For Christmas this year, we went to my parent's house to  spend Christmas with my family.  It was a lot of fun. Here is a picture of the grandma's getting ready to watch the kids open their Christmas presents.... And a picture of my brother Jeremy and his fiance' Amy.... We took turns opening gifts so everyone could see watch what was being opened.  Here is my nephew Brayden opening his present with Cheyenne and Trevin watching to see what he gets... Grandpa is just chilling and watching all of the activity. Trevin was so excited to open his presents... My brother Jon was not wanting his picture taken so he was making funny faces at the camera :) Here is Nathan opening up one of his presents.  He  thought he would pose for the camera before he finished opening his gift.... More present opening.... This is what the room looked like with all of the presents open.  Now it is time to get a garbage bag and try to  clean up all...

A couple weeks before Christmas some of my husbands relatives decided to get together for a big Christmas dinner.  The majority of the relatives live about two hours from us, so we headed out when Nate got off work and drove down to visit with everyone. Here is a picture of Nate's cousin Jamie and her husband Rob.... A picture of some of the Aunts and Uncles.... Here is Nate's cousin Katie and her boyfriend.... And of course, here is Nathan and I... We did a white elephant gift exchange..here is Pat opening her present... Nate just realized that his popcorn is gluten-free and fat-free.. But he still wanted the caramel corn. For Christmas my mom made homemade caramel corn so this tub of  popcorn is still sitting in our house waiting to be eaten.  It was a fun dinner  getting to know a few of the cousins that I hadn't met before.
