We got back last Friday night (12/26) from a lovely Christmas holiday. We were able to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa Riley. It was a nice supper at the Country Club, and then gifts for the grandkiddos back at their house. We saw a lot of family that we hadn't seen in a long time, which was great! Dinner conversation was lively and all the kiddos (all 6 of them) behaved great (no crying even from the babes).
Grandma, Grandpa, Tad
Trygve and SerenityChristmas morning was spent at the hotel with the Saugens and the Sorensens - so much fun to have all the kids together! We opened stockings and had breakfast together. (Our room smelled like sausage for a full 24 hours :)
I'm so excited about my Spiderman PJ's!

Olaf and Ingrid await their stockings.
Micah and Olaf are good at sharing their toys.
Look Mom, Santa brought my this sippy cup! (teether with handles...)Then we headed to Mark and Barb's home for Christmas dinner (DELICIOUS TURKEY) and shared the evening together. The kids (again) all were spoiled rotten with books and toys and clothes.
Olaf learns about Barb's toy box of goodies.
Elmo, I want to eat you!I found myself so thankful for such a diverse family -- one that I love to share life with. If I could only get more folks to join us and the Saugens here in Leavenworth.... (hint hint Jenny Sue and Haakon) Really though - how many folks are lucky enough to marry into a family that they absolutely love? They truly are a great group of people. (That includes all of you - not just those who I saw this weekend) Anyway, I'll stop my gushes.
That's my post for now. Enjoy the pictures!

Hey Jenn! Thanks for the post on my blog. I feel so loved! Looks like you guys had a great Christmas together with the family. How fun to have all the little cousins together. I'd love to get our little guys together if we ever make it up to the cabin at lake Wenatchee this summer. I'm sure Noah could get Olaf into lots of trouble. :) Take care!
