Santa delivered a scale model Ski Doo snowmobile to Hunter like the one he rides on in the winter. (Charlie helped him open it.) It is a really fun toy and his baby sister is the perfect size for it
Great-Grandpa Sonny met Elissa on Christmas Day. 
Mama Jane getting her hugs in on Christmas Day with Elissa at Nathan’s parents’ home in Wishek. The Huso/Lukens family came to the Pinke’s for a fun-filled (and food filled) Christmas Day. 
Auntie Lori now lives in Wisconsin and ironically Santa delivered a Green Bay Packers CHEESE HEAD to Hunter. He only will wear it when they are not playing the Vikings and only to cheer for Brett Favre.

Katie and crew:
Congratulations on your new arrival. She’s a doll and you all look so happy. Lauren was my Christmas baby and there’s something very special about welcoming a new baby home around the holidays!
Continue to keep us all posted!
