Christmas Eve 2009
Mom and Dad's

Despite the snow storm conditions that Steve affectionately named "snownomi," Steve, Tuck and I, yet again piled into the car and off to River Falls we ventured! We headed over a little earlier than most years so that we could leave earlier and try to avoid bad driving conditions. We got to mom and dads' around 2 and started munching on appetizers almost immediately! A couple hours later Nick and Mandy joined us and then all seven of us had a delicious Italian themed meal - complete with lasagna, french bread and salad! Church came next as it does every year where we sang many CHRISTmas songs and held on to candles for the last song, Silent Night. Then back to the house to open gifts and take family photos!!

...And even though Katie is waaaay over in Thailand right now, she was still included in the family photo {grin!}
