This year there was a lot of snow that was keeping us from getting up to my sister-in-laws place the day after Christmas, so we postponed the trip until the following day (Sunday). When we first got there we started unloading the car full of presents and placing them under the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the room just off the side of the living room.
The house was so cozy and warm where my husband's grandparents were waiting inside. There were many little simple decorations that made it feel like Christmas (such as the holly berry wreath hanging on the front door which I really like!)
And the table was all set with beautiful and tasty treats; scrapple meat, Strada's, muffins and fruit... cinnamon buns and fruit tarts.... yummm! The perfect Sunday brunch!
This is one of my favorite pictures during the meal... it looks like something out of a Dr. Seus book :)
Then it came time to open the gifts. My nephew had fun passing them out to everyone...
... and we had fun watching him.
My nephew loved the Tractor, Dump Truck and Tractor movie that his great-grandpa got him, and wanted to play with them the whole time we were opening gifts.
This year one of the big gifts I got Spencer were his Vibram Five Finger shoes which he has been loving! He wears them every chance he gets... even in the snow! They make pretty cool impressions in the snow... it looks like there's either someone running around without their shoes on, or Bigfoot is on the loose. I guess it's only a matter of time before he realizes this and decides to prank the elementary school kids (being that a school is right across the street from our house).
This is the great hat that my mom and dad got me for Christmas, and the tuque I got for Spencer as one of his stocking stuffers.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you readers out there, from our family to yours!
