Christmas Eve 2010

On Christmas Eve, we went to Alcester to my side of the family in the morning. We were supposed to be there at 10:00 AM but of course due to SD weather and road conditions we were running late. Craig nearly gave me a heart attack on the interstate. I wasn't paying attention to the road and all of a sudden I felt the car kick sideways. My legs instantly started shaking and my heart just about stopped. He then states, "I had to test the road!" Needless to say, I gave him that what for! He apologized and said, "I should have warned you!" Ya think? LOL We arrived safely and enjoyed a great time with the family.

Here is Craig giving Ramsey some Christmas loves.. Ohh pet me, Pleeeeeeeaaaase!

Karzen chillin like a villian!

Shortly after arriving we decided to take the kiddos out sledding. Thanks to John's planning we had come with sled in hand and were ready to go! This brought back a lot of memories for me! As kids we spent countless hours outside sledding in the ditch and playing in the snow. I believe a good time was had by all!

Craig and Micah gearing up for their maiden voyage as John gets Izzac ready to go too. Shortly after we began, we decided to switch locations as the ditch was to deep for the little ones. The driveway worked great!!!

It wasn't long and Grandpa Kurt brought out the big dog! :) The lawn mower to tow the kids around!! It actually worked out really well! Sweet Izzac

My hubby.. I love him!

Fixing the rope as it got caught in the tire.. Shortly after this Micah got off the sled and stated, "I am done with this, there are to many problem!" What a stinker!

The kids enjoying a ride. Micah would lay back like this and Ramsey would try to bite his gloves! He thought that was the funniest thing!

Micah's first snow angel of the year.

After sledding we all came in and warmed up. Soon, it was time for presents!

After our time spent with my family, we headed back to Madtown. We attended Christmas Eve service with Craig's folks and his brother, Ryan and his family. After church, we congregated back at our house for Chili and other fixins and family time. We had a great time as adults visiting and playing Zhu Zhu pets! Yes, I think we had more fun with them than the kiddos!

Zhu Zhu madness!

While we played with the toys, this is what the kids did. They watched the movie Despicable Me! You can see, Micah was not interested in the movie because he got his paws on Ebeni's DS!

It was a great day with family from beginning to end! We couldn't have asked for a better day!!
