We really couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. It really is the most wonderful time of the year and it really is worth all of the efforts and craziness that comes with it!
Christmas Eve
We spent Christmas Eve with the Tanner Family at My Parents. They put out a great spread to eat, made even greater by the Christmas Jello made reluctantly by yours truly! We had a gift exchange, Grandpa played the accordion and the kids acted out the Nativity.
Tanner was Joseph, Reagan was a wise man, (much to her dismay!) Tanner got Transformers from G'ma & G'pa but Todd & Uncle Muff didn't want to 'share'! Markie loved the Bunny Outfit made by me...(a spoof on Ralphie and The Christmas Story!)
Reagan and Tanner were soooooo excited about the big guy coming! They tracked him on the Internet all evening and finally had to go to bed when Santa was in Florida...He's almost here!

Christmas Morning
Santa came! The kids were on a serious high! Tanner got a talking race helmet and ended up running laps around the house all morning to burn off some energy. Reagan was thrilled with her gifts and especially excited about the cans of blue paint to do her room with...can't say I'm as pumped up about the project myself.
Even though we tried to make it last as long as possible, the kids tore through the gifts way too fast. Santa even found Murphy...I'm not sure he's been such a good boy.
Christmas Day
We spent Christmas Day at home mostly then went to Debi's in St. Anthony for a Housley gift exchange and Dinner. She made a delicious sirloin roast...my mouth is still watering! We were so happy to be able to hang out with the Housley clan who we always have so much fun with.

The Housley cousins all wearing their new snow hats from us! Aren't they adorable?!...and the hats are cute too!
Day after Christmas
So in case we hadn't had enough fun, the day after Christmas we loaded up and headed to Montana for some fun with the Tanners at Fairmont Hot Springs, for a couple days. We swam and ate and swam and ate and swam and ate! On Sat. Reagan literally was in the pool from 10am to 6pm! I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was either swimming or eating but here's one in the car that pretty much sums up how we all feel after so much fun!
We hope you all are as exhausted as we are after such a great Holiday....Merry Christmas!
