We headed out on Friday with Brandon's sister so we could get to town in time for her baby shower that evening. We had a fun time celebrating the upcoming birth of a new niece or nephew and seeing the Brungardt's friends and family.
Saturday morning we got around leisurely, enjoyed a yummy breakfast, ran a few errands, prepped food for our Christmas Eve dinner, went to church, ate dinner with Brandon's grandma and uncle, and opened gifts. Pam and Craig definitely went above and beyond this year! I received a beautiful quilt that Pam quilted herself (once I receive pictures from her camera I will post them for everyone to see) and Brandon received a new GPS which will come in handy for road trips. Oh, and Koby got a cute stuffed duck that you can launch like a rubber band! It was a total hit!!
Sunday morning we got up and enjoyed yummy homemade cinnamon rolls and got around for the big Christmas celebration with Pam's family. I didn't count, but I would say we had roughly 30 people gathered together for the day. We ate great food (again), played games (Brandon and I were at a table playing Uno Rummy - whoa! It takes Rummy to a whole new level), opened gifts, and just enjoyed each other's company. I think I heard Pam say this was the first time all of her siblings and most of their kids had been together for Christmas in a long time. FUN!
After a few stops in GC yesterday, we made our way home. I always hate the after-Christmas crash. The build up all through December is so fun and then all of the sudden Christmas is just over. Now, it's time to take down the decorations and start the prep work for our house projects that are set to begin this week. We are both working this week and then we have one more Christmas celebration with the Bohn family this weekend so I suppose we still have a little Christmas to look forward to.
I hope your Christmas was filled with special memories!
