Santa put some fun things in our stockings this year. Tony stole a few of these and had some fun!
Santa thought Mom needed a manual on how to be the perfect Grandma. Ha, it has some pretty funny stuff in there.
Tony spent a lot of time playing with the silly Santa stocking gifts...
Ever since Will could walk, it's been his job to hand out presents. There are no exceptions this year.
Will invested in a new guitar this year, so Mom and Dad got him an amp to practice with.
Dad got a new rifle lighter from Mom.
Will and Amanda had several joint gifts to open.
Since Dad's been working out so religiously, Mom, Tony and I got him some stylish clothes so he can workout in style.
Mom gave a very neat present to Baby K. She had 4 different afghans that she wrapped up. Each one has a typed out story of how the blanket came to be. The first were blankets my Grandma Barb used for my dad when he was a baby. The 2nd was the baby afghan my Great Grandma Lucy made for me. The 3rd was the baby afghan my Grandma Jeannette made for me, and the 4th was the baby afghan my mom crocheted for me. The little stories are so heartfelt, I will be saving them in the baby book for sure!
Amanda and I got matching DU sweatshirts! I'm a true townie now!
Mom recreated Christmas morning for me with sticky buns and egg bake! I loved every bite! I ate so much, I had to take a nap immediately following.
Tony and I posed in front of Mom and Dad's tree.
I thought Mom and Dad should pose too. Will and Amanda had already left, so maybe I can capture of picture of them later.
Christmas is still Christmas even if it's not celebrated on December 25. We had a great time as a family today: eating, opening presents and playing games. We are so blessed!
I agree! In ever-expanding families, Christmas can be when you can get the most of them together. It's not about the date. It's about the Season.
ReplyDeleteBoth Dad and I thought this was one of the nicest Fredricksen Christmas family celebrations ever!
