This year we were fortunate to have plenty of help decorating the Christmas tree.

Mollie holds a miniature krumkakke mold handcrafted by Pam's dad as a tree ornament.

Before we could get to the tree, however, there were cards to sign, seal, and deliver.

We look over the family photo taken on our front porch last summer by Jack Kline.

The assembly line at work--then it was time to attack the tree.

I did my part by loading the tree with golf and Packers ornaments.

Everyone gets into the act

Meredith goes high

Mollie and Reed open a present early--something practical they can use in North Dakota's wintry weather--a mitten made for two.
