Christmas

Whew! Now that we've been home for a few days, the house is somewhat back to normal, and everyone is on the mend from coughs/ear infections, it's time to get back to the blog again.

We had a great time seeing all of our family around Christmas. Most of our Christmas went un-photographed. I guess we were too busy living it to document it! Here is what we did end up with.

We had O'Halloran Christmas at the farm on Saturday, which is a new tradition that we all love! The lodge is such a fun gathering space, and the kids all love to ride on the barrel train and run around outside. 

We opened our family presents on Christmas Eve and had a fun supper of party food at Grandma Beth's after church. Max woke everyone up at 5:40 Christmas morning to announce that Santa had come. I guess I'm kind of impressed that he slept until a somewhat normal waking time. 

We drove to Yates Center for lunch with my family on Christmas Day. We had fun seeing all of our extended family during the day, and then we finished off Christmas with one last round of presents from my parents in the evening. We spent the next day and a half playing and relaxing at my parents' house. What a fun Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Sugar-palooza

Let the Christmas baking begin!

Pajama Day

Natalie got to wear her Christmas jammies to school today, and Max and Emma got to wear theirs to story time!

Christmas Donuts!

Monster bowling

Max got this monster bowling set for Christmas last weekend with my dad's family, and he and Emma have been having so much fun with it.

Santa!

Natalie and Max were so excited to see Santa at the donut shop last Saturday, but Emma was too scared to get in the picture.

Agco Boys

Chris has a lot of vacation days to take before the end of the year, so he has been home more lately. He needed to make a quick stop by the office on one of his days off, and Max got to go along.

Christmas Shopping

Emma did some Christmas shopping this weekend and then rewarded herself with ice cream afterwards.

The Grinch

Chris and I took the big kids to see the Grinch this afternoon while Emma played at Grandma Beth's. We give the movie two thumbs up!
