Christmas with the Ewald

Christmas day we loaded up the truck and set off for Unionville - great day for driving - no snow and very little traffic.  And it only took us about 4 hours - even better!  We arrived in Unionville about 2:00 pm and snacks were ready to eat and stockings were ready to be opened.  Mom had outdone herself this year.  Shortly after we arrived, the Welden clan made it too.  And that meant, present time!

Karle and Kahle were very excited to open presents and they hit the jackpot.  I think everyone got what they wanted and much more.  Thank you so much to Mom and Dad!  You guys are the best!  And we couldn't ask for more!  A few highlights - we got Dad an Ipad and he was so excited!  And Ryan and I got Mom Michigan basketball tickets - 6 rows up!  And Mom and Dad got us lots of great stuff... gift cards to Lowe's, some cartharts for Ryan and new workboots... and lots more!  We are truly blessed!


 Then we had an awesome prime rib dinner and German potato salad (that everyone claimed to be the best ever) and lots of other yummy sides and a few desserts that Boo Boo Ma used to make - nice job Mom!  Then we decided to work a little of dinner off and play Wii Dance 3!  Julie and I had a blast and Mary and Ryan and Scott even got in on the action.  WAY FUN!  Can't wait to practice up!



Monday we ventured off to Saginaw for Christmas lunch at Uncle David's with the Weber family - another great meal with Turkey and all the fixing.  Great time seeing everyone.  Then it was back home to chill and play some games - Mom got us all of us a new game - Logos that was a blast and then I got the kids Quirkle - what required some thinking but also lots of fun.   

Thursday, we had lunch at Grandpa's house and hung out with him for a while and then Ryan and I loaded up to head home.  Wonderful first Christmas together!
