Christmas and New Years

Christmas was great. We spent it mostly with my family this year, even though I don't have pictures to prove it. But we did the traditional Christmas Eve shindig, opened all our presents and had our yummy Danish dinner. Everyone pitched in and it turned out delicious! Since my family did our stuff on Christmas Eve, we were able to go to Jon's parents house for Christmas morning after we had our own Christmas. We then met at my dad's for our Christmas lunch. Then both of our families decided to go see "Marley and Me". Which was super cute.

Since this year was with my family, the Evertsen's did their family stuff the day before Christmas Eve, or as Jon would say, Christmas Adam, since adam came before Eve and all :) We made Gingerbread houses, and mine and Delectas was the best, it may have looked the most like the cover of the box, but it was still the prettiest. Until it was so rudely smashed by James.

New Years Eve was fun. We spent some time at my bro in law, James' house. Then we went and watched the fire works up on the Dixie hill. We found our own secluded spot and enjoyed the view from the back of our truck with lots of blankets and hot chocolate.

The day after New Years we went to my sister Stephanie's house and played some games, including the marshmallow game. The guys went first and had to put 10 marshmellows in their mouth and say a saying, while we guessed. Then the girls went with 7 marshmellows. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, tears were streaming down my face. Hilarious

The flash was really bright, so we decided that not looking at the camera would

turn out better than a picture with closed eyes. haha

Perfect example of the bright flash. Jon in the back of the truck, waiting for the fireworks.

Adam attempting to talk to Stephanie, but he was laughing to hard it wasn't working.

Needless to say, it was near impossible to decifer the word they were trying to say

We only had 7 marshmellows. Notice all of us have stuffed mouths but yet still have marshmellows in our hands. haha
