Christmas 2010

We had Bill's family (mom, brother, Aunt Bette Jo & Uncle Tim) over on Christmas Eve. We had wild rice & chicken soup and potato soup, ham sandwiches and misc. Aunt Delrae wasn't able to make it due to the snow.

Then Christmas morning, we headed up to Blue Earth along with Bill's mom to Bill's sister's. She and Dave have 3 kids so it's always fun watching them open all their presents. Last year we just did gifts for the kids but this year Dave wanted the adults to have some fun too so he came up with a gift exchange for us which even involved stealing from each other. Bill ended up with his own gift which makes you think that you should always buy a gift you wouldn't mind ending up with yourself! (he had bought an Alvin & The Chipmunks CD, M & M's and 2 cans of canned air) I got a marshmallow shooting gun (which I donated to the kids) and some chip clips.

The roads weren't bad going up with almost no other cars out and about, it snowed lightly all day and the roads were better on the way home.






All of these pictures were taken at Karen & Dave's. They always have the house decorated so nice. She and Ryanne do a cookie walk every year so always have a big variety of Christmas cookies to look at and sample. I love her snowman stainless! You can see that Dave's a big Nebraska fan.
