Saturday: "On the Second Day of Christmas..."

We celebrated Christmas for three days (the 24th, 25th and 26th) with various combinations of family members. :)
The first evening was at Paul & Maegi's with lots of children and "in-laws" and "by marriages". It snowed all day, too!

The second day was spent sledding, making cookie platters and recovering from the night before. :) Again, it snowed all day. That dinner was a little a lot quieter with just Hanny & family at Grossmuetti & Grossvati's. We ate a cheese fondue and then Daddy had a devotional. We sang songs, opened presents, and had dessert.

Which cookies on which plates?

Grossmuetti made 6 kinds with me, 3 with my cousin, 3 on her own and 

we aren't sure where the other 4 kinds of cookies came from. :)

One of our cookie plates...Mmmm

It was a white, white Christmas. I haven't got any pictures 

from sledding, because...I was...sledding. :)

The tree...and presents. 

Katrina took this picture of her aunt Hanny. They played 

hide and seek before dinner. She sure scored some points there! :)
