We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 2007!!! Yep, you read correctly, Merry Christmas! As many of you know from reading our blog, Dave's sister and brother-in-law, have been living in South Korea for the past year. They came back for a few weeks to visit and have now headed back for another year and a half. One of the sad things about living oversees is missing Christmas at home, but not this year. We surprised them with Christmas in August. We had a big dinner, complete with turkey (okay it was a huge hutterite chicken!), stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and eggnog. We opened stockings under the tree and watched Charlie Brown's Christmas!! It was proof that a big part of Christmas is spending time with loved ones, because it felt just like it was the real thing!
Rachel and Dawson opening gifts
Steven and Dave using Trevor as target practice!

Steven received hair growth serum from Becky, next summer when he comes to visit we expect a full beard!
Our table, complete with Christmas poppers (can't believe Costco is already selling them)

Becky and Steven, relegated to the "kiddy table"
Dawson enjoying his "First Christmas" (okay it's his second, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember it)!!!
