Brown Christmas 2011

Despite all our hopes, we never got more than a dusting of snow and our Christmas landscape was warm and brown. It didn't take away from our fun and festivities, though! On Christmas Eve, we went to the Elliotts' to celebrate with my family. Laura quickly sat down and checked out the gifts.


All of the Lundgren grandkids who were present were very cooperative for a picture (Thanks, Scott!), but unfortunately Baby Adam was asleep and missed the photo session. Colin, Justin, Laura, Karl, Wyatt, and Scott


Justin and Wyatt are the same age and are always best buds when they're together.

This is what our tree looked like after the kids (finally) fell asleep.


This was the first year that Karl stayed up late and went to the 10:30pm candlelight service at church (Laura just wanted to go to bed so the two of us stayed home), so Christmas morning at 7:00 felt very early for this boy. I think he emptied his stocking while still asleep. He perked up when it came time for the big presents, though.


Here's a taste of how our Christmas morning went:
