Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas up here in MN. This year we stayed put and didn't travel. In fact, we didn't even leave the house today - it was pretty nice!
We started our celebration on Christmas Eve with Papa's arrival from Duluth. We made Christmas donuts (yum!) and then Eddie helped Daddy leave Santa some cookies, milk and a little note.

This morning Eddie and Edith woke up to many presents under the tree. Eddie was pretty fascinated by the site. Edith was rather indifferent and really into grabbing the bows.

After opening presents, we enjoyed a breakfast of Christmas donuts and then we opened our stockings.
For Christmas dinner I made a 25 lb. turkey that my father-in-law brought with him. Everything was pretty tasty and then we had pecan pie for dessert. The kids spent the day napping and playing with their new toys. It was a relaxing day. Thanks to video chat we were able to see my parents and talk with them this morning. Next weekend we'll be celebrating Christmas with them!
I hope everyone had a wonderful time with their loved ones and if you were traveling - had safe travels!
