Sarah and Santa
Sarah's dance school held a Christmas party on Wednesday, and Santa Claus even stopped by to pay a visit. Sarah FINALLY got up the nerve to sit on Santa's lap, after three years of trying. Looks like Santa needs to work on graying up that mustache, though!
"Santa, I want a Barbie doll, and a horsey, and a Corvette, and a million dollars, and candy, and another horsey."
Can't believe she's going to be FIVE in a few more months. Already?!!
Striking a pose in dance class. She and her classmates put on a short program for the parents.

Blizzard of 2010
Well, tonight we're stuck inside because we have about 18 inches of new snow on the ground ... the most in the Twin Cities in 19 years.
Yep, that's our mailbox. Any more snow, and the newspaper guy wouldn't have a hole to stick the paper into! The mailman still hasn't arrived today, and it's about 5:30 p.m.
Our house is snowbound! Lucas helped shovel a little bit, and Caleb made a snow fort out back.
Rich has shoveled the driveway two times since the snow started late Friday night, and also made two passes with the kindly neighbor's snow blower. Gonna have to get me one of them soon!
The boys' shortcut to the bus stop has been effectively cut off!
Sarah goes sledding
Sarah and daddy went to the sledding hill at nearby Central Park for the first time this season on Friday, one day before the big snowstorm hit. Sarah had a lot of fun! We stayed for about an hour, and daddy made a few runs down the hill, too.
Wheeeeeeee!
As kids will do, Sarah quickly made a new friend at the sledding hill. They joined forces and made several tandem runs down the hill.
Yahoooo!
OK, this hawk wasn't sledding with us ... Caleb took this picture about a week ago in the neighbor's yard. The hawk and his buddies have lived around here for some time now, and have left various rabbit, mouse and bird carcasses in our yard for Max and Harley to sniff at.
