Christmas with the Swensens

Chari, Brian and family arrived on Sunday, December 21st early in the morning. Our church had been cancelled for that day (due to high wind chill and blowing snow) so we just spent a very quiet day while they unwound after a long drive through some miserable weather.

After Christmas the kids went sledding/snowboarding at our neighborhood park. They had a great time but it was very cold. We were at around zero degrees with the wind chill making it about 16 below zero.

We visited the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, went bowling at Knuckleheads in Wisconsin Dells and went to a two-hour bounce session in Madison at Bounce U.

The Swensens left to start their trek back home on New Year's Day. We miss them already. It's very, very quiet around here now. We're not sure what to do with ourselves.

Brrr! Those temperatures are not so inviting. It does look like you had a god time with family though.

Wow, and I thought it was cold here. Guess we can't complain. We're slowly catching up on blogging again. That snow actually looks like fun. We had a little but then it always rains the next day and it turns to ice which is no fun.
