Saturday After Christmas

Our neighbors George and Carmen made us blanket for Christmas. It is just beautiful. Carmen sews all the pieces together and then George quilts it together.

Here you can see the detail work in the white that George did with the quilting machine.
Here is the blanket laid out on our bed.
We were finally able to head out of our house on Saturday to get down to Mankato. And we did the Shaw Christmas that day.

Kathy and Jake waiting for the presents to be handed out.

Josh, Jamie and Kyle.

Here I am checking out which present to open first.

Poor Cheryl. She kept opening her presents and trying to figure out who she was with when she saw the item. We finally told her on her last present. Then we had to explain that her sister Melanie got everything, Corrina and Joe picked them up on there way to our house, and we brought them back down for Christmas.

Uncle Dennis got Jamie and Josh a Game Hauler for when they are deer hunting. I guess they had Jamie come back to get the snowmobile to pick up a deer this year. And as Jamie was driving out there he kept breaking through the ice. So he brought the snowmobile back and then had to walk all the way back and drag the deer back. Both boys were pretty happy about the gift. Oh and I got bacon and dang if it's not good. : )

Once Seth was done opening he just sat in the middle of everything and played his DS.

Since we also missed Christmas Eve at Grandma Shaw's house we got to open those gifts too. Here is a new piggy bank that said New Boat Fund on it. We all got a kick out of that.

Kyle and Cory discussing something. : )

Josh's new t-shirt that says don't Josh me. I saw it and had to get it for him.

Jamie got a Muskie pole from his mom. He's pretty excited to try that out this summer. I don't think I will go with him for that. Those things freak me out. Yuck.

Cory's new beer sign for his bar downstairs. This is from Joe, Corrina and Cheryl. Joe and Corrina got it at the Coors Distributor in Denver. They also got free samples while they were there. I guess Joe said that was the best Christmas shopping he had every done.

The boys also got toy guns from Cheryl this year. They run around here and play army all the time. I can't wait until it's summer and they can go outside with them.

Here is all our stuff we got this year. It also has Grandma Shaw's gifts in there.

Taylor even got a Christmas present. Here she is with her new life jacket for duck hunting. There are even handles on her back so you can just grab her and lift her into the boat.

Cody and Kyle helped Seth put together his Lego toys.

And of course Jake finally got his hands on Seth's DS and was gaming also.

On Sunday we drove down to Austin to see my sister and here are a couple pictures I took.
