We had a great weekend leading up to Christmas complete with snowmobile parties, making reindeer food, (oats and glitter) Buffalo Prime Rib dinner with my parents and siblings, and the always fantastic Christmas Eve party at my Grandma and Grandpa's. If you have ever wondered why most Erickson's aren't thin, you should try the food at these shindigs. WOW!
The weather was horrid on our way home. We broke trail around Palisades Lake and only when we got to Swan Valley did things get a little better. It was possibly crazy to keep going but Santa didn't know we were in Wyoming so we had to continue. :) It had REALLY snowed at home. There were several inches everywhere. We found 3 plates of neighbor treats under the snow. We had to shovel off the porch to get everything in. Thankfully our nice neighbor had plowed our driveway. Nice neighbors are great! Our next door neighbor Kim had even taken our UPS packages out of the snow and gave them to Mark when we got home. (around midnight)
Thankfully Santa made it to our house and I think everyone was excited with his gifts. The girls got American Girl dolls and they were so fun. They shrieked with excitement and that made me really happy. Ryan was thrilled with his remote control helicopter, and Zachy liked his Little People Pirate Ship. He only wanted to open 2 presents, period. He finally opened the rest at 4:00 pm. He was funny. It was overall a great Christmas and I think the kids were thrilled. That's what it's all about.
Mark's big 33rd birthday was the 26th. The poor guy had to work but we had pie and ice cream with Betsy and Jonah when he got home.
My cute nephew Adam turned 2 yesterday. Happy birthday Adam, we love you!
