3 Christmases of fun

We have three wonderful sets of grandparents, and had three Christmases this past year. They're in reverse order in the photos.We celebrated with my Dad and Stepmom on the day after Christmas. This was the first year in a long time that we got to see my stepsiblings Scott and Katie for Christmas.

We spent Christmas Day at Mom and Dave's. Here Mom is holding Zaria and showing off her new jewelry.
Here's Xander while his Santa hat was still on!
We saw my stepbrother Brian, brother Jason and his wife Caralee at Mom's this year.
And after watching the Christmas program at Jamin's folks' church, we had his folks and his brother and family over for dessert. Pictured here are Dan, Gwendolyn, Zaria and Jamin.
And here's Jamin's mom, Marla, holding Xander by our Christmas tree.

Family Fun on Medicine Lake

We went to the Art Shanties gallery on Medicine Lake last weekend. Though most of them didn't actually have any fishing involved, the one below did. There was a platform above, so you couldn't actually see the fisherman above in this space where kids were looking down the hole. It was comforting to see 2 feet of ice below us, though.
I sang Linda Ronstadt's version of "Heat Wave" since it was a balmy 31 degrees outside. One of the karaoke requirements was that you had to draw a picture of yourself singing. Jamin took care of that for me and added my red scarf as a nice touch.
