World's Longest Picture Blog...

Greetings Earthlings...
(Yes, we are aware that we have the most beautiful dog ever, no need to comment...)


Hey there... good to see you again!
December has been an eventful month!
Enjoy....



Christmas Tree hunting...

You have no idea how many freakin' times we posed like this before we got a picture of us all smiling for the timer shot. Each time, we had to throw a stick for the dogs so that Cormick would look in the general direction of the camera. The plan was to make this our Christmas picture, but then I rejected it as we looked to pasty white. Dan may kill me.


At least the tree hunt was a great success!


Potter and Maya's blog debut...
Covered in mud and full of random deer carcasses they happened upon along our hike... they're only goal left in the day is to jump on our bed the instant they get home. Too bad we were one step ahead of them. (This time anyway...)



The ACTUAL Christmas picture... taken several weeks later, after many failed attempts. You may be thinking... Hmmm... I never got one in the mail. That's because I have yet to mail them. Give me credit... I did get them printed! Hopefully you will recieve one by St. Patricks Day....



Almost National Champions...
(narrated by Cormick and Benjamin)

Hey! My BFF Ben is on his way over to watch the game with me!
Go Griz!


1 hour later....
Ben: Ugh... I can't watch this! It's making me ill...


Cormick: Really? Ill? Let me check your temperature! Hmmm....



Cormick: Yep... it seems you may have a fever...



Cormick: OMG! The griz just fumbled! Blasted!
Ben: Um... ow! Your stupid hand is still on my head!



Ben: HELLO! Please remove hand!



Cormick: ARGH! Now the other team is taking it all the way for the TD!
Ben: Okay... not exactly my preference of new hand placement...



The griz are lame, but exersaucing will surely improve things for now.
See you next season!




Exciting News...
Yay! Dan graduated from the MSU Nursing Program! He scored a job in the ER at Community Hospital! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost Christmas....
The Koppangs annual ugly sweater/poker Christmas Party!
My favorite holiday event! Too bad I wasn't feeling good and had to leave early this year...
Lookin' good ladies!


Susan Lois Habbe... my mentor in life.


Twas the night before Christmas...
Cormick had the honor of playing the baby Jesus in his cousins annual Christmas pageant.
Much to all of our surprise, he actually sat there through the whole thing.



Christmas Morning...

This stuff belongs to me... back off!

I guess I will share with grampa!

Sadly, I forgot my camera, so we have no other Christmas pictures from Helena! Boo...
(Thanks for the pics Grandma!)

I did like all my presents, but in reality, the laundry basket is my favorite toy.

2 days later...
Whoa! Is that Ben flying through the air?



How does he do that? I must inspect the situation!

My friend is magical!
