We drove all day and made it in about 12 hours to Hollister! Everyone came in throughout the night and we got settled in with Parenst, Sibs, and Cousins.
Packer made us a Christmas Video:
We all went to Mom and Dads for dinner! Tiago was being funny man and making us all laugh!
We had so much fun and so much laughter. We came home to finish playing and finish packing for California and clean up a little so that we could leave for the week.
I love how Christmas time gets everyone in their best moods and gives us reasons to get together and enjoy each others company. Family and Traditions are where it is at!
we played and played and played and ate cinnamon rolls and played and set up and unboxed and assembled!
SO MAGICAL and FUN! The kids “woke” us up and we all came down for a great morning!
It’s SO FUN giving and getting gifts!
I didn’t really do pajamas this year but we had fun being tough in our ADIDAS gear! The kids had fun posing and were excited about them.

Green Bay had a game that same Monday Night so we HAD to get together. Pete and Amanda hosted and made some delicious Eats and we had a great night.
We had a great afternoon at mom and dads on Monday the 23rd! The kids loved their ornaments and then they each got to open a gift. Grandma and Grandpa nailed it this year! They gave Ben Grandpa Nettesheims Letterman Sweater from Purdue! We gave them some gifts and then we had some snacks and enjoyed playing the new gifts!
