Christmas in MN

Here is the story of our Christmas in MN....Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was opening presets...even the cats got a mouse! We arrived in MN on a snowy night on Wed the 23rd. It was great to see family again and be in beautiful Minnesota. We stayed our first two nights in Zimmerman, MN (about an hour north west of Minneapolis) with Eric's family. On Christmas Eve we did a little sledding, a little wii playing, and a lot of eating. We had a great time sledding with Eric's sister Rachel and catching up with the rest of the fam.

After going to a Christmas Eve Candle Light service we had a delicious halibut dinner and then started opening presents!



We did take a break in between to eat dessert...Rice pudding, YUM! I think it was the best rice pudding Eric has ever made. It was SO good! After opening presents we went to bed and woke up the next morning with more snow on the ground. I think we got about a foot and a half between the time we landed in MN and Christmas morning. After a quick breakfast Eric and I headed to Stillwater, MN to see my parents. It took Eric three times to get down his mom's driveway there was so much snow on it. After a long and slow drive to Stillwater we opened more presents with my family. My parents tree is always very beautiful and I hope someday that mine will also be that pretty!


After opening our gifts, we had a relaxing afternoon reading, playing cribbage, and sleeping. Thus ends our first three days in MN.
