Winter...BRRRR....

ELMO!!!!

Happy Chanukkah!!  

Here, in MN we are braving the cold, and Sivan has learned to say "BRRR" every time we step outside.  We tried sledding with Sivan.  At first she wasn't so sure...

so we gave her a little pep talk....
and then she seemed ready!YAY SIVAN!

It's been a big year for the Kalkstein family. After all, we grew our family by 50% (if we count Tsipi, i guess it was a 33% increase). And we finally are done with school...So we got a nice respite from the cold weather with a trip to AZ to celebrate Dr. Adam.

When it comes to packing, Sivan is a big help!

Sivan has had the spoiled life of an only child.  Except for having to learn not to invade Tsipi's space.  If you taunt Tsipi by playing with her toy...

Tsipi will seek revenge!

Sivan crawls through a log at the Children's Museum.

Well, it's been one hell of a year for us.   We hope it's been a good year for you and that you have a happy holiday!
