Christmas certainly didn't go the way we thought it would this year. Mother Nature had different plans for us. Typically, we spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my family and then head to Mike's family. Well, we attempted to drive to Wisconsin in the evening before Christmas Eve. As many of you know, there was a huge snow storm brewing and it was starting to get nasty outside around the time we were driving. We got about an hour from the cities and decided that it was stupid to be driving, so we turned around and headed home. We were having Christmas in Minnesota this year. Once home around 10pm, I headed to the grocery store to pick up a turkey to roast and other fixings so we could have a Christmas meal (I wasn't sure if we would be able to get out of our driveway the next morning). Well, on Christmas Eve the snow ceased for a while, so we headed to Kohl's to pick up a few gifts for Julia to open on Christmas morning from Santa (not that she would know the difference if we didn't have anything..but it mattered to me). We hadn't bought her anything knowing she would get lots of gifts from family. Below are some pictures of our Christmas #1 weekend...
Julia assisting with making Christmas dinner
Julia was tired after all her cooking...yes, she actually fell asleep in her high chair while eating (there is a biscuit in her hand)
Posing in her Christmas Eve attire...we were heading to church

A bunch of new toys and THIS is what Julia wanted to play with (she discovered it in the bathroom cupboard)
