Christmas

We had such a great Christmas this year.  Nothing is better than spending time with family.  We tried a new family Christmas Eve dinner that I think we will make a tradition.  After dinner we watched Mr. Krugers Christmas, dad read Luke 2, and Marc continued his grandparents tradition of reading Twas the Night Before Christmas.  The kids sang to everyone, I was very proud, and then talked up the chimney to Santa (a Hansen tradition).  The kids and I made chocolate chip cookies for Santa and quickly off to bed they went!  We enjoyed Church Christmas morning and opening gifts.  We cooked a fabulous Christmas dinner of  prime rib, mashed potatoes, butternut squash soup, rolls and vegetables.  We spent the rest of the week exploring new places, laughing, eating, laughing and eating.
