Day 45: Family Christmas!

Only 3 days late we had our whole family Christmas!  Tanya and Garrett came into town with the kids and went straight to Kristen's house.  As always we had a ton of yummy food.  My family really loves casseroles, I think it's a midwest?Minnesota thing.  I made a Chicken Tortilla Casserole that I must say was kind of a hit.  Mom made a cheesy, noodle, chicken casserole from scratch with no recipe and it was so good! Go Mom! And Kristen made Goulosh....which is not my favorite but hers was pretty good and not dry and Micah really loves it.  (: I love you Kristen.

It was the cutest thing to see the kids together, especially now that Micah can walk.  The cousins had a great time playing together, it's so crazy to see this start of a new generation.  I love them so so much.  It was awesome watching them open their presents; Brayden and Ava are so polite and loved their gifts.  My Walkie Talkies were a hit (I was full of hits that night).  What a wonderful time, what a wonderful family. 

The best part was that I didn't have to say goodbye to the kiddos because they are staying at Mom and Dad's house too. Ava and I played Spies and I got to read the kids a bedtime story.  Then us adults stayed up and had some fun conversation, cocktails, and dessert galore.
