Christmas 2008

We got to have a very relaxing and calm Christmas, well, atleast after we spent a day and a half trying to thaw out pipes, and melting snow to flush the toilet...  But, really we did have a great Christmas this year.  

We spent almost a week at our cabin in Victor.  After the frozen pipes issue was over... we decorated the cabin and got in the Christmas spirit.  David and I had come and put up a tree a few weeks before Christmas, but we didn't put any ornaments on it until Christmas Eve.  We put up Christmas lights, and Aunt Jen even put up a fire place for Santa to come down!!!  

This year David's mom made pillow cases for everyone, and David's dad de

ecided that it would be great to get pillows to go in the pillowcases.  So, we all got new pillow cases and pillows to sleep with on Christmas Eve, except for Elena... She has a new snow man dress.

We woke up Christmas morning to find lots of wonderful surprises!!  Santa came (of course) and brought: Ella a castle, sleeping beauty doll, and some dress up clothes, and he brought Elena a farm animal toy and a book.  Of course Grandpa and Grandma Cederstrom spoiled all of us rotten, and we got some fun gifts from each other too.  Catherine got a life-size cut-out of EDWARD from TWiLIGHT!   WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE, RIGHT?!?!?  (The dog's wouldn't agree, from the time we set him up, the dogs wouldn't stop barking at him!)

Here are some more pictures from Christmas.

While we were at the cabin we spent some good quality time with the snow.  Shoveling the snow, playing in the snow, melting snow for potty time, driving in the snow.  David didn't have to go to work because the road was even closed because of the snow.  We love the snow!!! 

Here are some pictures of us becoming aquainted with the snow.
