"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Final Christmas Celebration

We had our final Christmas celebration with Erik's immediate family on the Wednesday after Christmas.  I guess I also forgot to post that we celebrated Christmas with his mom's side of the family the weekend before Christmas in Dows.  I don't have any pictures from that Christmas, but we headed to his Grandparents house in the morning and arrived just in time for lunch.  We had a wonderful lunch and then the kids played for a while after lunch and then they took a nap.  The younger kids opened some presents, and then when Kyler and Norah woke up they joined in the fun.  Instead of doing a gift exchange with the adults, we each brought a $10 gift card to a place of our choice, plus an "under $5" grab bag type gift.  The adults then played BINGO and could win 1 gift card and up to 3 other grab bag gifts (depending on how many times you won BINGO) :).  This was a different way to do it, but got kind of long after a while.  After BINGO was over, we had a quick bite to eat and then headed home.

Okay, back to Christmas at Erik's parent's house now. :)  We went over there on Wednesday evening and had dinner with Erik's immediate family.  After dinner we opened presents and then hung out for a while.  Here are some pictures from our final Christmas celebration:

Almost there!
