Grandma Sue has a dancing Santa, music box snowman, and other interesting Christmas things.

It was Christmas Eve.  There were so many presents we hardly knew where to start.

Part of the time we just got to be sociable.

Christmas is a good time for making movies.

Opening presents is most important, however.

The shirt is monogrammed with "Grandpa Al."

Addie went shopping for Grandma Sue.

The Norgaards. 

We all went to the 10 p.m. Mass in Victoria and then Nick and his girlfriend Jenny Jo had to leave.  The next day they trekked up north to spend Christmas with Jen's family.

The Norgaards spent the night in Victoria, and Santa Claus found the kids.

Addie could go very fast on her new scooter.

Gunnar needed a little help because he's only two years old.  Good Morning, Christopher.

Addie showed her little brother how to do things.

Addie knew all about elbow pads and knee pads.

Then Jenny helped Gunny go round and round.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care … and they were full of goodies.

Then it was time for breakfast …

… and a mid morning nap.
