We all enjoyed celebrating Jesus’s birthday with family and friends and good food and ….SNOW!!
We started out on Christmas Eve with possibly a new tradition-we all went over to the Koehlers that morning for homemade doughnuts. The kids had never had any that were homemade before. All of the older girls had spent the night with the Koehlers and the boys spent the night with us.
The breakfast was yummy and the friends even better. Then we came home and I finished wrapping a few last gifts. We gave some cocoa mix to our neighbors and headed to church for the Christmas service. It was a beautiful service celebrating Jesus and his birth.
Then we headed to Mom’s house for the celebrations to continue. Brandon came into town and him and Brian and Deena showed up. We had our traditional ham sandwich (best one of the year!!) and shrimp tree (which I look forward to for months beforehand!) One of Mom’s single ladies made this beatiful cake for her and it was as delicious as it was beautiful!!
We opened gifts after dinner and everyone got lots of nice things. She had made the kids an ornament that was on the tree with pictures of them from birth all the way up to present times. It was so fun to look at them grow up and remember the good times.
Nick and Lindsey also brought the kids-Michael and Mia over to add to the fun.
Justin got the Nerf gun he had been wanting!!
We came home when we found out that Santa was in Canada heading this way and put the milk and cookies out and headed to bed.
