We all travelled down to my moms house in Raymond this year for Christmas. We all had a great time. It was even almost relaxing. The kids were all very well behaved and bedtime was so easy each night. The kids decorated gingerbread houses with cousins and grandpa even took some of them tobaganning. Grandpa tied a big shoel to the back of his car and took them for rides in the field. eeekk!!!! Fondue on Chrstmas Eve was yummy, and so was Christmas dinner on Christmas day. The kids all got digital cameras and MP3 players, so they were all trilled. We travelled home on December 26th and were battling black ice for the first 4 hours of the drive. But we managed to make it home safe and sound. On the 27th in the morning we had our Christmas with Peggy. The kids got a gift from Peggy, and their gift from Chris and I and the gifts from eachother. They did a name draw kinda thing so they could buy one great gift for one sibling instead of a small not so great gift for each sibling. Chris and I got the 6 older kids new ice skates, Owen got a Max doll and a cranium game, Calliope got a toy that she can walk with and whe she is older it converts to a little car that she can ride. I forgot my camera, so the pictures aren't the best, but I figure it is better to have not as good pictures, then no pictures at all.

What a great trip for Christmas! The kids will have some great memories of being pulled behind Grandpa's truck.
