Christmas in Blue Earth

We had a fun Christmas in Blue Earth. Lots of pictures so I uploaded them small but you can click on the ones you want to see full screen. Then just use your back arrow to get back to the blog post.
We walked in to this spread and this is only the snacks! Karen made 2 kinds of baked French Toast, an egg & ham bake and a sausage one plus fruit salad. She set the table with white china over red chargers and we even had snowman silverware! She goes all out with the decorating and food!
One of our favorite things!

This is only about half the toys! Notice the very small combine in front. Bill never comes up with a wish list and this year said all he wanted was money and a new combine. So Dave & Karen gave him a new combine and $1!
Bill, Dave, Matthew & Dave's dad.
Niece, Ryanne, playing her new Nintendo DS.
Bill's brother, Jim, Taylor & Memaw.
Bill's sister, Karen.
Where Dave spent all afternoon! Putting together Taylor's new kitchen. Dave, Karen & grandparents were up until about 4 am putting the other stuff together.
Some first time visitors to our new house this morning - Jim, Paul (Bill's cousin) and his wife Terri. Wish I had a video of all of their "oh my goshes" when they saw our old house! They had not seen it since it was just Bill's bachelor pad! They seemed to think there is quite a difference. :)
