We started out our Christmas alittle early

decided to open some presents on wensday, because of our buys weekend ahead of us

We got a Wii the kids screamed!

We then got all ready for heading the Thief River Falls
to see Grandpa and Grandma Stinkerbug

We suprised them with Gifts too

Grandma got a camera and Grandpa got a Tractor, if first ever tractor!
Matthew wanted it out of the box to play with it!


Grandma and Matthew had fun too thinking they were hiding!

  1. I LOVE that last picture of them with their suitcases! I can just see you all now, trucking along in an airport, running to board a plane to Illinois! Those are too darn cute! I bought Jacob one yesterday...I couldn't resist! He and Matthew have the same one!
    It was a great time TRF!! I am so thankful that I have more and more family members up here. I remember when it was just lonesome Nick and I crashing everybody else's family holidays!!
    Thanks for everything!!! Oh yeah, and thank you so much for that darn microphone!!! Jacob yells in it from downstairs whenever he wants me to come and help him with something!
