Late Christmas in Blue Earth

I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at our outside thermometer when I got up yesterday. It was -27!

We headed north to Blue Earth with Peggy for a late Christmas. This one was to be on Christmas day but everyone in this area of the country was snowed in. This way we were able to go!

This year we were just going to do gifts for kids but Karen & Dave cheated and gave us gifts from the kids.

Matthew was thrilled to get a combine "just like Uncle Bill's! Ryanne was happy with her gifts and we were so glad to not miss hearing the funny comments from the other two!

Everyone had had enough ham and other Christmas food so Dave made his spaghetti and meatballs to go along with salad, garlic bread, oreo salad and gooey, warm choc. dessert with ice cream. Karen and Ryanne go to a cookie walk every year so they always have a pretty variety of Christmas cookies.

Bill has just figured out how to download Netflix movies to the computer and then watch on the TV so now no waiting for a new one in the mail although all are not available this way. We're watching Super Size Me tonight.
