Vigen Family Christmas

Christmas Eve found us going to church at 4pm in Buxton; I stayed awake for the whole service! I like the candle lighting during Silent Night. We had a wonderful steak dinner that evening, followed by presents! It was so much fun; it was hard to keep up with my cousins!

All dressed up for church! Happy Birthday Jesus!

I even kept my hair clip in place for most of the night. Mom's friend, Kristin, made me a lot of special clips. They are all so pretty!


Sitting so nice with daddy!!

Do we have to take another cousin picture?

Last one... right??

What a good looking family!!

Brooks & Megan... and baby girl!! :) Next year will be fun to have a new cousin to play with!

The whole Vigen clan-- mom set up her timer and it worked out surprisingly well!

Daddy loves Grandma's flatbread... or not :)

Pushing the chair again...

Crazy aunties!

Almost where I want it...

Mommy and daddy... so sweet! :)

Our Family

Time for presents... I really enjoyed the big boxes and the wrapping paper. I didn't really get into the whole present part of it. I would be just as happy with the packaging!

I think you need to open it over on this side....

Can I help with this box Grant?

Grant sporting his new "NDSU Gold Star Marching Band' cape that Auntie Megan made for him!

This looks fun!

Another big box... is this for me?

A Cozy Coupe!! For me???

The best present ever... me! :)

Goodnight kisses! Then off to bed so Santa can come!

Fun at CV!

On Christmas Eve morning, we made Gingerbread Houses. Mommy was helping Jake and Brooks was helping Grant. I supervised! Later that morning, we went to Central Valley. We were able to invade the gym. I liked this because I had lots of room to roam. We had our annual game of kickball... I guess the boys won on a home run by Jake to end the game! Even though the girls lost, it was still lots of fun!

Getting in the Christmas spirit with my sweater. My friend, Kadence, gave me this. Grant thought it made me look like Mrs. Claus! :)

We are busy at work here... you can see Grant is back in the Santa suit!


This was Grant's house.... he went a little crazy with the icing!

Thais was Jake and mommy's house

At CV... getting ready to shoot some hoops!

Daddy, do you want to play catch?

Grandma Doris is trying to dribble here... eyes up!

Mommy found these silly goggles that help keep your "eyes up" while you dribble

Me and daddy

This is me with mommy and daddy after their battle-- they played 3 intense games of one-on-one. You can tell mommy is way out of shape... she was exhausted!

I thought it was fun to push this chair around... don't ask why!

Jake and Jack getting ready for the "big game"

Uncle Brooks getting ready to fire the ball up to the rafters... little did he know that it an automatic out! Better luck next time!

Me and Grandpa are coaching the boys

Go Grandma!

Water Park

On Wednesday, we all went up to Grand Forks for a pool party at the Canad Inn Water Park. We had so much fun, I got to go on a couple water slides with daddy and mommy played in the kiddie park with me. After I was all done swimming, I got to snuggle with Grandma Doris in the cabana!

Yea! Ready to go swimming!

Time out for snuggle time!

Back to the pool.. sporting my new 2 piece! Daddy wasn't so sure about this...

Can we go down the water slide again?

Daddy and Grandpa's turn!! They almost feel out!

All of us after going down the mini-slide

Me and uncle Brooks... I am on top of the world!

Mommy this is so much fun!

They had bouncie chairs... kind of like my Johnny Jumper-- but it was in the water!

So much fun!

Too bad my cousins don't fit in these!

Jumping girl!

Where to now?

Nap time... too much water!

And finally... top the day off with desert! My favorite!
