Welcome to Puppatariot Press!

Since I have so much fun keeping up with everyone else's blog, I thought I'd start my own. In case you're wondering, "Puppatariot" was Veronica's racing name, and "Puppatariot Press" just has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

Anyway, to start off the blog, I've posted some pictures of our Christmas vacation. We've had a great end of the year, and we're hopeful that 2009 will be even better! (I mean, how hard can it be to be better than 2008?)

Enjoy, and be sure to sign up for the feed to get all the posts automatically!

Before we went to see the Nutcracker at the State Theater, we visited the Macy's Holiday Display.

Karl got a new Star Fighter (I think that's what it's called) on Christmas morning!

Last week we went ice skating in St. Paul. Laura wasn't so sure about the whole thing...

...but Karl loved it. His tenacity paid off and by the end of our session he was proudly skating all by himself!

Laura was glad when it was all over.

During the last snowstorm, Rush City ended up getting 14.5" of snow! Laura and Karl had a blast trudging through the yard in it.
snowstorm!


Even Penelope loved all the snow. She would jump all the stairs and slide across the deck, then jump off, race around the yard, and do it all again!
