Christmas 2012

 We had a delightful Christmas this year. We decided to do Christmas morning at our own home when we realized that we won't all be home for Christmas together the next four years. Whitney will be gone on her mission the next two Christmases and then Steve the two after that. So, we made the most of it.

Then it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's to open gifts with everyone on Noreen's side of the family. Everyone gives such thoughtful gifts, it's always a highlight. It was especially fun to have everyone in the family there.

Then it was off to Christmas dinner at our other Grandma and Grandpa's. We had a fun time eating, visiting, playing games, opening gifts and eating some more. We missed those who were sick or too far away to come. All around, it was a wonderful day.
