Last Tuesday evening we went to Hoffman to celebrate Christmas with Brad's side of the family. We went to Christmas Eve service in Hoffman. When we pulled up to the church, there were only a handful of cars there. I started to think...one car had to be the pastor, one car must have been the organist and the other the usher??!! When we got inside the church, there were a few more people... about 25. Everyone must have carpooled. The pastor wasn't there yet, so we just sang Christmas carols until she got there. We had a nice time with the family and Emmy finally warmed up to Grandma Debbie right before we were leaving. For some reason, every time Emmy looks at Grandma Deb, she sticks her bottom lip out and cries really hard. I feel so bad for Grandma...it's so heartbreaking for her.
Thursday afternoon, we left Hoffman and drove down to Montevideo to celebrate with Grandpa Brad. We started a tradition with my dad last year by eating king crab for dinner. This year he got the colossal king crab. It was soooooo good!
On Friday, we spent the whole day with Grandma Linda. Instead of having a tree this year, my mom just hid our gifts throughout her house. We had to search for them...It was pretty funny. My mom forgot to make a master copy of where she hid all the gifts. We found all but one gift for my sister-in-law Rachel. After all of our gifts were opened, we played "Heartland Strategy."
Emmy received the cutest gifts from everyone and we'll have fun playing & reading to her.
She got the cutest potty training book for when that time comes. It contains 17 funny songs and rhymes parents can use to coax kids into the bathroom. Example:
(Sing to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Sitting there upon the pot.
Any second now, you'll see ...
Sprinkle, splash and you'll go pee!
OR
(To the tune of On Top Of Old Smokey)
On top of my potty
I sit and I wait
I know what I'm making...
Is going to be great!
