Merry Christmas

After our early Christmas celebration with our Freeman Walker family, Boppa and Hamma arrived to help us celebrate the real enchilada. We went to our Christmas Eve service at church, swung by a friend's party, caroled at the village green, ate our traditional Swedish dinner, and enjoyed a quiet Christmas morning unwrapping gifts, assembling toys all day, watching movies, and enjoying another feast together. We feel SO blessed to spend our first Christmas at our new home with our families.

An early Christmas with my family

We enjoyed an early Christmas with my Mom, Tom, Sister and Nieces this weekend. The cousins wrapped themselves in crepe paper, we went on walks and strolled the beach, we went to church, had a Mexican fiesta and a pizza party, we celebrated Olivia's 10th birthday, and we opened gifts. Thanks so much for coming and helping us celebrate Christmas in our new home. We love you.

We spent a wonderful night in Green Bay with our favorite brothers, their favorite ladies, and the fabulous Susie B and Rick. A very special thank you to them for everything - the kids are already asking when we can come back!
