The great grandparents. We had the Schader family over for the non traditional Christmas dinner of Lasagna, garlic bread and salad. Grandma Schader made yummy pies.

DiDi's girl




He loves DiDi and so does Andee

Great uncle Doug got a remote control car for Barron....it has one speed...full speed into the wall or whatever is in the way. Trouble!!!
All the decorations are already put away and Troy and I are having a glass of wine. Back to the real world. Barron is not going to know what to do...he has had the Christmas ferry and the advent calendar in the mornings. My mom started the Christmas ferry when we were little and it has been so fun to carry on the tradition. We started it 6 days before Christmas. Just little gifts, but he gets so excited about each one. They were hidden and when he got up all week he looked forward to finding them and also his advent Calander. He loved Christmas. He also understood Jesus birth and the real reason for Christmas. He got that this year and that was so awesome to see. He also memorized The night before Christmas book word for word. That was pretty amazing and so cute. It was a good day and we are so blessed!!!!

Barron loved making sugar cookies....not mom's specialty that is for sure. So messy and I have not mastered these yet. Maybe it comes with time:-)
