Yes, we did celebrate Christmas!

I'm late with my Christmas post (thanks for checking up with me, Shelly!). We will remember it as our first real white Christmas! It snowed and snowed on Christmas day!
We hosted the family Christmas Eve dinner at the request of Tristan. We had a traditional ham dinner with family members pitching in on the side dishes, and everything was delicious (especially the tried-and-true Costco ham!). After reading Luke 2, and playing the yearly pass-the-present game, we played Bunko. Somehow we even convinced Jarrett's dad to play!
On Christmas morning we got up and saw what Santa had brought. Jarrett's parents came over, too. The kids were very excited that Santa had brought each of them their #1 wish - a Nintendo DS for Tristan, and a "Bitty Baby" doll for Karina. After a nap we took our 4 wheel drive and picked up Cameron's family and went to Jack & Tammy's for a Prime Rib Christmas dinner. It was a great day.

sounds fun. I can't believe you got that much snow! I looks like our house! Are you getting flooding?

There is flooding all around us (within a few miles), but we are smart enough to live uphill!
