Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this last year. On Christmas Eve we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and spent the day hanging out. That night we went to Matt's parents for a Christmas Eve dinner and program. We had a great time. We went caroling, opened stockings, read stories, etc. It was one of our favorite Christmas Eves. The grandkids are all growing up so fast and keep us entertained!

On Christmas morning we opened presents with Allie at our apartment, then went to my mom's for breakfast and church. We had Christmas dinner there and headed to Matt's parents for the rest of the evening. It was a fun and relaxing Christmas. We love living close to family and being able to go back and forth like we want.

So happy!

I love this picture. Allie loves her grandparents.


Presents from Grandma Peterson.


This is a marble toy that my dad and grandpa made us when we were kids. I always wanted one for my kids, but my mom had gotten rid of it when we were younger. My mom went and borrowed my grandpas and paid a guy to make 6 of them for all of us kids. Best Christmas present ever! Allie loves it!
