farm Christmas

Today we celebrated Christmas at the farm with the Blomgren clan. Stuart and Kesleigh joined us on FaceTime during the gift exchange. Ross' star was looking down on us and we got to hear Dad's voice on a recording that he and Mom made several years ago with the Twas the Night Before Christmas book.

Kurt was the proud new owner of the mask:

Osten got a new Vikings sweatshirt, Katie got a book from the Cinder series, Anders got $20, I got the gift I brought (an apron, cookie cutters, sponge and egg timer) and Brad got a box of tools. We all received money from Grandma B and will use for either college funds or for other projects around the house. 

There was quite a houseful at the farm.Grandma B-- Kent, Anna and Abby--Kurt, Vance and Kaitie--Kyle, Kim, Kyle, Adam, Keyanna, Liana and Ryan--Cory, Joan, Thomas, Evan and Trenton--Karen, Brad, Anders, Katie and Osten. We ate two meals and snacked most of the day. It was a fun and entertaining day with family.
