Ok I am so sorry that I am so behind on this!! It's been over a month...and oh so much has happened. Christmas was great. We had almost the whole family here (wish you could've been here Steve and Laura). We had a really good dinner and then an hour long performance by the girls which was really cute actually featuring a funny 12 Days of Christmas dance by Flem! Then opening presents of course! What a great Christmas for the year 2007. Both my dad and Flem hosted a "Are You Smarter Than An Aase Brother" New Years Eve party at our house for some couples in the ward and their non-dance aged children. It was really fun to sit/participate in all the activities and food that were there. We were having so much fun that we almost forgot to ring in the new year! On New Year's Day Maren was brave enough to do what's called the Polar Plunge here in Minnesota with a bunch of the YW girls. It's where a bunch of crazy people jump into the frozen lake! I really wanted to go but I couldn't find my suit so I went as the photographer. Of course the day that we go is one of the coldest days it's been all winter and it's one of the coldest Polar Plunges there's been. So I froze just waiting for Maren's group (the Guppies) to come out and jump in. Of course with my luck i was filming the YW girls right before Maren and right when Maren was getting ready to jump my camera flashed "Full Memory Card!" HA! Everyone was a little mad...! The funny thing was about 10 minutes or so before the whole thing started, they had to stir the water because it was already freezing after 15 minutes of sitting there. It was that cold!! But it was really fun going and I am wanting to do it next year! Well there were too many pictures to put up so I decided to just put together a little slideshow. But at the end there's some pictures that some of the family took with Photo Booth on my computer. There's one of my dad and I...you can totally see the resemblance. Father like daughter anyone? Hope everyone is staying warm!! Love you!
