Christmas day 2009!

Before my family left, everyone made a HUGE jump out in the yard and went own on the Skate snowboard.
Pete and Anne gave Seth, Leif and I Pirates Cove (a board game).

Uncle Jay, Aunt Wendy, Luke, Ingrid, and Uncle Paul gave us some baseball caps that had LED lights in the rim of the hat





Zane and Rach gave me a super cool zip up jacket thingy from Austria

Bright and early, Lars woke everyone up on Christmas morning. We opened our stalkings starting with the youngest kids (Lars was obviously the youngest). You could tell that Lars had a lot of fun opening his stalking. After we all opened our stalkings, we took a break from the presents and ate a wonderfull breakfast of cinnamon rolls, eggs, toast, and fruit. We finished opening gifts, and my family had to get ready to head home. The snow had stopped falling for awhile, and it was going to start up in late afternoon. So we wanted to beat the bad weather and get home.... We arrived safely right as the snow started to fall. We put up our Christmas tree after we all unpacked all our goodies. It was a wonderful Christmas!! I thank God that He sent His son to be born on Christmas day, and die for our sins on Easter... Merry Christmas! Hannah
