Christmas vacation with the Bauers!

 My little helpers getting lunch ready with me

 Aubrey's K3-K5 Christmas program

 Allison is all dressed up for the Grades 1-8 Christmas program



 We let the girls each open one gift on the first day of vacation...the older 3 got new Wii games and Catie got a Veggietales movie
 She was pretty excited!!
 All prettied up for Christmas Eve church!

 Thank you Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Nelson for having gifts for us under our tree!!
 We had a little Christmas Eve family celebration after church...fondue and Christmas cookies!

 Nate does whatever is needed to get Catie to hang out with him...she's a sucker for electronics!

 At the Mall of America in Minneapolis...Tuesdays are Toddlers days so we got to see a crazy lady in pajamas teaching the young ones how to dance!

 Aunt Amy takes a crew on the log ride
 Catie got to ride her first carosel!

 Hanging out, enjoying our days off of school!

 At the Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells for one last day of fun!  We were able to get a fantastic deal on a suite, waterpark passes and lunch!  It was a great way to end our Christmas vacation!







 That big bucket at the top dumps water every few minutes...I forgot to move Cate out of the way once and she took it full on!  Not many tears...what a trooper!


 Aubrey was busy busy riding every water slide she could!  She had a blast being tall enough to go by herself on the slides!
 In the wave pool!



 Enjoying our pizza lunch before hitting the road!
