Christmas Vacation Days Nine through Eleven: Christmas Celebration #3

On Saturday friends of ours who were in town for their family's Christmas celebration came over for a visit. Jared is Dana's longtime friend and was best man in our wedding. It was good to see him and his family and catch up. The kids had fun together as their son is Clara's age and now her 'best friend,' she told me. :-)


Brynn realized I was taking pictures and bolted.





That night we made our way to Fergus to celebrate Uncle John's 40th birthday at Union Pizza.




We didn't waste much time opening gifts once we got to Grandpa and Grandma's.












Grandpa and Grandma had put together a scavenger hunt for the next morning which led each of the girls back to Grandpa who had an extra gift for them.







Clara did her hunt first and Brynn was surprised at the prize at the end. The girls will have some spending money for the new year!


Brynn did hers next which involved more clues.





Then Brynn held her pajama church service for us. Her sermon topic was anxiety. Clara was assistant pastor and they also sang some songs for us.


Then they had to try out the new make-up set Clara got from Auntie and Uncle.




Next up was a spa day!



We played a rousing game of spoons last night. John, Christel, Dana and I were the ones to make it to midnight.



We've just been relaxing at home today after we got back around 12:30. Brynn dug into her big Lego set and has been working diligently on that.




The girls and Dana have one more day of vacation left tomorrow!

Good to see Jared and fam. Happy bday to John! Brynn's lego set looks awesome! I will have to show Benjamin the nerf gun Uncle Dana got. Ben was already planning to bring his to your house to duel it out with him. Baha, their church service sounds fantastic, wish I could have been in attendance! Happy New Year, Froems!
