The other day Curtis and the boys went with a friend to go ice fishing. The temperature out that day was about -15. They had a heater inside the ice tent but it was too cold out for it. The boys only lasted about 2 two hours. Curtis came home about an hour and a half later. 
Nick caught the biggest fish. Curtis caught the other. They caught more but released the others.
I know I am a bit late...and I have no good excuse. We have been enjoying the lazy days at our house.
Christmas was wonderful. Megan and the boys enjoyed themselves.
This is one of the last pictures of the puppy. She has gone on to her new home. The kids miss her. Sorry the picture isn't so great. Hopefully we will get a better one when we see her again.
We are loving the Rock Band. The Beatles songs are great!
We decided to switch it up a bit this year and make a gingerbread tree instead of a house. It was so much easier. It turned out pretty cute considering my lack of frosting talent.
Yesterday we went with some friends out to the Chena Hot Springs. They have a great indoor pool and some hot tubs. They are warmed by the natural hot springs in the area. But the best part is the hot springs outside.
If you can brave the walk (about 20 feet), you can get into some HOT water and enjoy the night air. Last night's fresh air was about -15 to -20 degrees.
The water was so warm that you needed to stand up to "air condition" yourself with the cold air.
The boys loved the hot springs and want to go back soon.
I could have stayed in there all day(or night, it is hard to tell the difference since it is so dark here again all the time!)
On Wednesday was the Base Christmas Party. We were able to visit with Santa. It was the first time this year which is a shame since we live so close to North Pole. The kids were all excited to tell him what they wanted this year for Christmas. Caleb wouldn't sit on his lap though, he just wanted to tell him without sitting there. Sorry the picture isn't great, but its all I'be got.
This morning was Caleb's Christmas concert. He was so excited to perform for us. Here he is in his drum part of the program.
This evening we went to Jake's Band/Orchestra concert. They did really well....for beginning band!!
Megan started taking ballet classes last month. She loves it. She loves to wear all the pink and the tutu.
Here she is doing a turn for us. I am not picture taking expert. Curtis would have captured it better.
Caleb and Megan loving the little puppy. They love little "Sqeaky" but go a little overboard petting her.
Caleb as Dr. Jones from the Temple of Doom. He keeps me laughing!!
Little puppy at 3 weeks old. She is getting so fun. She tried to bark the other day. She has started to try and play. She licks the kids' fingers which they find hilarious.
