Christmas at Mom and Dad's house

The weekend before Christmas, we had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays with my parents and siblings and their families. It was a wonderful day, full of many of the traditions we've come to know and love, such as lefse, delicious sweets, Christmas stockings for the kids, and a visit from Santa Claus himself. Or, in this case, the town mayor dressed as Santa!

Here are some highlights from the day (my deepest apologies to Sara, who I missed getting a photo of. So sorry!).

Kelly made this gorgeous centerpiece the night before. Sara made one too!
