Christmas Day at Nanna's

Christmas morning we woke up bright and early, came downstairs and checked that Santa had come and eaten his milk and cookies. Sure enough, we had been here. We did stocking and presents from Santa here at home, had a quick breakfast and packed up to head for Nanna's house (Jason's mom) for Christmas Day. We had a great time visiting with Jason's sister, Lindsey, and his brother Brad and Brad's wife, Mary (my brother and sister in law). It was a fun morning of watching the snow, opening presents, visiting, and spending time as a family. Here are some pictures at Nanna's house:

Later that evening, we went over to Uncle Bob and Aunt Kathy's house for Christmas dinner. It was great to visit with everyone and Uncle Brad and Aunt Mary surprised us with the exciting news that they are pregnant!!!! Everyone is thrilled for them...they will be wonderful parents!

Luckily, Jason had his trusty camera to capture the reaction of the parents to be telling the family and the grandparents to be hearing the news:

Brad & Mary (the parents to be) just before telling everyone...

This holiday season was full of many blessings. We are thankful for each other, our family, friends and good health. 2009 is sure to be wonderful!
