A huge effort went into taking down 7 pine trees so our garden will be bathed in lovely morning sun. Odin enjoyed the chainsaw work the most!
Once the outline of the garden was set and the trees were down...digging commenced! And boy did we dig, dig and dig some more! You can see Odin is working especially hard digging with his little shovel.
Demetrius, Maya and Odin work hard rolling logs to be used for the boarder of the garden.

hanging out with Uncle Jeff,
pretending to ride 4-Wheelers (while waiting to have a flat tire fixed Odin found his dream toy and immediately jumped on for a "ride"),
and making juice!
Odin and dad enjoying a Christmas present together. Thanks Grandpa Dave for the gift.
Odin loves goat cheese! And he prefers to eat it by the entire log!
On Christmas Eve, we had Granpa Dave and Grandma Alla along with Uncle Jeff for dinner. Odin had a gift for Uncle Jeff's dog, Mynx, that he was very excited to give her and help her unwrap!
On Christmas morning Odin unwrapped a chainsaw from Grandma Cathy and WOW, it is by far his favorite! He was cutting non-stop. Can you tell he is a forester's son??
Later Christmas day we went to a local park to let Odin run around, but he mostly cut all the bushes with his chainsaw.
One of his other favorites is a scooter. You can't see it in the picture, but there are 2 wheels in the back for stability.
Late on Christmas day it started snowing. By this morning we had about 8 inches of snow!
Trying to make a snowman...
Here's a pic of me on the roof with the supporting rails and the micro-inverters that change the DC power from the sun to the AC power we use in our house.
The 10 panels installed!! The system is a 2.2 KWh system, we sell the electricity right back to the power company. Should have complete pay-back of the system in 6.5 years (and we still own the system). The panels are under warranty for 25 years.
