We hosted Christmas at our house for Dad and his wife Sandra. We had supper, the kids opened presents, and the kids played.
Christmas #2 - Our Family Christmas
Our traditions... the kids make a stuffed animal at Build A Bear. They open one present (pajamas) on our Christmas Eve (which is actually the 23rd). Then, we open gifts as a family on Christmas Eve morning.

Christmas #3 - Christmas at Grandma Kusch's
We drove up to Grandma's house on Christmas Eve. It was snowing and the roads were slick. The trip, which usually takes us 2 1/2 hours took us 5 hours. We were so relieved when we finally arrived. We celebrated Great Grandma Letsch's 84th birthday, opened our Christmas pajamas, and went to bed. Christmas morning we opened gifts.

Christmas #4 - Herman Christmas
Dave's sisters that live in Minnesota and Maryland came to Fort Wayne after Christmas. We spent several days together. The kids loved playing with their cousins.
Dave's Dad made this for us!
