Addie Loves Minnesota in Winter

We finally have snow on the North Shore. It is so beautiful with the ground covered in white and the snow hanging on the trees. Our son and his wife from Duluth and our daughter and granddaughter from Atlanta, Georgia were home for Christmas. Our granddaughter loves putting on her winter clothes and playing on our ice covered pond.

Walking the Beach

After sliding on the hill in Grand Marais we spent some time on the beach. The waves were crashing onto the shore which was pretty exciting for a little girl from Atlanta.

Sundberg Family Tree

When the ice formed on the pond this year, water flowing over the ice created a pattern that looks like tree roots. We decided to make it our family tree.

Sawtooth Mountain Sunset

That evening, as the sun set behind the Sawtooth Mountains the sky turned a beautiful red.
