was very excited to watch Dan use the chainsaw in the backyard and had his nose pressed up against the window.


We checked out a Christmas video by the wiggles in November.  Elsa has been requesting us to recheck out this video every time we go to the library.  And so it was that the family gathered around the television this weekend and sang along to "The little drummer boy" "We three kings" and several other classic and not so classic Christmas songs!  Elsa loves to sing...and she loves the wiggles!

God Bless,
Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
