Christmas Cheer

We had our annual get together with a group of people I work with and all of their families. Santa arrived and delivered gifts to 18 kids. It is always so much fun watching the kids' faces light up and share their Christmas wishes with Santa and his helper!



We went to church on Christmas eve and all of the cousins and Sunday School kids sang, "Go Tell it on the Mountain." Then we started back up a Heimbigner tradition of going out to dinner on Christmas eve. It has been 8 years (we took a break when all of the kids were little) and it was so fun starting back up with dinner at the Onion. After that we went to grandma and grandpa's house for treats, presents and so much excitement with the kids!




Christmas morning brought some good family and play time, followed by an afternoon with the Liezen side of the family and then a delicious Christmas meal at Aunt Liz and Uncle Craig's house. Uncle Hans was a hit with his "hat store" and coupons for the kids to pick a hat. Andrew said, "Are these hats really for free?" So cute!




Following the holidays, we are really trying to take time to give thanks for all we have and the heaps of blessings we receive everyday from the people in our lives. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
