Christmas

We woke to a winter wonderland on Christmas morning. We got so much snow that church was canceled and the few times we did venture out (to Grandma and Grandpa Scott's house in the afternoon and Old Grandma's house in the evening), it was dicey on the roads. (Thank goodness for 4-wheel drive.)

The girls' Christmas piles. Rebekah had asked for a music stand so she can practice her trombone in her room. Analee had asked for a wheelchair for her 18" doll. Miriam got a singing Elsa and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajamas pants. Winnie got a singing Anna and Disney Princess pajama pants.

Peach got a bunny chew toy that she decapitated within weeks.

Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis came over later in the morning with presents for the girls.

Bekah opening her present from Grandma and Grandpa.

Seth with Old Grandma's bird at her house for Christmas dinner.

Miriam felt a little under the weather, so she spent most of the evening on Old Grandma's couch with the pile of coats.

The spread and guests at dinner: Lakota, Chelsy, Melissa and Uncle Doug; Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis; Old Grandma and our Grover family. Aunt Rachel's family came later to visit.

Seth helped the older girls get a chance to have the bird on their shoulders. Old Grandma and Seth watch as Bekah tries to transfer the bird from her shoulder to Analee's.

The bird eventually made it over.

All the girls love the chance to snuggle Roscoe.

Old Grandma and her bird. We were so grateful to have this big family dinner together especially since Old Grandma passed away 5 days later.
