We had a great Christmas. Everyone went to Leif and Ann's this year and even we spent the night. It started with 3 pm Christmas Eve church, then we had a huge dinner and had a gift giving frenzy. After many hours and glasses of wine, we finally went to bed. Hana had other plans when we got there and ended up sleeping with us.
Today was fun as well! Santa stopped by overnight, so the kids got a few more gifts. Knute even got an iPad 2! Hana had a wonderful time playing with her cousins and of course we ate too much again. Everyone brought a "sauce" and we feasted on Italian foods (and pastas) and wonderful desserts. Comatose, we headed home (with a brief stop at Roo to deliver some extra food!)
Once Home, Hana got her other present from Santa (who apparently stopped by our house as well!) an easel and we put together her table and chairs from the Nelson's and Hana had a grand time playing and drawing before bed. Now we are all tired and headed to bed. Pictures later! :-)
Here are some highlights:
Pre dinner look at the Balk's Norway pictures.
Britta giving Hana piano "lessons" which Grandpa looks on!
Christmas Eve dinner! Jelloman came out in one piece this year!
Hana loved all her gifts, but had to carry this around to show off! :-)
Technology for Hana! Yippee!

Hana gave her Dada a new iPad 2!
Hana loves playing with her cousins!
Sledding with cousin Solveig... sort of! Hana wasn't too sure b/c the hill was a little steep.
Game time!
Back home, Hana got to play with the easel Santa left for her!
And with the cookie jar she got on her new table!
Very fun! Now it's time for night-night!
