Christmas @ the Olsons

Sorry for the late post (there's no excuse for it, I know, Liz). So, without further delay here are the pics from our Christmas morning with the Olson side of the fam. I also have to mention my Christmas miracle: the weather reports all said that buckets of snow would fall on Christmas day, but it was mild and sunny long enough for Jenny, Chris, and Frankie to drive down and visit for a few hours and get home safely. Then the snow really started coming down, but it was so great to see them!
Enjoy!

Frankie was the star of the show, look how cute she is on Grandpa's lap

Jodi, Mitch, Kendal, and Brennan-what an adorable family, right?

Dad and Jenny watching Frankie-look at the proud mom and grandpa

There's Frankie reading her card to a very attentive audience


Chris helped Frankie open her gifts, which were plentiful and noisy-have fun with that Mom and Dad!

Grandpa gave Kendal his own gun for when they go shooting. Awesome!

Frankie with her new "baby", watching Peaches

Here's Peaches working on her present, and no worries: all of Kyle's toes are intact

Grandma and Grandpa always put on the best Christmas breakfast, and we loved our gifts! Also Grandma decorates this incredible Santa tree every year in addition to her super-fancy tree upstairs.

Unfortunately, this pic doesn't do the tree justice. Everything on it is red, and Santa Claus-y. For me, this tree is one of the best parts of the season, I look forward to it every year.

Dad and Kyle- not the best picture, but Kyle tried to duck out of every other one I got so I had no choice

Just like Jodi tried to here, nice try but no cigar*

*I wonder where that phrase comes from... Leslie if you're reading this maybe you can take the case.
