Christmas 2009 (Part 1)

This year we got an amazing surprise...SNOW on Christmas! It started snowing before noon Christmas Eve, and continued until about 8:00 that night. It made a mess out of the roads, but it was beautiful. Mimi and Papa came over, and we braved the elements to go a little over a mile to dinner (a trip with took about 15 minutes). We originally planned to go look at Christmas lights after dinner, but needless to say that part of the evening was canceled. All and all we accumulated about 3-4 inches of snow. It was a surprise that I don't expect to see again. Christmas morning Lukas enjoyed opening presents from Santa and Mommy and Daddy. Gift wrapping and tissue paper went flying this year as Lukas tore into his gifts. After the excitement of opening presents had died down, we made breakfast and got ready to receive Mimi, Papa, 'Aunt' Nilde, and 'Uncle' Ed for Christmas dinner. For dinner we gathered together a spread of food that was simply delicious. After dinner we opened presents again, and we all came away with some great stuff.
