Just a little late, but here are some fun moments from our 2012 Christmas!
CHRISTMAS IN DES MOINES
(I didn't get many pictures at all!)
(I didn't get many pictures at all!)
The Cookoff in Des Moines. Every year, the men in the family have a cook-off, with a theme usually thought up by the women. This year, we did Chinese. We judge base on taste and presentation. Patrick made lettuce roll-ups, and he won! Dad made rice and chicken, with actual take-out Chinese containers, and Jon made pad thai (I know, not EXACTLY Chinese, but still tasty!) It was so yummy, and Jenny and I had a blast trying all the foods out. Below are the 3 entrees.
MACY'S ELVES SHOWCASE AND MEETING SANTA!!
CHRISTMAS IN BREEZY POINT WITH THE MAURER SIDE
We had such an amazing time with the family at Breezy point this year. Unfortunately, Ben was the only grand-kid there, but he had such a blast swimming, playing, and being the center of attention :)
Kandi and Peg pampered the family by bringing wax for both hand and feet, and water spas for our feet as well. It was so absolutely wonderful!
Even the boys enjoyed it :)
Ben walking with Uncle Karl. So sweet!
Ben loved trying out his hand at ping pong at the restort!
We played the dice game for gifts, and Ben loved to roll for anyone who would let him!
CHRISTMAS AT THE MARSOS
(I didn't get as many pictures as I wish I would have!)
CHRISTMAS AT HOME
Our lovely red pajamas that we all wear to bring in Christmas morning.
finally...
NEW YEARS WITH GREAT GRANDPA WESLEY!
Grandpa Scott and Great Grandpa Wesley LOVED to play ball with Ben. It was so much fun to watch!
AND FINALLY, BEN IS SPENT!

Thank you to everyone for the amazing time and gifts that Christmas brought. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We love you all!!!
