Thanksmas

We celebrated Thanksmas at my dad's house. We started this tradition a few years ago where we combine celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas. It allows us to celebrate together, as well we spend time with our other sides of the family and leave time to our own family. We all arrived on Friday evening. I know I have said this before, but it is pretty neat that we can all stay together in one house. The kids love all playing together and getting to have a sleepover. On Saturday we opened presents in shifts throughout the day so we could stop to enjoy the gifts rather than just the mass opening process where gifts sometimes get overlooked. Plus, with so many people opening gifts, we can all see what other people get then. There was a lot of good food to fill our bellies and a lot of good company to catch up with. On Sunday, Matt and Brian went to the Packer vs. Viking game while the girls and I got to spend a little extra time with Grandpa, Grandma, Molly and the girls. Jolene and Rolf headed back a little earlier than us. It was a very relaxing and fun weekend.
