Christmas and New Years

This year was our first Christmas in our own home. Christmas Eve we went to my parent's house for our traditional Jesus Supper. It was complete with homemade beef jerky, fish, sparkling cider, and Ehlana throwing up halfway through dinner. Classic.

Christmas morning was wonderful. The kids came downstairs to find all their toys and we had the whole family over to our house for Christmas breakfast. It was really fun to host our first family holiday!

We had dinner at my Parent's house and spent the day with our family cooking, chatting, playing games, and watching my dad try to get new toy helicopter out of a tree. Classic.

Here's the kids in their morning glory!










The week before New Year's Eve my sister and her family came into town. The whole family was together for the week and it was great! My kids love spending time with their cousins, aunts, and Uncles. New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful. My brother Neil and his wife spent the night with her family, my brothers Dean and Carl went to a single adult dance, and my sister and her husband went to bed at about 10:00. We stayed and played games and we actually missed the ball dropping because we were watching someone get arrested outside of my parents house. Oh, the wonderful memories we made this Holiday Season! The best part was being together as a family and watching our kids enjoy the magic of the Christmas Season.
