Christmas Day 2016

Christmas Day had arrived!  We had a wonderful day together, and enjoyed singing beautiful Christmas songs together at church on Christmas Sunday.  The kids opened their stockings and the family gift (which was a mystery trip of their choosing), and we had batch 1 of sticky buns, before church.  When we got home from church, the kids promptly changed back into their pajamas for the rest of the day.  We opened presents, played with toys, ate lots more, and generally just had a fabulous day.  The big question of the day was WHERE the kids would choose to go for their Mystery Trip!  After weighing different options (the beach in Puerto Rico was a front runner), they decided that they wanted to find snow and winter!  So we packed our bags with the very limited selection of warm clothes that we own, and set our alarms for an early flight to Minnesota the next morning.  Surprise Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Carlson!!
