Christmas 2010

When it comes to Christmas traditions, I am one to throw a very grown up tantrum if anyone suggests changing things up.  But things are changing for us.  Next year, there will be a little baby, my brothers are bringing new women around, and at the Simpsons, the number of little kids practically doubles each year.  So this year it was extra important to keep the old traditions around

The shoes went under the tree for St. Nick to fill with goodies on December 6th.  Jesse found a six pack of beers from around the world in his shoes!

The Wyzgas held perrogi making day followed by the Christmas Eve service.  The batch Jesse and I were in charge of turned out stellar!     

Christmas Eve was spent at the Wyzgas where we stuffed ourselves with perogies and exchanged gifts.

(I have to interrupt with a comment about these awesome stuffed animals that Chad and Tarrah bought for bean.  They are adorable stuffed microbes-Ecoli, Ulcer, amoeba, and a mono microbe from Sarah!)

Christmas Day started out great with a light snowfall!  It almost never snows for Christmas here.  We spent the day at the Simpsons with a delicious gorgonzola beef tenderloin dinner and another round of presents for all.    We loved spending Christmas with our families and enjoyed every minute.
