Christmas at Grandpa & Grandma's

We spent just under six days at D's parents over Christmas. We left home early the Wednesday before Christmas, got snowed in for a few days, and then stayed an extra day (until Monday) because of the road conditions. With the two babies, new Wii games, John Deere videos, sled rides, and tractor rides, everyone was well entertained even though we couldn't leave the house.

While some of the adults played the Wii in one room, the kids watched a video on Grandpa's laptop in another room. It was a rare moment of quiet (somewhat).

We decided to open the gifts on Christmas Eve since there wasn't church. That way the kids would have all day Christmas to play with the new toys. They all enjoyed the toys that they received, and they graciously shared them with each other throughout the rest of our time there.

All the kids that could stand on their own even got in on the Wii action. Bria was too light to make the Wii Fit games work, but she tried anyway.

Bria all dressed up in her snowsuit for one of the many adventures outside. This was one of the moments it wasn't snowing.

There was lots of activity, and way more food than we could ever eat. It was a great celebration of the birth of our Savior.
