We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at home this year - AND IT WAS NICE!!!! It was very relaxing and allowed us to enjoy our time as a family without having to rush off somewhere.
J sprinkling reindeer food out for Rudolph and the gang. Next year we'll have to remember to rake it up - she commented on how the reindeer didn't eat her food!
Before church on Christmas Eve
Jules is a pretty good photographer!
After church we drove around Hutch and looked at Christmas lights, including Candy Cane Lane (one of my favorite childhood Christmas memories!) and then came home for a lasagna supper. I set the time bake on my oven (first time for everything!) so it was ready when we got home. We had a nice meal by candle light, which the kids thought was pretty cool. Then it was off to bed....
Santa was here!
Will with his new tractor and ripper!
It was all things tractors and farm for Will this year. He loves his new farm set, complete with a semi, trailer, cows and 2 barns!
Julianne with her presents. Her big gift this year was a Leap Pad.
Not sure who was having more fun with the farm set - Daddy or Will!! It's nice to see them having fun together!
After Santa presents were over, my mom and dad came over to spend the afternoon with us. We had a meat and cheese tray and left over Christmas cookies for lunch and it was perfect! We played about 20 hands of Sequence with Julianne and just enjoyed a low-key afternoon. Nick's parents also stopped over later on their way home from Mankato. It was a GREAT Christmas!!!
