As soon as school got done on Wednesday and Daddy got home from work, the family set out on their pilgrimage to Cross Lake. Great Grandma and Grandpa Laven's house is always a wonderful setting for Christmas, even if the drive always seems to be challenging. We arrived in time for a few games of Wii bowling and we spent Christmas Eve morning lazing around. We finally got ambitious and geared up for some winter fun on the pond. Due to the immense snowfall, Finley made her first snow angel, took a snowball to the head, and took a few runs on the sled with Uncle Luke and Daddy. We got cleaned up for church, where Finley went up to listen to the children's sermon. As she headed out of the pew, she remembered that she probably shouldn't have her binky up there so she handed it to the old man sitting at the end of the aisle. After church, we came home to enjoy appetizers and games. We left cookies and milk for Santa before we went to bed and discovered the next day that he left his hat on the lamp! We were really reminded of that when the polyester hat started smoking after the light was turned on. Finley got lots of cool books and a game and new play-doh toys and a brand new trike with a "trunk". Per tradition, Annie also got a set of noses. After brunch, we took off on the next leg of our Christmas adventure with a very full Envoy and headed to Waseca.
