Christmas!

Wow! What a week we had! Christmas started for us on the 20th, with a celebration with the Stanton and Spivak clans. Here's the fam posing!


 Enjoying a great dinner...

Rowan in his (one of many) cute outfit...


 We headed to Walker on the 22nd (delayed a day due to weather) and continued to celebrate. We had Christmas with my dad and Lori on the 23rd...Rowan ignored most of his great gifts and wanted to play with all of Grandpa's decorations!

Christmas Day is always at Mikes with the Nelson clan...growing bigger every year as many of my cousins are getting married and adding babies to the mix also!  We now only enjoy this celebration every other year since we take turns spending the holiday with my family, then Jeff's. So on the years we do get to be there we make the most of it!
Annual Pinata...this started when all of us were little, but now no one dives for the candy!
A cute new batch of babies in the family!
The cousin picture! An annual shot of all the cousins, now with spouses and babies!
Christmas breakfast!

Annual Spoons game...
Don't be alarmed, this sort of behavior is normal...


Posing with Kelly and Ruby...
The day we left, Rowan got to go to the cafe for a pancake with Grandpa and Ian for the first time. Ian has been having pancakes with grandpa since he was a little guy!

Glad to see that my family isn't the only one that wrestles over "Spoons". It's a dangerous game!! :) Merry Christmas! Glad you all had a great time celebrating!! :)
