Family Christmas

Christmas this year was interesting. For one thing we had Eric's family Christmas at our house! It was fun to have everyone over, I just had people bring appetizers and snack food so there wasn't a big meal we had to pull off. Way less stress!! It's nice that all of Eric's family lives in the area because we are sure to see everyone for Christmas.

And now the fun part: pictures!
We have a wood burning furnace so to conserve space in the garbage I brought out this plastic tub for all the paper and cardboard. Grace and Emmit had fun playing in it before we opened presents.

Grace and Emmit helped aunt Rena pass out the presents.

Grace got a rope for Christmas and had fun running around tying up every ones hands.

Micah must have asked Santa for tractors because that is what he got! I think he got a total of five different tractors plus two books about tractors. Although he has so many of his own, he always asks for the one Baby Earl got, the boy loves tractors.

This is as happy as Micah can possibly be (other than when he is inside an actual tractor) playing on the floor with Grandpa and tractors.
