Merry Christmas!

A few days before Christmas we visited with Justin's extended family when visiting his grandma for her birthday on the 21st. Then on the 23rd we went to the Martin family party at the JSMB and had a nice time. On Christmas Eve Justin went hiking all day and I went to help my sister-in-law Andrea who had surgery the day before and then I went to my parent's to set up my mom's present, a curio cabinet. I then hurried to the McMurray's for a wonderful turkey dinner and then back to my parent's for PJ's.

Christmas was a fun day for us! Tim was sooo excited and we loved seeing his excitement this year! He got a racetrack and some new little cars, a Thomas the train tent, and a Thomas the train laptop for the big gifts. Allison got a musical table to push buttons, a doll, a piano and some bubbles. Justin got a sleeping bag and some snow tubes from the kids. I got my entertainment center (again!) and a little massager, movie, and a necklace and bracelet from my kids. We hurried before the snow got too bad to my parent's and had aebleskivers and swedish pancakes for breakfast. Then we opened gifts and watched The Pink Panther waiting for my grandparents to come. They never showed up so we went to McMurray's and had a relaxing afternoon! We hurried and left when it really started to snow and really beat the big storm by getting home at 6:30 PM. Overall it was a fantastic and fun day with family! Here are some pictures:

It looks like you had a great Christmas! It was kind of a bummer for me taking the tree and everything down this year. Christmas came and went by so fast!
