Christmas 2013 - #4 & #5

Later Christmas Day we headed over to Donna & Emil's house for a big party with Matt's extended family.  This was the first Christmas in their new house and it was so festive and fun!  The fireplace was roaring, the decorations were lovely and the house was full of people we love.  
Even though the dress was casual, Claire wanted to wear her party dress again:)



Sledding with all the kids

Aunt Diane took care of Claire so the three of us could all go out.   They were watching the action from the window.


River and Lennon were trying to snowboard on the sleds!

It was great seeing Grammy, and she still loves to hold Claire.  

Lila is adorable and has the cutest, softest little voice.


Cousins!


The white elephant gift exchange is always a hoot.  Matt "won" toilet paper and I got a banana bread baking mix.   Look at Luke sitting there so nicely.  

Such a cozy sight!  Not pictured, but we ended the night breaking in the new bar downstairs, where bartender Ben served up the best drinks in town and the kids played with the tons of old toys down there.  


I had to work on the 26th but that night we celebrated Christmas our 5th and final time by exchanging gifts with just Matt's immediate family.  What a wonderful finale to a wonderful Christmas!
