Christmas 2009 - Pt 1

The Sunday before Christmas. Here are the kids all dressed up.

We left late Christmas Eve and traveled three hours and spent the night in Kirksville. The next day we got up and headed out. It was a difficult driving day for Jonathan. Very snowy and slippery roads. It took us quite a while to make it to my brother's house in Minnesota. At some points in Iowa we could barely see. There were parts where the fog and the blowing snow made road visibility difficult. Mom and dad also had a rough drive, so we ended up having Christmas the day after Christmas.
My brother Jimmy and sister-in-law Amie announced a new addition to the family! Amie is due June 11th. They sneaked an extra stocking on the fireplace with "Baby Fry" on it. It was a fun way to announce it! Also, they amazingly kept the secret from us for 16 weeks so they could tell us in person!
We each got a moose ornament to commemorate our Christmas in MN.
Jonathan is modeling Haven's new necklace.


My nephew Colten with Levi and Amie.
My nephew Cullen with Haven. She is looking so thrilled.
My sister-in-law Sheryl was thrilled with a gift.
My older brother Eugene. We were grateful he came up to the cold weather (he likes living in Florida). He didn't complain a bit :o) He was stationed in North Dakota for 14 years, so he is no stranger to the cold.
We ended up matching.

Dad bought all the boys little remote control helicopters. They played with them all week long.
Levi was still a little young for opening presents. He loved the paper though. Nice drool. He is always spitting or drooling.

Cullen made this shirt for Haven. She is putting on her new cowboy boots.

We were modeling Haven's hair bows.
