Merry Christmas!
Friday afternoon we started our little Christmas celebration with just us four at home.
There were many rounds of the game, Spot It, played...
After Clara woke from her nap, we got dressed and opened our gifts to one another. We ate supper and then went to the early Christmas eve service at Hope. It was such an awesome service; I'm glad we were able to go. We headed out for Fergus Falls right from church.
We took some pics again before we left for church in Fergus on Saturday...
We opened gifts after we got back from church and while we waited for dinner to finish cooking.
Christel and John got Brynn a microscope...and this awesomely-cute lab coat to go with it. Christel and Brynn got to setting it up right away, looking at different specimen slides. It even came with blank slides to make your own. I think they did a plant leaf and salt as a couple new ones.
Clara headed off to bed, so Brynn put out cookies and a note for Santa by herself.
After watching 'The Polar Express' movie on Thursday night, Brynn really wanted a bell from Santa's sleigh, just like in the movie.
She got it! It was actually a commemorative bell that played Tom Hanks' voice with the last couple of lines from the movie. Here is video of her finding it in her stocking: Bell Video
Grandma made Christmas tree waffles!
Always crafting. Brynn made a "Dad Rocks" banner this morning.
Dana and I headed back home this morning. We were planning to stay until the afternoon, but with the nasty weather forecast, we figured we should head out if we wanted to make it back today. The girls stayed at Grandpa and Grandma's and will come back on Tuesday.
