Our Christmas festivities began with opening presents with Grampa and Alice on the 22. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures if it, but if you go to mom's blog dkwhitakerfamily.blogspot.com you can see what all went down there :)
Brenda came to our house on the 23rd and went with us to Whitaker Christmas at Gramma and Grampa Whitakers on Christmas Eve. Everyone but Nick and Esther were there. It was a fun day of food, games, stories, and mischief.
Christmas Eve is also mom and dads anniversary And Brenda's birthday. So after we left the grandparents, we went to Garry and Carols to have a party for her:)
Christmas Day we went to mom and dads and had breakfast and opened presents. So much fun. I think I enjoy watching the little kids unwrap their gifts more than unwrapping them myself. They get so excited!!
The day after Christmas we had breakfast and presents with the Bakers here at home.
That weekend we were so privileged and blessed and excited to have the peterson's over! We had a lot of fun catching up and taught them how to play Dutch blitz.
We also got the chance to go up to Wisconsin to visit gramma and Grampa smith for a couple days. Lots of rummikube and scrabble and uno were played.
Last night we took down the Christmas decorations while it was still warm and took our tree up to Morton to be mulched up. I tried making broccoli casserole from Renee's cookbook and I must say it was quite the success. Very yummy.
We didn't go to church today due to the weather. If is blowing and snowing and cold!!! We had planned on going to a globe trotters game with some friends but decided not too. The roads are just too nasty.
