Christmas in Milaca

We celebrated Christmas in Milaca with Matt's family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year, and we had a wonderful time! We opened presents on Christmas Eve, and Bennett got lots of cool gifts including a toy pop gun, pj's, a remote control race car, a Veggie Tales board game, a train sweatshirt (see below), a toy rifle, a Leap Frog V-Motion, and various other assorted gifts in his stocking on Christmas morning (see cute slippers below). We had the kids open their presents first, and then we put them to bed so Santa could visit. The adults opened gifts next and went to bed way too late, and were awakened early the next morning by eager little children! Baby Sahlstrom #2 even received some wonderful gifts! After opening stockings the kids headed outside for hours of fun in the snow and the "warm" weather. We spent Christmas Day and the day after relaxing, watching the kids play, and eating lots of delicious food. It was a great time! Merry Christmas!
