MERRY CHRISTMAS evening

After quite the morning of presents and our favorite Ebleskiver for breakfast we headed home for nap time-for ALL of us! We came over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the afternoon and evening and opened presents all over again!

Hooray for a new hat and gloves.

Special new blankie

WOW! What a surprise hit Elmo was. Karsten went CRAZY when she opened it up.

Who knew?

New sled that gave some pretty good magic carpet rides.

And then came Noah's Ark books and...HOMEMADE ANIMALS! Yes, Grandma spent months hand making an elephant, monkey and 5 ft+ tall giraffe for Karsten. These animals are amazing to say the least-impressive just doesn't even touch it!

And last but not the least, Daddy received good old fashioned Hershey's syrup from his mom. Guess his wife buys the cheap and or lite version that just doesn't cut it...

hmmm, did not know that!
