Christmas Eve was spent at the Manfred Lutheran Church service. As predicted Carrie, Natalie and I did a fabulous job on our trio. There were several numbers by the Anderson family - they are so musically talented. We returned to our house for a late supper of Lutefisk and Prime Rib. While my cooking skills weren't Top Chef quality - everyone enjoyed each other and the meal provided.
Kent and I opened presents after everyone left. We got a beautiful mare and foal figurine which has already found a home above the bed on the headboard. The best present is having the love of someone special to share in the holiday season!
I spent Christmas day at Lona's with the Opdahl's.

Kelly and Dawn and their children were not able to be with us and so since I didn't get to do so in person - I wish them a blessed holiday season and hope that health and happiness will be with them in the new year.
We did chores and slaughtered a couple cows as a family activity this afternoon. It was 18 above and we all ran around with coats opened like we were in the Bahamas...okay maybe not quite but it sure felt good to have such high temperatures today!
When we got home I had messages from all of my family and very dear friends. This Christmas I truly view the best presents not wrapped under a tree but wrapped in love in my heart.
Merry Christmas to all of you and may the spirit of the season be in your hearts throughout the new year!

Hee - hee! That's my Daisy, all dressed in Green. She was so adorable. I really like your scrapbook slideshows. It is always so much fun to get together with family, because the only way to get to know them truly is by being with them.
