On Christmas Eve we went to Mass at 4:30, then out to dinner at Applebee's - it was great! We were home by 7, fed Santa's reindeer (picture below), put cookies out for Santa, and in bed by 8! I think that will be our tradition from now on!
Christmas Morning
My parents made the 11-hour drive from Washington to be with us in time for Christmas dinner. We had prime rib (thanks M & D) - it was my first time cooking one and I have to say that it was fantastic!
Gracie trying out her new digital camera on Emmett in his prized new football uniform.
This is how he came upstairs the morning after Christmas.
The semi-frozen falls of Great Falls
At Giant Springs State Park - it was COOOOLLLD!
Cooking hot dogs and trying to warm-up.
Sledding with Pa and Daddy. There are straw-bales in front of the many trees in this park. Thanks goodness because Emmett hit almost every one!
Not much snow, but the ground was so frozen that it was still great sledding and the kids had no problem pulling the sled up the hill.

Looks like a fun Christmas. Hopefully one of these years we'll all be able to spend it together!
(p.s. so happy that you updated your blog. I was forgetting was my nieces and nephew looked like ;)
HaHa! :-)
