Country Christmas with the Knutsons

It has been about a month and a half since Christmas and I am just now getting around to the second half of my Christmas post. Sheesh.

In the middle of all of the Christmas festivities we celebrate with my side of the family. Country Christmas with the Knutsons is what I like to call it.  It is so fun to get back to my roots.  We spend a lot of time just being together.  We play games, cards, eat, go sledding, watch movies, eat more, ride 4 wheeler, go downtown to Larson's Service Drug for chocolate cokes, eat, ..... Doesn't get much better than this.

Here of some photos from our trip out to "the Farm".

The kids grabbed sticks because they were scared of mountain lions.
Honestly, I was too but I tried to put on a brave front.


Matty Matt in his natural element. That's his "I am an outdoorsey, worker, tough guy" face.


And, that is his new faux fur hat I got for him from H&M.   It goes well with carharts.






 That is Shadai driving the tractor!! 



Look at that sky....beautiful.



In January we finished our Christmas festivities with a trip to Alexandria, MN where the whole gang was able to get together.  We did some skiing, tubing, and bowling.  So fun.














And there you have it - Country Christmas with the Knutsons.
