Christmas

Christmas at our house this year was a bit hectic, what with Mikayla's play, church folks having to be taken to the hospital, preparing for our specials for Christmas Sunday, and then running back down to NH to get Mikayla for vacation. Terry's folks came and brought our nephew Tyler with them. The kids had a great time getting to know him again. It's been years since we have seen him. I didn't get many good pictures of Christmas because someone, who shall remain nameless but knows who they are, flipped out everytime a camera was nearby. Mom came up and joined us for the opening of our presents and made us Swedish pancakes, our traditional Christmas morning breakfast. Alana absolutely loved her doll, and Mom got an ipad from my brother Jon. No fair! :)
Why do I take pictures of the kumkake? I don't know, but they are so good that after standing over the stove for forever, this plate was all that I had to show for it.



After church while we were all still in our Sunday best, we decided to try out the timer on my camera so we could have a family picture. This is the result. The kids had a good time ,as you can see, and were very cooperative. HA!









I love this one.
