Christmas at the Lake and then at Great Grandma Ruth's!

Sunday morning came bright and early at Twin Lakes. Uncle Adam, Aunt Sarah and cousins Nolan, Landon, and Mabel arrived shortly after 8:00, and we all sat down to a yummy breakfast of eggbake, cinnamon rolls, and fresh fruit. After the delicious meal, the excited kids (and adults) opened stockings. Then it was present time! The kids were so spoiled by everyone! We took a few of the gifts out of their packaging and the kids had fun playing together. Then before you knew it, it was time to head to Great Grandma Ruth's.

Unfortunately, in my typical style I had forgotten our camera charger in Northwood and the battery in our camera was nearly dead, so I did not get any pictures from Grandma Ruth's. We enjoyed a lovely meal together, opened gifts, and then the kids played outside for a while. Adam gave some rides on the gator with a car roof as a sled. The kids loved it! After all the fun the kids were getting worn out, so we loaded up the gifts and headed back to Grandma Marjean and Grandpa Dale's.

We enjoyed a relaxing evening and then bunkered down for the snowstorm. We had planned on leaving Monday, but delayed our departure until Tuesday because of the wind and snow. It was nice to spend the extra day especially since Grandma Marjean had taken the day off and cousin Landon came out to play and spend the night! The kids had a great day, but by Tuesday morning we were ready to head back to Northwood and get into a normal routine.

What a wonderful holiday season! Filled with so many blessings!!
