Ah, the anticipation of the annual Hendrickson white elephant gift exchange. It actually doesn't follow white elephant rules in the strictest sense (the gifts were all purchased by one person, and at the end we swapped for whatever things we liked or could use most), but we like it that way.
Here Aunt Emily instructs Joy in the fine art of Mr. Potatohead assembly. We truly learn important life skills from family. :)_________
We spent Christmas morning at home, then visited Uncle Mike and Aunt Vicky before heading out for a celebration with my extended family. The few photos I took didn't turn out well, and the rest of the time I was too busy talking and eating (and eating, and eating . . .) to get out the camera. Ah well - memories are worth more than photos, right?
That night we drove up to my parents' cabin, and the next morning Joy was pretty intrigued by all the white stuff on the ground.
She thought Papa's gloves were pretty cool, too.
Everyone who was over age 2 and not pregnant went sledding. It was a lot of fun, as long as they didn't crash. If you want more details about that, talk to my mom - let's just say she'll be applying makeup left-handed for a little while. Sorry, Mom. :(Er, on that cheerful note . . .
Merry Christmas, everyone!

I love Heathers jacket! Where did she get it? And what happened to your moms hand, did she break it? Poor thing. Hope you had fun in the snow. Is there always that much snow this time of year?
It's rare to have that much snow up there, so we had a lot of fun in it, aside from the crash. Mom's hand is fine, but she fractured her humerus (the bone in her upper arm).
