Christmas Round 3

We started our official Christmas on Christmas Eve by going to 5:15 church.  Calvin was still not feeling well, so he stayed home.  We got to church, and found out that Pat & Anita's (gas) oven wasn't working so Cal's brother was on his way over to our house to put in the turkey.  Then halfway thru church Pat got up and left!  Yikes.  Turns out there was a gas leak, the carbon monoxide detectors were going off, and our sister in law Nicole (who's 7 months pregnant) was home alone with 4 dogs!  Everyone is fine, but she went to the ER to get checked out and the turkey wasn't done until 9:00.  So, it was a Christmas Eve to remember!  The dinner was still wonderful, as was the brunch the next morning.  Pat just hooked up the oven in the camper and we used that!  We had a precious time all together and we got to talk to Cory also - he called on Saturday.  It was great to hear from him, and he sounded good. 

We all spent the night at Pat & Anita's, and Kailee came over on Christmas Day morning.  Santa came to their house, and the girls were excited to see what he brought. 

 Helping Angie and Adam open their baby's present - she's 5 months pregnant!  We're going to have a very busy 2011 as aunties and uncles!

 This is my favorite pose - she loves to color like this and I think it's so darn cute!

I'm also glad that besides learning about Santa and opening presents, Jocelyn did learn about Baby Jesus' birthday.  She thinks he was 6 on his birthday.  She started out saying he was 2, and then 10, but decided that since she and Kailee were those ages that he couldn't be those.
