Christmas in the Woods

Last weekend we went up north to Irons to have our Christmas celebration at Dad and Deb's house. All the kids were there and all the grandkids too. We went up on Saturday early afternoon and enjoyed the time before everyone arrived and the house was full. We went for a little walk while Kole napped, played with Jersey in the snow and both Seth and I went hunting (naturally, we saw nothing). We had a big dinner and then presents galore! The little kids were so excited to finally open the gifts!! Kole had a hard time staying awake; we had to put him down to bed, he was so tired!! We opened all of our gifts and we were all so tired after that!! More relaxing by the tree then off to bed for a sleepless night because Kole had a hard time staying asleep and being quiet. Morning came a little too early but we had a yummy breakfast of waffles (Dad's "special" recipe). We packed our car AND Rachel and Matt's car because we ran out of room. We left mid morning and Kole and I slept the whole way home :) Here are a couple of pics courtesy of Rachel.
