Christmas Day

Christmas Day.... I was nervous that the weather was going to stop my mom and dad from being able to make it to MN... but, thankfully, they made it!!! It was such a great day~ Ronan had so much fun opening his stocking, presents from Santa and hanging out with mom and dad. I was SO happy we got to be together on Christmas! Kris and I made our first Christmas dinner and I have to say~ we did fairly well... trying to decide what temp to cook everything all at once was a bit of a challenge- but hey, we didn't have to eat bowls of cereal- so it was a success! Thanks Mom and Dad for coming, and for the great Christmas Day...

I have to say the best present this year was one that Ronan made (1st picture)

He had worked for about a week on a drawing that he then wrapped up and put under the tree for 2 weeks until Christmas Day. It totally brought tears to my eyes... so cute...

The last picture is a shot of an early wedding present. Trista passed on an entire set of China that had been in the family to us! I love it... both Kris and I agreed... it's brought us up to a much fancier level in our dining room! ha hahaa. Thank-you Trista!
