Merry Christmas from North Pole!



So all this snow delayed our flight into Seattle Sunday morning and we are now waiting to make our trip again tonight. We should arrive in Minneapolis Christmas morning, fingers crossed!
These pictures are for Jason and his classmates who don't believe in Santa! Nor do they believe his Aunt Amy lives in North Pole! Here is Santa's House and the Ice Park close by. There is a picture during the day and at night so you can see how they light up the park. Also some of his reindeer, Blitzen and Donner. Blitzen has the bigger rack and is pretty tough. A teacher that I work with takes care of Santa's reindeer year round and knows them just by looking at them. He gets to tell all the visitors that come to North Pole about the reindeer and gave my students and I a free tour! They each got a picture with Santa and got to shop for gifts. Then we went out to the ice park and went down the ice slides.If I can figure out how to get the video of us going down the ice slides I will do that soon. The kids had a lot of fun with it and I'm a little bruised from it, but it was a blast!I got a picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus last week on our field trip because he's preparing for his big night and was so busy today!
In the words of Santa...

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Happy Holidays!





We'll be home in three days! Unfortunately Iowa is looking a lot colder than Alaska this year, which is strange! I think I should make everyone come visit us this year. Here's a pic that didn't make it to the Christmas picture card....we'll have no problem with a "White Christmas" with all the snow in Iowa!

Have a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
