on the prairie

The Blomgren’s gathered 25 strong on Saturday, December 30 on the home farm. Kurt’s place is the perfect place to visit, watch games and cheer one another on in an exciting gift exchange. 

Present:

Mom, Kent, Eden, Kurt, Kyle, Kim, Cory, Joan, Karen, Brad, Vance, Adam, Erica, Kyle, Paige, Liana, Ryan, Summer, Thomas, Evan, Trenton, Anders, Ally, Katie, Osten and Luella. 

We played dominos, Scattergories and penny drop. We recited ‘Twas the Night before Christmas led by Mom and also ate oyster stew and cheesy chicken sandwiches along with salads and sweets. 

We gifted god children with a universal electrical cord. In the exchange, I got Pyrex with snap lids, Brad got snacks, Anders got leather mittens, Ally got a Stanley, Katie got a JBL speaker and Osten got a Vikings blanket. The mask was the very last gift to be chosen so #1 got to take it home to Iowa (Kent). 

After the gifts we watched the Timberwolves beat the Lakers on LeBrons birthday😎

There was an ice storm as we were gathering, Vance and Luella encountered some slippery roads, but the rest of us had a prettty uneventful drive. I got mom back to Brandt Ridge and then our family stayed at the St. James Super 8. 

I had a blast and am so happy Mom was able to celebrate with us!
