Christmas for the Abrahamsons went well. It is our favorite time of the year. Celebrating the birth of our Savior. We find celebrating with many decorations, lots of lights, family, many treats, foods, and gifts the best way to show our joy.

Alesha was home and the days leading up were full of cookie and candy making. One night we even made "rice crispy" treat houses and everyone decorated them. We watched lots of Christmas movies and wrapped lots of gifts. Our normal routine was changed as the Morgans spent Christmas eve in Morton celebrating Jesse's dads 60th birthday.

The rest of us had a nice turkey dinner with a few new dishes. it was weird to not have Tressa and Jesse there.

The next morning we did Santa Claus, had breakfast and opened gifts. By this time some of the kids where tired and back down for naps. So they opened their gifts later. It was a nice day. Just really different from years in the past. We added a ham to our Turkey left overs and had a nice feast with everyone

We tired to do some family pics' but, the kids were not very cooperative. And things really went south went Santa clause made an appearance.

The next day Jesse and Peyton headed back out to Morton. We did alittle shopping not much. Tressa was sick. Which was the theme for our Post Christmas week. Seems like some one was always not feeling good. Jesse ended up with strep throat. Bray and Peyton had runny noses and didn't seem to be feeling very well by New Year

Our New Years Party went pretty well considering everyone's health. Doug and I even made it to 12am and celebrated with the kids. Erica and Nate got really tired and headed out around 9:30pm. Which is pretty late for them.

We had a Mexican feast. And candy, dips and chips and pop for the evening. Kids played Wii- fit and twister and then other group games.

Doug and I watched "Wild Hogs" then we realized the New Year almost upon us. We had only mins. to grab classes, sparkling cider and try to prepare for a toast. Spencer's brother Austin suggested we pause the TV when it looked like we weren't going to make it. Something just didn't seem right with that picture. We did clang our glasses at midnight. Just in time!!!
We wish everyone a great 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
