All right! So we wake up Christmas morning and have a lovely breakfast that Papa was working on all morning. Then we had a nice breakfast with everyone ....well, except Michelle and her sleepy family. I will have to say that I am a little bit jealous. Never, never since we had kids did we ever get to sleep until after 10!!! Then we packed up and headed out for our 6+ hour trip. I was a little nervous because we were almost 2 hours behind schedule. But Allen made great time and nothing was open so we had to just eat gas station food in the car, so we arrived for our Christmas dinner in WI right on time. 
We had Christmas up here with Nanny, Bumpa, Uncle Chris, Aunt Dana, Dakota, Allison, Gavin, Dakota, Aunt Annie, Carrie and Paula. It was very nice! The gifts just kept coming....whatever happened to "this is going to be a small Christmas" Nanny?
Here is a picture of Chris and Dana with their Negro drummer angels Hannah said they would just love :) Her gifts up here were: Nanny got a new paddle (not for a boat..for butts :P), Bumpa got a lovely white metal basket, Dakota got cupcake liners, Allison got a choker necklace, Aunt Annie got an angel for her tree....and I don't remember the other one. Carrie got a salt water fish bank and Paula got dishsoap :) The picture below is Gavin sporting his present. We laughed so hard!!!!
This is Aunt Annie and Chris' kids. They got her a ceramic cookie jar. It said Kitchen Diva and it was a pig posing like Ms Piggy. She has really gotten Martha Stewart like for the season....haven't you Aunt Annie? She has been baking and making all kinds of goodies. Pray for her. She was really worn out from the festivities. We love you Aunt Annie!
It was soooo cute. The kids acted out the Christmas story. They did such a good job! Even though it was crazy, it was good for all of us to stop and reflect on the whole purpose of this season. Praise God for His son.
