After some time in Albert Lea, we headed up to Burnsville to visit with Grandpa and Grandma Leibrock, Aunt Grace, Unco Matty, and Aunt Jessie. Adam enjoyed digging through Grandma's tupperware drawer, trying to play with Birdie (the yellow lab who LOVES Adam, but gets a little too excited to safely play), exploring new toys, laughing a lot with his aunts and uncle, and attending the church where Mama and Daddy got married. He had a great time in the nursery while we enjoyed service, and even "made" a paper angel on Christmas Eve (with quite a bit of help by the nursery volunteer).
Here is Grandpa and Grandma's Christmas tree with lots of presents from Santa.
In case you hadn't heard, my parents recently purchased a cabin up on Lake of the Woods, Canada (they close on Thursday, Jan. 14!) This has been my dad's dream for years. So, Phil and I knew exactly what to get him for Christmas - Crap for the Cabin! He was so happy with his basket of games and edible treats to enjoy up north.
Another great gift: Matty got a framed photo of Favre, in purple, beating the Packers. Beautiful.
Adam LOVED the rings he got from Grandpa!
He carries them around with him everywhere now. I attach them to his stroller when we go out.
This is just too funny.
Adam had so much fun playing with Grandma Ann! What a great ride!
We had our Christmas Day dinner at Aunt Bethy and Unco Bob's house. So wonderful! This year, an added bit of fun. Each person had a cracker at their place to pop open after eating. Each one had a lame joke, a prize, and a paper crown. The rule was - you HAVE to put on your crown after you open your cracker! Here are some cousins proudly sporting their crowns.
On our way home from MN, we stopped to let Adam play at a McDonald's play yard. I was, of course, freaking out about the germs, but he seriously needed some time to get his wiggles out! He had so much fun crawling around with Daddy and even met some new friends.
What a lucky boy - THREE Christmases!!!
