Merry Christmas!

We celebrated Christmas Eve at Adam's parents house. Despite the blizzard, we made it there! The food, company, and presents were worth the drive. Also, the Heffelbowers are famous for their practical joke gifts. Adam gave his brother Scott a nicely wrapped box filled with 10 little cards that were "Good for one free hug." Adam later gave Scott his real present. Scott and Jeremy both brought little boxes of edible bugs. Juliet was so curious about them, and even licked one (video to follow soon). As a non-gag, but really great gift, Scott gave Jeremy an assortment of fancy cheeses. One cheese was $60 per pound! Some of the cheeses were good, but others smelled so terrible we could not eat them.

Today, we woke up in the morning with the blizzard continuing. After the kids opened the presents from their stockings, we put on our snow gear and made a wonderful snow-man! After Juliet's nap, we headed over to Great Grandpa Quenten's (aka Ahcoon's) house for another party. It was a wonderful Christmas.

There is just no room for a Christmas tree in our little house. So, Santa leaves presents in the Christmas stockings. These stockings were presents from great grandma and grandpa Frigo.

Homemade gingerbread cookies (which taste nothing like the store-bought kind).

Our radiator serves as a coat rack during the winter months. Everything gets so dry and toasty!
