Christmas up North.

Look at all of these presents!
Nathan, Santa and Amber...Nathan wasn't too sure about this guy.

Not sure who is the happiest person in this picture. Nathan might be since Grandpa kept giving Nathan the ice cubes from his Manhattan.


Nothing better.

Our final Christmas stop was at my parents house in Wisconsin. We drove through snow, but Joel did a great job in some bad conditions! Once we got there we were able to relax and enjoy eating and drinking once again. Nathan finally got to experience the snow of Northern Wisconsin. If you didn't know, Nathan loves cold, dreary weather. He would stay outside longer than me in the winter! I don't know what I'm going to do about this.... But we did have a great time playing in the snow. We had snowball fights, went sledding, and made race tracks in the snow. Grandma had hot chocolate waiting for us when we came back inside. Needless to say, Nathan thought it was great! Meanwhile, Eli was able to enjoy time smiling and laughing with Grandma and Grandpa. I'm sure next year he'll be out there roughing up his brother.
