There is just something great about going home for the holiday's and none more so than to a parents house. We both feel great nostalgia when we go home to celebrate with our two families each year. Sunday morning we awoke to frosted trees already over loaded with the many inches of snow Minnesota has been treated to this year, what a beautiful sight to see on our way to Steve's childhood church, First Covenant. Familiar faces greeted us and it's always such an amazing pleasure to see Uncle Mitch sing with the praise and worship team.

An amazing brunch was enjoyed with egg bakes, french toast bakes, fruit and mimosa's, then the kids were allowed to open their stockings. I'm not sure where Nana shops, but she finds the craziest fun things for the kids each year, it's always exciting to watch what they pull out next. Nap times for some and further present opening ensued, snowmobiling, another spectacular meal of soups and in true Reese (the Stephen Reese family that is) tradition, an ER visit. Some have said we need to be more careful on Holidays and it appears they are right. Daddy took on a incline with his snowmobile and came down injuring his right knee. If you recall a recent Labor Day weekend, a similar altercation with a dirt bike yielded damage to his left knee. We'll be sure to watch ourselves (mainly Daddy) over the upcoming Easter and 4th of July celebrations.....

Over all it was still a great and magical time, spent with family celebrating the most wonderful gift of all, a little baby boy named Jesus!
