Lexi started the year with her first run in with the law. We know that she has caused trouble with her interesting start to life, but we didn't think she would have a run in this early! Through the years, we hope her brush with the law continues to be our friend Jim who is a county Sheriff instead of really getting into trouble! Happy New Year and may you all have a year filled with blessings and no encounters with the law.

Run in with the Law

German New Year
We celebrated New Year's Eve German style....that is at a New Year's costume party where you had to dress as your favorite beer. So, after much debate on what we should do, we decided to bring two of our favorite beers, Paulaner and Marzen, and dress as Germans. I went as a Barmaid, and Brian wore the Lederhosen that my dad bought when he served in Germany. We had a great new year's eve, and at least two of us made it up to midnight to celebrate!

Ahlstrand Christmas
The Ahlstrand Family Christmas was our final Christmas celebration. With 8 grandkids, it was a little wild with lots of excitement around.
By that time, Lexi had perfected opening gifts. However, she was a little bored with the 4th straight day in a row of gifts. So, we let the other kids, who are a little older and a little more excited go to town on their gifts. Lexi worked on her big gift from Grandma all throughout the day by going back and ripping off a little more paper. 
She would leave it for a while, and then go back again. By the end of the day, she finally had the gift unwrapped. She seems to like her new doll pram.
The one item that Lexi didn't like at the Ahlstrand Family Christmas was the porch door. In order to try and contain the kids, we locked the two doors and kept the little ones on the porch. Lexi was not such a fan of that decision. She spent a lot of the day either standing and pounding on the door or as soon as someone opened the door, quickly beelining for the door to try and sneak through.

Special Gift
We celebrated Christmas with the extended Bunch family. As is typical, it included lots of laughter, good food, and joke gifts. Lexi's great Uncle Jerry made Lexi an extra special gift of a beautiful toy box that he hand made. It is truly a really special gift.
