Santa Clause came to town!

We got a rare visit from Santa Clause on December 23rd. All the kids got to sit on Santa's lap and tell Santa what they wanted. Jade and Madison had a few issues with Santa, so they preferred to stay on their mom's lap. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Sledding Fun!

The snow was good to us this year...although the poison oak took it's toll. We sledded down the hill in back of Grandma and Grandpa's house. We tried to clear the path of poison oak, but it somehow got Tyler, Broc, Scott, and Caleb. I think Buddy and Garrett had the most fun.:)

The return of the snow sculpture!

The Gundersen family snow sculpture returned this year with Wenatchee's abundance of snow. Tantor, the Elephant, was sculpted within a couple of hours by all those in the picture along with Grandpa, the picture taker.

Christmas Lights

Here's our lights...leaves a little to be wanted we think. Maybe we'll add to it next year!

Christmas Lights Extravaganza

The Dahmer's are kicking off the soon to be Annual Christmas Lights Extravaganza. Here's a picture of our home after 2 days of snowing...almost a solid foot!

Everyone post your pictures! Merry Christmas

 

It's a.....

Well here's our first picture...
can you tell what we are having?

How about this one...taking after grandpa already and doing exercises, (feet over his head, head at the bottom of the picture)

Here's a profile of the our little baby....(head is at the bottom and you can see nose and lips)

And finally, "HIS" little footprint...YES it is a BOY!

Omniture Christmas Party

The Gundersens, Dahmers and Toru (an Omniture employee from the Japan office) got all dressed up and went to the Omniture Christmas Party at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake. We had a great time, but unfortunately, no one came home with any prizes. Maybe next year! 

Cute Grandkids!

 

Intramural Champs!

On Tuesday, November 28th, in a chilly 28 degrees, our team "Disc Dates" took the Division 2 Ultimate Frisbee intramural championship...in the snow. Surprisingly it wasn't too bad once we got going although we are glad to be done. Go team!

First Snow

The first snow of the season! This morning was so much fun as Ashlyn, Emma and I braved the cold to play in the snow. Ashlyn loved every single bit of it, while Emma had thoughts of a warm cozy blanket dancing in her head. 

A new Door!

Our new door has finally arrived and been installed. Isn't it beautiful! Thanks Dad and Mom!

Halloween

We know that it's a little past October but we still wanted to share our Halloween with you. In a contest with our friends, Jenny and Sean, we won first prize with our "Pumpkin, Pumpkin" (Far left).


Once again, my 3rd graders loved to have Cinderella as their teacher for a day. They got an extra surprise when my Prince Charming came to visit during the Halloween Party!

Some prefer a bed...

...and others prefer a snake! Just another one of Ashlyn's "I'm not going to sleep in my room" episodes. Caught in the hallway upstairs with baby doll, Emma's birthday bear, water, and a book. What else do you need? 

Happy Halloween

As you can see, we had a very fun and tiring Halloween. Emma was the cutest purple dragon you've ever seen, and Ashlyn was a pretty, glittery ghost. We dressed up and went to Omniture in the afternoon for some office trick-or-treating (I'll have to send a picture of Josh's Karate Kid Shower costume ASAP). The kids had a blast, and Ashlyn made out like a bandit. The plan was to go home, have some birthday dinner for Josh and Emma, and then hit the neighborhood. Well, Omniture was just a little too much fun - they both were zonked by the time we got home. So, instead, Josh had fun scaring all the trick-or-treaters that came to the house. All-in-all, it was a very fun Halloween. 

Jason's picture has a home...

Well, the long awaited day has finally arrived...Jason's picture is hung!! That's right, we finally got the furniture, the frame, and most everything in place. That red and gold striped throw looking thing on the chair is actually our drapes. When I get around to getting those done, I'll send off some more pictures. We still need some lamps and accessories, but I'm so thankful to finally have a front room instead of a toy room as the first thing people see. Thanks to Mom and Dad and Jason for making this room possible. Love you all. 

GARRETT'S FIRST BLOG

Happy Halloween! As you can tell, we had fun! Scott and I were Sunny and Cher, I think we looked rather dashing. We had a 70's theme Murder Mystery party and everyone went all out! It was tons of fun!

The Kids had an awesome Halloween (although I think Aubrey has been on a sugar crash all day today, in her words "this was not a good day") Send all your recent Halloween pictures my way for the calendar!
