Christmas/New Years with the Dolezaleks

Dolezalek Family Jeopardy

Great Grandma made 102 cabbage patch dolls,

John and Ron once owned a monkey...and an alligator.

John, Rachel and Dustin have all been prom king/queen.

Mostly I learned that the Dolezalek family can get heated and

very competitive in a game of family Joepardy.

Not Your Average Wisconsin Winter

in the new backyard...without snow.

Christmas 2011

playing with new toys. all day. in jammies.

can't beat that.

Christmas Eve - Pontiac Trail

We were in the new home by Christmas.

That was the goal.

Somehow it happened.

(Santa often changes his route for night shift workers)

In the Wallden Christmas tradition we did

brother-sister presents on Christmas Eve.

Luca bought Ava a mini keyboard and

Ava bought Luca a Star Wars fighter ship.

We read the Grinch, wrote letters to Santa and even

read a letter to each kid FROM Santa

(thanks to Grandma's middle school English class).

Milk and cookies, reindeer feed and put our super

excited kids to bed...
