Stuffing tummies with entries from our 1st Christmas Eve Cooking Contest. 8 out of about 18 people entered, so there was enough variety and good natured trash talk to keep it fun and exciting. A definite new tradition!
My cousin Jess brought over his girlfriend and her adorable two kids.
Christmas morning stockings. Thanks Santa :)
We gather in the living room, sit in a big rectangle of chairs and exchange gifts in a semi-chaotic, but always fun, fashion.
It gets warm in the room fast, so instead of a real fire we opt for the "fireplace channel" which also plays Christmas music. (Is that a common channel in other places?)
Post-exchange lounging and talking.
We woke up Christmas morning to a blanket of snow! Kinda storybookish. The wind was blowing so hard we waited until the next day to go sledding.
I think Matt was resting (?) on the ground when Andrew & Shelby decided to burry him using their sleds as shovels. What a trooper.
Sunday night football party at Mack & Carol's beautiful country retreat.

Looks like you had a great time in Moberly. Good to see everyone, even if it is only in pictures!
Did the guy in the red sweater really get toilet paper for Christmas?
Wow, I love the country retreat. Looks amazing!
Yep. We gave a big pack of toilet paper to everyone in the family. Sometimes gift shopping is too much unnecessary effort and everyone needs TP, right? :o)
it looks like you had a fun Christmas and the snow is beautiful! I love the stone house!
