Merry Christmas

Okay here I go trying catch up yet again.  We celebrated Christmas at home this year.  And as much as we miss seeing all of our families it is nice to avoid all the stress that goes with travelling around the holidays.  Wyatt was really into Christmas this year and that made it even more fun for Mama and Papa.  He was interested in Santa and we talked about him quite a bit but every time I said something about Santa bringing presents Wyatt would look at the tree and say "But I already have enough presents". I loved hearing that.  Santa can't compete with the Grandma's with the gift giving :)

Heading out to look for a tree.

The big problem with cutting a black spruce for a Christmas tree is that you end up cutting down a 20 ft tree to get the top 6ft.  They are pretty thin. We will plant another one to make up for it!

I didn't get too many pictures of the gift opening, it was all kind of a blur.

The boys would really like to thank everyone for all the great boxes they sent!!

Christmas day we had a bunch of our Alaska family over for a wonderful celebration. We cooked our homegrown turkey and everyone brought a dish to share. It is so nice to have such good friends to share the holidays with when are families are so far away.
