A Thanksgiving break

A Thanksgiving glimpse
Our little accountant! Kai is into buttons. I used to love hitting the buttons on this old calculator as well. It's a Hansen family tradition to cut our Christmas tree from the Black Hills. In years past it has been a joke about finding the "perfect" tree and taking a million years in the process. So we came prepared.....parkas, hats, gloves, hot chocolate, extra socks. But not this year! My parents literally spotted the "perfect" one within 5 minutes and had it cut down and dragged back to the car to load within a grand total of 15 minutes! New record! Kai was heading the pack dragging the tree back and loving every second of "romping" outside in the mud and snow!
Here's our little mountain man! Notice the knit gloves.....mom has not yet mastered putting those suckers on in a reasonably timely fashion. Therefore, they're just thrown on....no fingers available.
This is Kai helping drive the car during a carwash. He thought it was so cool when dad sprayed right at him!
Who knew Kai was part Egyptian!! We found him like this and it was the ears that really made us laugh! Thanks Great Aunt Cindy and Uncle Gabe for this cute outfit!
The camp was closed over Thanksgiving week giving us an unbeatable opportunity to spend a week at Grandma and Grandpa Hansen's house in South Dakota. We had a great relaxing time together with family and friends. We managed to eat entirely more than a "good dietitian" recommends, although not really to our surprise. We are especially thankful (amongst a long list) this year for our little man, Kai and all the joy he brings into our lives and our newest addition, Baby Unrein #2 due early June 2009. We also are thankful for our health and the abundance God has and continually provides for us!
