Christmas fun

Gingerbread house building project...

Christmas Eve...let it snow!

We have a tradition that has been in place for years...no matter the weather, Dad hides their xmas eve jammies outside, in the snow, in the bushes, in the forest...and the kids must bundle up and go search!

Jimmy was first to find his this year!

We had a small group this year!  All the big kids were gone...except Lewy...his last Christmas for 2  years!  He'll be back in 2018!!

Christmas morning stocking opening 

Austin got Spam in his stocking...Santa knew he was talking about it and turning his nose up.  Santa knew he needed to try it to see that it actually tastes pretty awesome...especially fried with a little mustard!  Some 'people' grew up with Klik or Spam...he learned something new today!

Going down to the tree...

Turkey dinner waiting for Uncle Martin to arrive...

I had to take this one to see how clean the kitchen was before we started eating...after all the preparations.  

Uncle Martin and Lewy visiting for last time...for 2 years anyway.
