Christmas

Christmas is always fun. This year we got to have two Christmas days because we were snowed in on the 25th. So that day we relaxed and played and then went visiting in the 26th.

Emmy had a great time. She was a little disappointed she didn't get to actually see Santa. But she was happy to get new toys and spend time with Grandma Bev who got snowed in at our house too.

Christmas Village

After the Haun family Christmas party we went to see the lights at Christmas village. It was stupid cold, but the show must go on. Val, BJ, and my parents joined us for the fun.

Xan was all bundled in his snow suit and Judy chilled out in the stroller. Emmy wanted to walk and was excited to see each new window.

When we were all fully frozen we drove to Virg's fit some warm dinner.

It was a fun night.

Haun Family Christmas Party

Every year my Grandma holds a party for our family at her church. We have a meal, sirens time together and have a visit from Santa.

This year we had brunch. Delicious eggs and all the fixings. Emmy and Xander both chowed down on eggs and fruit. My mom was great and feed Xander while Matt and I enjoyed our food and took care of Emmy.

Just as we finished eating a visitor came. It was Santa! He had a present for each little kid and took time to talk to each of them. Emmy was happy to go up to Santa, but a little too shy to talk. Xander didn't know what he was supposed to do.

Santa have then presents then it was time for the grown ups to do the white elephant exchange.

Then, with some more visiting and cleaning up, the party was over until next year.

Roy Lights

We went to see the Christmas lights on Roy. They always have my very favorite trees. So many lights in one place. It was over 40 degrees outside and started sprinkling when we left.

Xander couldn't keep his eyes of the lights, and loved chewing on his coat. Emmy named all the colors and splashed in the puddles of melted snow.

Early Christmas

For Christmas Matt got me a Google home. I love it for listening to music. We just say "OK Google, play Christmas music" and it does. Emmy loves it too. Whenever she wants to have music playing she asks us to "GoGo music". Such a cute big girl.

She is also very good at building towers. She did this one all by herself.
