My sister and her family have hosted Christmas for nine years. I've been so furtunate to have safely made the voyage to their northern home each winter. We attend Christmas Eve service, eat a nice evening meal - usually Italian in style -- (yep - this year I ruined the noodles, but they didn't complain too much), open a few early presents, and get items ready for Santa (cookies, milk, and notes). Staying under one roof allows us all wake up together Christmas morning, and that is such a wonderful blessing.
The winter really took over this year! It seemed like it snowed for 3 days straight! Which provided the opportunity for creating a snow fort and building a snowman (Way to go Adam and Grandma Charlene). I think Grandpa Fred's favorite part was spending time with Elliott learning the fine art of Wii games.
Ryan and Aaron got to play at being handy men when they fixed a piece of furniture and the mail box!
