A good old Christmas at Mom and Dad's

This past weekend was our annual celebration at Mom and Dad's house. It was a little quieter (although not much!) without Kelly, Duey, Chesney, and Logan there, but it was still lots of fun! All the usual suspects were there: presents, lefse, frosted cookies, chips and dip, and Elmer. Santa visited, and brought an elf with him! Mom and Dad were far too generous again (even though we said no gifts!). Of course, no one listened to that rule.

Mira and Amelia gave their greatest smiles in front of the tree:

Santa brought Mira just the toy she wanted!
Mandy, Justin, and Annabelle:

Amelia told Santa exactly what she wanted! That girl can talk!
Amelia was excited to open her Christmas stocking!
