I had a nice visit with my Family over Christmas. Check out what a trip to Brainerd looks like during Christmas time.
At every family gathering there is an impromptu Foos Ball tournament, provided there is a FoosBall table in the vicinity.
Team Awesome vs. Team Olds. Team Olds usually dominates, depending on how much my Dad has had to drink. They dominated Christmas Eve, leaving Team Awesome not feeling so awesome.
On Christmas Eve we all head out to my Aunt and Uncle's house for dinner. This year on the menu: Roast Beef, Spare Ribs, lefse, mondu, cheesy hash browns and plenty of apps. That's my Grandpa hittin' up the crab ball.
It was DELICIOUS!
Trust me, you missed out.
My cousin Megan brought her fiancee, Jeremy, to Christmas. This is the first time he has been exposed to all of us. I was chatting with him and discovered that Jeremy has had very little exposure to snow. This limited exposure has deprived him of things like skiing, skating, sledding, snow forts, snowmobiling, ice fishing and the like. In honor of Jeremy joining the Family, we popped his snow cherry and took him sledding down the hill right outside the front door. This was awesome! I'm not sure he was too into it, but we were.
Because this hill was not fast enough for us, we moved on to some stair sledding. First, the stair case off the deck on the side of the house. It was fast, but not long enough. We then move next door to the stairs leading down to the lake. Perfect. It's fast and a good run.
Andrew got some serious air here!
I too went down these stairs. My trip resulted in this:
A broken sled, as a result of landing on this:
Hidden Rocks, 2007
I'm not sure if you can see them. They are hidden.
Everyone cleared them except me. I have a bruise on my ass. It's a bit painful, but worth it!
Here is Radio being scary in the eyes.
By the way. Surdyks is selling Absinthe. Seriously. I just now heard this on the news. Whoa!
Just in time for New Years. Careful People. Careful!
