Christmas 2008: Christmas is a very enjoyable time for myself. I try not to get wrapped up in the buying frenzy and try to appreciate the time with my family and friends. There seemed to be a lot of parties this year. My wife and I went to spend some time with our church family group on the 19th. Then we were able to get in touch with my Mom and step-dad Peter for some Dinner on the 23rd. My twin brother Chris and his wife Claire were also able to make the dinner. My Mom made some delicious lasagna and their dogs are sooo cute.
On Christmas day we went over to Craig and Annette’s house (Jane’s parents) for a late breakfast early lunch. We relaxed by the fire, opened presents and ate more than I think I should of. Jane’s brother Mike and his wife Anne showed up with a car full of presents, their two kids, Craig and Cody, and their dog Brandy.
After lunch, we headed out to Jenny and Ricki’s house (Jane’s older sister) for a late lunch early dinner. Everyone and their uncle showed up and we had a lot of fun watching the kids play on their new Wii and opening up all their presents. I got to see some of my relatives that I have never meet before.
After all of that, we headed over to see my grandma in the hospital (no pictures). She has been in the hospital for almost two months from a surgery she had to remove her Colon. She is doing great and hopefully she will be out in early January. Overall, is was a great time and I was really tired at the end of the night.

This is one of the coolest thing about Christmas at the Leinen’s house. Their working model train.
Crazy kids.
