We had a wonderful Christmas this year! We went to church on Christmas Eve, opened gifts at home Christmas morning, went to Grandma and Grandpa R's on Christmas Day, and then over to Grandma and Grandpa L's the day after. We are truly blessed to have such a loving family to share our holiday memories with. One look at Emma's happy face over the past three days has made all the stress and busy-ness of the holidays well worth it!

Christmas with the Ristaus
We spent Christmas Day with Grandma and Grandpa Ristau and Auntie Mal. We started the day with our traditional strata, opened gifts, then had prime rib for dinner. We relaxed by the fire and had a nice day together.

Emma wasn't really into opening her gifts herself this year although she did enjoy taking the bows off!
Christmas at the Lieberg's
We spent the day after Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Lieberg and Great Gram. We had a delicious turkey lunch and pizza for dinner. Grandpa Lieberg took many more pictures which we will post soon. We had a nice, relaxing day and Emma got some more toys to play with.

We can't believe Emma is already a year and a half old. The time has flown by.
