My Favorite Time of Year...Christmas!

The best time of year!!! Christmas!!! It always seems to come and go so quickly. Our holidays were filled with family, friends, and fun!

We started off our holiday season with Eric's family hosting the Chap Family Christmas. The Chap Christmas came with plenty of food, fun games, and even a surprise visit from Santa!

The Chap sisters even got to sit on Santa's lap this year!

On Christmas Day, we celebrated with Eric's family at our house. We came up with a new idea this year for presents....we each picked a theme and then drew what theme our presents would be. The theme this year was hunting/camo. It was really fun to see the ideas that people came up with. I got some beautiful pillars for candles and a picture.

The kids had fun running around in our basement for the afternoon. They also enjoyed all of the new snow we had gotten the night before!
Here is a picture of the Chap crew taking a break after getting everything set up for the Chap Christmas.

On Christmas Eve we celebrated Christmas with the Remme's. We made the adventure to Faribault of Wednesday night. It made for an interesting drive as the snow began to fall! We woke up Thursday morning to about 8 inches of snow in my parents driveway. That 8 inches added to the foot they already had. It is the most snow I have ever seen!

Eric and I brought the dogs with us to my parents. We spent some time playing with them in the snow.

We enjoyed having plenty of time to hang out with each other, play games, and kiss Carter:)

His little smirk!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We certainly did!

Happy New Year's everyone! On to 2010!
