A Knick Christmas

We started the morning off, with presents. It was the first Christmas we had Amber with us,(not to mention the first for Nathan and Amber, as a married couple!) so it was fun to have her celebrate with us!

Kevin trying to guess what his present was....

Jaxon and Jonah passed out all of our gifts

Hayden opening his favorite present from Grandma J....his own Star Wars sword!

Jonah opening his drum set

And Jaxon got Indiana Jones Lego's!
They got lots of other great stuff too, from Grandma and Grandpa, Nathan and Amber, and Brittney!

We draw names, for the adults, and this year Jeremy drew his dad. So this is Kevin, reading his card (really a book), from Jeremy.

Kevin made us an incredible turkey, for dinner, along with lots of other yummy food. This turkey was done to perfection, and it tasted even better! I don't know if I've had a moister turkey, ever! Grandma Ruby even made our favorite dessert, RMH!

Aunt Bert had the a great idea, for the boys, in the afternoon....Gingerbread houses! Brittney and Nathan helped the boys make their own houses, and the boys had a blast!

All done......

Jaxon's finish product, he did his all by himself!

Nathan and Jonah's finish project (with Hayden trying to get into this pic)

Hayden and Aunt Berts finished product! (And Britt did most of it, of course!)

Christmas with the Rogness's

Christmas Eve we got to Grandma and Grandpa's for supper, and Great-Grandpa Vold, joined us!

My Dad got some great pics of Jon's family. Here is Morghan, he is 6 months old, and the happiest baby, I have ever seen! He is just so smiley and cuddly, I could have held him all day!

My bro's family: Joanna, Angi, Morgan, Jon, and Matti

Morghan and I, can you get a cuter baby??

Jeremy got the book he's been wanting, plus other things.

I got a much needed, apron, and lots of other things! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Grandma got a snuggie, from Joanna!

All the grandkids together, and almost all smiling!! Pretty good, since we got Morghan to smile!

Christmas Eve

We were actually home on Christmas Eve, which is so rare for us. For the last few years, we have been with my Mom and Dad on Christmas Eve, and the Knick's on Christmas Day, but it was different this year. We got to spend most of the day just relaxing together as a family, then got packed, and to Fergus, before the "big storm" hit! ( I say 'big storm", cause it was suppose to be the biggest storm in a decade, and it wasn't all that bad, not that I would have wanted to go out driving in it!)
These pictures of the boys, are some of my favorites, of the whole weekend! They were taken right before we opened presents (at 7am, of course!).

To explain what Jonah has on his head.... Jeremy got a blanket for Christmas, from one of his kids at school, and he tied it on Jonah's head the night before. They played karate, the rest of the night, and then he slept with it on!

Opening presents....
