The reaction we got after his favorite gift.
Cooper: Mom, who got this for me?
Mom:  Daddy and I did.
Cooper:  From where?
Mom:  The disney store
Cooper: (pause, insert the most sincere voice you've ever heard) Thank you Mom! (insert hug)
  No prompting needed, I about cried!  That was my favorite Christmas gift.
Nephew Crew; Presents from my parent's Israel trip


 Our present to Dad, a night in Cougar Town.


As with any Gundersen family reunion, it was packed full of fun things, some of which I did not get on camera.  Just to name a few; volleyball, tennis social, snow sculpture, snow walks, movies, singing to old folks, gingerbread houses, skiing, etc.  There is no such thing as downtime in the Gundersen household...unless you schedule it in.  I wouldn't like it any other way.
