Christmas with the families

It's a blessing that we are able to spend Christmas with both of our entire families and let the girls experience the fun included in all of the wonderful traditions. This year, like every year past, we started with a family photo in front of Grandma Sheri's tree.
After a lengthy church service, where the girls did amazingly well, we had dinner with Grandma Jan, Papa, and Uncles Ben and Jon. Then it was time for the highlight for the girls....PRESENTS!
They adore this new princess castle and when Papa started playing with Sidney's new Elmo puppet from the outside, they were beside themselves in giggles!
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast prepared by Papa, we head to Grandma Sheri and Pandpa Arnie's house along with Uncle Shane for the next round of PRESENTS!
Daddy had a wonderful time showing Regan how to walk our new family pet.
(don't tell Regan though....he's not a real dog!).
We take a quick break/nap and then headed out to the Ahlness' for time with family and playing with cousins. Thankfully, all 3 Ahlness girls enjoy playing barbies (in this case: Tangled) with Regan. She loves the extra attention.
Sidney took 3 bites of lefse and then realized "this taco doesn't taste good".
With only a 2 month difference between these two year olds, there's a lot of terrible twos right now!
And finally, wrap it up with a nice family picture with the Friederich's!
WE HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!
