Christmas 2021

Christmas Eve morning, Fred, Winter and Violet left gingerbread houses and a bunch of candy and icing for the kids to decorate!  

Let the mess, I mean, fun begin!

We went to church at 3:30pm and had hot chocolate and cookies afterward. 

Then we met Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Rod at BJ's for dinner before heading to our house to open presents!

Everyone must have been good!

Then the kids played a few more rounds of Left Right Center.  Tripp won both games but was nice and gave each of them some money! 

We ate cookies and ice cream and then headed to bed!

December 15:  The elves spent the morning reading the Christmas Story. 

Christmas morning there were a few things in stockings and a few more presents. 

Madi received mostly clothes, bracelets and money.  

Matt loves Man Soap as we call it so Santa loaded him up!  

She loved the Morse code bracelets that say WWJD and HWLF. 

And she was super surprised by a fun record player!

Now we need to find more records to play!

Everyone came over for a yummy pancake breakfast then we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Heider.   

And Grandma Heider made Matt a cherry pie for dessert so he had to send a picture to Aunt Erin and Uncle Jake to brag! 

Then he teased them with the empty pie plate!

It was a Merry Christmas, indeed!
