Christmas was pretty perfect! As most of you know my Mom & Keith have already flown south for the winter and had a great Christmas in Ft. Myers, and per my previous post, after their visit to Chicago, The Hall's also headed south for some warmer weather! So, I braved the freezing rain and snow with Jason and we headed to Grand Rapids, MI to spend the holiday's with his family!
Christmas Eve was filled with a candlelit church service followed by a wonderful home cooked meal courtesy of Nancy Kingma (Fillet Mignon, with asparagus, twice baked potatoes, and salad) it was delicious! We opened our stockings and then dove into the present portion of the evening! Santa was very good to us this year, we are very blessed and so thankful! After gifts, we had dessert and hit the hay!
Christmas breakfast was amazing, dutch babies, with oatmeal, grapefruit, and all the berries I could eat! The rest of Jason's family came over for the afternoon and we continued to eat , drink, and have fellowship! (I helped make the dessert above, we called it the Christmas surprise!) We played a gift game, and also did a couple rounds of Catch phrase! Jason's grandmother was cracking me up! What a great afternoon spent with family:) I am now obsessed with the game Apples to Apples, we played so many rounds that night!
Over the holiday we were able to see so many close friends that we do not get to see often enough so that was really special as well! There are a lot of exciting things happening for everyone and we're just glad we were able to be a part of them! Family and friends are everything to us and we love you all so much!
I hope everyone had a very happy holiday as well, and I hope the new year brings you peace and happiness as well!
