Merry Christmas

We had another wonderful Christmas full of good food and family. We were so happy to have Grandma M come for a visit and share the holidays with us. Holden loved all the lights & decorations, TV specials (which we are still watching) and, of course, the generous gifts and visit from Santa.

The Feast fun begins.

Watching "It's a Wonderful Life" with cousins Annika, Olivia, and Colin.

White Christmas, sort of.

Of course!

Thanksgiving

Grammy and Ernie joined us for a yummy Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Yummy because Grammy was in charge of the kitchen, not because the rest of us contributed much besides stuffing ourselves with her yummy food.

Holden prefered for us to wear the headband he made at Farm School.

We got in the Christmas spirit as soon as the turkey leftovers were in the fridge.Watching Charlie Brown in his Christmas jammies.At the train museum. Notice lonely Santa. This place was filled with kids but even the big man himself couldn't compete with all the choo choos.
