Third, and final, Christmas celebration

Our final Christmas celebration was on Christmas Day with Mark's family.  We went to church in the morning then came home, changed, packed up the car and headed out to Mark's parents house.  It was a bit of an adventure getting up their driveway, our van got stuck and we had to have Mark's Dad pull us out of the snow!  Eventually, however, we did get up to the house!  The kids (small and big) had lots of fun playing outside in the snow, being pulled on a sled behind the tractor (!), while all of the ladies were in the house making lunch/dinner and taking care of the littlest ones.  We had a HUGE feast and some great conversation, followed by cleanup.  And then came the gifts!  The kids had so much fun opening all their gifts!  They each got their very own pillow pet and one other toy, such fun!  It was a great day and a wonderful end to our Christmas season!
