Making the Christmas Rounds

I love getting to see all of my extended family this time of year. So fun to see how everyone is doing and for them to see how much Harper and Owen have grown and learned. We started off Christmas Break with a Saturday afternoon get together with the Marks Family. Not everyone could make it, but we still had a great time!

On Christmas Day, as we made our way to Branson for a few days (post to come later on that), we stopped by to visit Gramps and Grandma Jan. It was bitterly cold and snowing lightly snowing, but we stayed inside and had tons of fun playing with them and their toys.

We also got to spend time with Richard's parents on Christmas Eve afternoon. We went to eat lunch with them at Chelino's. Mexican food was a nice twist at Christmas...we had been eating a lot of "traditional" food and it was something different. After we finished our fiesta, we headed to our house so the kids could open their presents. They each got a new suitcase to take to Disney World this spring. Harper's has Princesses...of course and Owen's has Buzz and Hatty (or Woody to everyone else). They also got some other really neat and fun gifts!

Christmas is the most wonderful time of year!!!
