Lunar New Year

Winter, the longest season in Minnesota.  Fear not!  The Berger boys love skiing.  Well, I think your brother likes it more than you, but you've mentioned wanting to join the ski club next year. 

 

Here you are taking place in history at the NO ICE march.  Minnesota made U.S. and world history by protesting ICE.  Our state has taken a lot of ICE activity because of our voices against POTUS and being a blue state.  

 

No winter temperature will stop a true Minnesotan!

Happy Chinese New Year

Someone got their Limu Emu 

 

I don't know what this was all about but it was super funny.

Sword battle with your brother, in your grandma's fur coat. LOL

Happy 15th Birthday Ben!!

I cannot believe you are FIFTEEN!! Happy Birthday to my first born Beni Berger.  May you always have joy, happiness, love, stuffies, blankets and pepperoni pizza in your life.  We love you sooo much.  Freshman year has been fun and overall, not too stressful!  

Your brother is here to protect your birthday walk! 

 

I AM FIFTEEN!

Thank you for making me a mama.  Being your mom is the greatest gift I've received.  I love you so much Beni!!

2025 Christmas break & 2026 New Year's!

After coming back from Boston, we immediately went tree shopping to get ready for... SANTA!!!  Three fast and furious weeks to write letters to Santa, put up the tree and decorations, bake cookies & pretzels and get ready for our long winter break.

Christmas break was a blast.  Yipao came and visited us.  We also had the Rowen's over for New Year's.  Santa delivered lots of gifts and we also had many meals - Kyuramen, Smack Shack and Dim Sum.  We saw the Grinch for the first time and it was the best!! Will definitely build this into our traditions from now on.  Love you so much Beni Berger!! :) :)
