The fun continues...

 Grandpa and Grandma Christensen came up the day after Christmas and they brought cousin Sarah!  The girls had a great time playing together and catching up with each other.

 Grandma made the boys new bow ties and they wore them to church.  They looked so cute!

 The children are getting better at taking pictures.  We get a good one of Russ and I together every once in a while:)

 We gave Grandpa and Grandma a nativity set from Ghana.  My mother collects nativities.  I have no idea how many she has, but I do know there's more than a hundred.  But of course, this one will be her favorite, at least until she finds another one.

 And Grandpa made the children a marble track.  They have so much fun racing the marbles down it.

 I took a moment and made a piano runner and a table cloth out of some of the fabric we brought back from Ghana.  And then we set up our African stuff after taking the Christmas decorations down.  Usually I don't take the decorations down so soon after Christmas, but I was excited about putting our souvenirs out and the tree barely made it through Christmas day and it really needed to be taken down.

 Since we are Montanans, we couldn't resist a little winter picnic with Dad.  We love picnics with Dad when he doesn't have to work!  Henry was a great fire builder and thanks to our friends who let us use their fire pit so that the fire department didn't have to come and kick us out of the park again!!!
