We had an amazing holiday season! Having not been back to Minnesota since the year we were married, (those trips to Wisconsin seem to take up so much time!) we decided to spend Christmas in the winter wonderland of Minnesota...
After an exciting Christmas Eve at Grandma Culver's with the whole clan, we headed up to Renee (Nikki's mom) and Pete's house in Northern Minnesota.
Hello Christmas Tree Forest!
A yummy all-fondue Christmas Dinner
Renee and Pete put together ice-versions of golf, cricket, bowling, badminton and Bocce ball...it was amazing!
Playing on the lake
Pete's children and grandchildren came out to enjoy the winter playland!
Michael very much enjoyed being a kid again with Pete's grandkids. (And he got his butt kicked at Wii!)
For the New Year we headed to Los Angeles!
Here we are on New Year's Eve with Renee and Pete and Nikki's aunt Alicia at the BEST place in all of California...Tiki Ti!
After a late night, we started 2011 VERY early with the 2011 Rose Parade. The highlight being the BEST BAND IN THE LAND!!

It was a tough game, and even tougher end to the day with Wisconsin's 2 point loss to TCU. But, with the best fans and the best band, we still had a great time. 
We finished with what's now become a regular stop for us in L.A., a hike in Griffith Park to see the Hollywood sign.
2011 brings some big changes for the Craigs! Stay tuned! (Just back right up, it's not THAT.)
