Christmas Eve 2010

We celebrate Christmas with our families on Christmas Eve. We arrived at the Muhligs' around lunch time and then went to my parents' house at dinner time.  After we arrived at Ryan's parents' house we ate lunch, opened gifts and then the adults played robber's bingo. There is never a dull moment at the Muhlig house and you can always count on lots of laughs.  This year the highlights were Dustin falling through the ice at the creek and walking back to the house in his underwear. Then wearing Nana Muhlig's robe, and earning the name Hugh Jensen. The other highlight was when Ashley's boyfriend, Joe, won most of the gifts at robber's bingo and it became Joe's Christmas. He was a very polite young man even when he opened some rather tacky gifts. I sure hope he comes back next year with many of the items regifted.

After a fun time at the Muhligs' we headed across town to my parents' house. We then all went to pizza hut for dinner and then to church. While the rest of the fam arrived 30 minutes early to church, Kaitlyn drove Ryan and I around Council Grove...and amazingly we made it to church in one piece. After church we went back to mom and dad's house to open gifts. By the time we got through ALL the gifts it was time for us to head home to Augusta so we could all be snug in bed before Santa arrived.

Surprisingly we didn't get kicked out for being so loud.

 All the girls received Christmas teddy bears.

 Such a pretty face Kaitlyn
