Wrapping Up Xmas

The long xmas break has come and gone and it's back to work. We had a great holiday and really enjoyed spending time with the families and getting these done in the kitchen.

In no particular order, we went to Angie's mom's house and made rosettes and I made more lefse; both were a success. I finished a total of three coats of mud on the kitchen drywall, hopefully the hard part is almost now that I (kind of) have the hang of it. We watched our favorite holiday movies, the Grinch and Christmas Vacation. We picked up some Nachos Navidad after we finished up some holiday shopping.

We spent Xmas Eve at my dad's house, where we had a nice spread of food and opened gifts. I received a bunch of great summer fishing tackle, a Wild calendar and some other nifty gifties. Xmas day was spent at Angie's mom's' house, where we do the traditional all-day xmas. We had a nice brunch in the morning with homemade muffins, cinnamon rolls, egg bake and quiche. After that, we opened presents and played some games before we ate dinner around 5pm. I was happy to get more ice fishing stuff, baby books, ear buds, a multi-tool, movies and gift cards to Panera. It's always fun to open presents one at a time and not just blow through everything.

I'm expecting a short, uneventful week here at work, followed by a quick Monday before the New Year's holiday. We're going over to Jeremy and Kelly's to hang out, eat appetizers and visit with their daughter Samantha.
