Christmas was so fun this year....every year it starts with the Husband choosing the "perfect" Christmas tree from the yard, and getting the old chainsaw out.
Making sure the tree falls AWAY from the house....
Success....
We heaved it into the house....a little bigger than he anticipated.
We got it in the house, but we couldn't get it back out of the house to trim it. The logical thing was to bring the chainsaw in and just take care of business in the living room. (Look how happy he looks---chainsawing in the living room!)
Santa at Bentleyville also marks the beginning of our Christmas celebration. It was extremely cold this year.
The girls had a dance recital mid-December. They are enjoying dance!
Skaudis Christmas was our first celebration.
It's lots of fun to get together with all the cousins!!
Mummi Alice, Grandpa Jeff, the Husband, Wade, Marjia, and Eddie
Next was Kennedy Christmas. This year's activity was making potica (a Slovenian pastry consisting of a sweet yeast dough rolled thin and filled with walnuts and honey). My mom and aunt learned how to make it from their cousins, so they taught the rest of us the secrets.
The bakers!
Christmas morning.
