This year it snowed on Christmas (just over an inch I believe), which made for the perfect holiday atmosphere. The Star and Tribune ran a little infographic about the probability of a white Christmas in Minnesota. Note that certain areas of Northern Minnesota are guaranteed a white Christmas.

Sledding
The snowy weather inspired a group of us to go outside and sled in the backyard.
Bro-in-law and niece.
The outlier: knee-first sledding!
My sister tearing up the snow.
My father.
My aunt.
Don't fall off the sled as deep snow awaits.
Christmas Morning (Stockings and Presents)
My niece received a little gorilla in her stocking;
she's attempting to imitate it here.
My niece gave me a storybook of my life (2005-2007) made with Shutterfly.
I gave my niece a princess crown.
The next gift my niece opened was a princess dress.
She is actually airborne here jumping for joy.
The full princess costume.
