A Minnisota Christmas

We went up north to spend time with my husband’s side of the family this Christmas. Here is a peek into how we spent our days while there.

I took so many pictures of my cute little niece she might need her own post…

Such a character.

Snowball fight

He was just a little bit happy about the snow.

My nephew trying to take refuge in the trees.

Pony rides at Grandpa’s house are a must.

My cute nephew waiting his turn on the pony.

Nick and I got to do some hiking while up there.

I got to put my new lens to good use!

Nerf war with the new Christmas gifts.

They were for the “children”.

Sunset on our Christmas day hike.

The colors were unreal.

I went out at sunrise the next day to get some pics.

We had a great time!

The Christmas Train ~Dry Gulch USA

I love this image.

It conveys to me the magic that is Christmas Train.

I think I get more out of it then the boys do.

Watching the train pull into the station.

Spotted by a caroler…

Takes my breath away!

Even though his little face is serious they did love this ride.

He just likes to hide it for the camera.

We did not go last year but we did go the year before.

I thought it might not be the same since we had been before but I was still enchanted.

The tickets have been sold out for a while to go but make plans to go next year if you live in the area!

Buy the tickets right when they start selling them!

They go fast!

Baby it’s cold outside

I already shared one the pictures from this set yesterday but that is only because I could not wait until I finished editing them all!

My little man is so cute he deserves two posts anyway.

I try to be as fun as possible when I want my children to get in pictures with me.

I tell them to run to me and attack me, make silly faces, and love on them.

He just ran up and hugged me without my asking him to.

I had him hug me again with his face on the side with the camera but I liked this one better because he hugged me all on his own.

Hot chocolate to warm little bellies.

He gulped it down.

I was not sure I would even get a shot of his face until it was all gone.

He reminds me of winnie the pooh with a jar of honey when he does that.

It is never too cold to not play in water apparently.

This is him trying NOT to get wet and still break the ice, since mommy was mean and said he could not jump in it.

I am pretty cruel like that.
