Christmas Eve was so fun this year, full of friends and activities! When we live so far away from family, it is great to have friends to fill the void! To start the day off we had some good friends over for brunch. Yummy food, sledding for the kids, and lots of great conversation.
After that, Jared took Joshua (Nathan wasn't feeling well) cross country skiing. The only problem was Josh took 2 left handed gloves, so since he couldn't hold the poles, they skied pole-less!
We had some other families over for appetizers and fun! We also did a White-elephant gift exchange, which was the hit of the party. We had decided before hand, that for the men's gift, we would wrap something they really liked, hoping for good reactions. We were literally laughing so hard when those were opened...Brian's ski hat, Jared and Todd's ties, and Marriner's hat collection. Then men were shocked and somewhat disappointed that their wives would give away their prized possessions. But no worries, we gave it all back at the end!
We ended the night with Christmas Jammies, from Grandma Swenson, as is tradition!
