Pre-Christmas Day celebrations

So leading up to December 25th we had many Christmas celebrations. The Saturday before Christmas is always "Christmas in Osakis." This is with my dad's side of the family. Above is Ella opening some of her 1st Christmas gifts with Auntie Dua. Both kids had a fun time with family there and were such troopers driving 2 hours there and back! On Christmas Eve we had dinner with Marshall's mom, George and Chelsea. George's parents and brother Mike, his wife Ali and daughter Maddy were also there. Caleb had fun playing with "the girls"..Chelsea and Maddy. There were several dogs there and Ella loved them! I didn't have my camera so no pictures. :( Also on Christmas Eve we opened gifts from Marshall's dad and stepmom, who sent packages from North Dakota. With all the stuff going on in December we didn't have a chance to meet up with them. Caleb was so funny opening these presents. Every one was "I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THIS!" He was just SO excited. Some of the highlights were LeapFrog Zippity (it hooks to the TV and it's kind of like a video game) and a tent! Ella did ok opening gifts but quickly lost interest and wanted whatever her brother had!
