Christmas

Time to get get caught up! We left for Mom and Dad's with my Mom and Dad on Christmas Eve, drove our 9 hours to get to their home and spent the next week in their wonderland of snow! It snowed Christmas Day-all day, and more in the next few days after! A perfect Christmas morning! What more could you ask for than a snowy mountain range view for Christmas vacation? My sister, her husband and their two girls surprised us and came early to be with us on Christmas day! That was such a wonderful surprise! My littlest sister came on Christmas day and my older brother and his girlfriend came the next day.
There was a new toy that all the guys enjoyed immensely, the Wii (of course)! And their was after Christmas sales to see for us ladies! We played games, almost constantly and my Mom and Dad's six grand kids made themselves right at home and had a glorious time! Nana had found new dress up clothes at a garage sale since they were last there, including a wedding gown, and the girls went nuts!
And as for the aforementioned girlfriend...this is a new development in our family, Nick has never brought home anyone before! We are very excited and we wonder if he loves her yet because we've fallen head over heals for her! No pressure of course! She kicked our behinds in Nerts and in movie trivia, she cleans up, basically, you want to be on her team! Yes, she had us at "NERTS!"
Sledding was a must in all that powder! We had so much fun! Andrea ran into our truck after going down the hill and across the street, and I hit a bump, went flying in the air and landed flat on my back! If ouch is what you're thinking, you are right, and that was just the first trip down the hill! My Mom claims that there is video of this on her camera, if so, I will definitely post it for a laugh!
Above is our semi-annual Kemper Family photo. That's the whole gang!
