Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010!!!

As many of you know us, we LOVE sports in our home, therefore the Olympics is something we look forward to every couple years. This year we got all ready and the kids and I decorated flags and made food to commemorate the special opening day, and then we had a little party to watch the opening ceremony.
This is Ella and Cavin on the train (or toliet :) to Vancouver! She has a mind of her own!

Here we will keep a tally of which of our beloved countries will get the most medals, Germany or America! (shhhh Go U.S.A!)

Here is a sad attempt at an American flag cheesecake!

The German flag cupcakes!

Our dinner picnic waiting!

Then Madi, John, Corey, and Steph watched for a little while with us!
(here is Ellas fun cousin Madi, who she tries to emulate!)

Still waiting....it said it was starting at 6:30!! Liars!

And then I had to add a Valentines picture to top off the weekend.
Ragnar and I got to go on a fun date and had a fun Olympic/Valentines weekend!

Questions 1: why is the picture of you to the side a picture of an orangutan (big monkey)??? Did you meaning for that to be Ragnar? It looks nothing like either of you (ok close resemblance to Ragnar, but we still love you Ragna :) Lisa you are are Belle of course! Please change!!!

Well I guess I had only one questions but I love all of the fun Olympic things! Wish we were there or better yet you here!!! I finally have a voice and don't look like rudolph so lets talk and skype soon! Tim's mom is here till Monday -so probably next week. But lets talk before then! See you soon :)
