Holidays and Trip to NJ

Doing some clean up in the yard and getting some leaves to feed to the worms in the compost bin.
While xmas shopping Odin and I found the perfect gift for Mama...a pot big enough for her in the kitchen... and it's cast iron!  :)
On Christmas morning Odin loved opening up his stocking gifts before breakfast.  Note the goodies left for Santa on the fireplace!

Family picture of us.  Even Bjorn had a xmas outfit on.
Odin's favorite gift was a remote controlled Jeep.  (Fun for dad too!)

After Christmas, Odin and I went up to NJ to visit family and friends.  Odin used his new travel bag on the trip and he really did 'carry his weight' as he packed all his stuff in there.
We got to see Grandpa Jim.
The best part of the trip was staying with his cousins, Sydney and Brooke.  They had a great time playing, though Odin and Brooke were in constant competition.  The next two pictures describe their relationship, ha! 

We got to go on Uncle Brandon and Aunt Mary's boat, but no swimming in NJ.
Odin got to have fun with Grandma Cathy at the same park that I used to play at as a kid (though with different, and safer, playground equipment). 
At a large family and friend gathering we got to see Aunt Lisa and Uncle Frank too!
Hard to believe there are all these kids around...we used to be the kids!  :)
