First Christmas

Eva's first Christmas was wonderful!
We spent xmas eve night at Jeremy's mom's. We had a great time and even had a visit from Santa (Jeremy's brother Abrahm). As you can see from the picture though, Eva was a little scared of Santa. We also had another surprise guest...a four week old piglet! Jeremy's mom had picked it up to bring to a neighbor who raises pigs when they drove up north to jeremy's grandma and grandpas the next day. This pig was still so small its being bottle fed, so we had a classic photo op for me to feed Eva while Abrahms girlfriend Tracy fed the pig. Classic!!!
On xmas day we went to my parents to celebrate with them and my sisters and their children. We had a lot of fun there and it was neat to see all the kids having a blast. I'm going to love to watch Eva grow and get excited about her presents each year too. She is starting to enjoy some toys like the play gym she is on in the pics. I can't believe she'll be toddeling around next xmas!!! There are 5 grandkids now at family gatherings and we learned that my sister Kari and her husband Jeremy will be adding to that number!! They have started the adoption process for their second child which they should be able to go and bring home from Ethiopia in 2010. Soo excited!
