Strey Christmas

After recovering from so much Christmas fun we loaded up the car and headed down to St. Peter for the Strey Christmas.
Great-Grandma Jo was ready and waiting to feed Mia her nighttime bottle.

The next morning Mia was ready and rarin' for the festivities to begin. It was an action packed morning. And, as all good mornings do, it started with a trip for coffee and everyone came!

While there Grandma taught my dad a thing or two about technology - and Grandpa and I thought about joining Mia in a nap!

Tida loved her coffee and was totally ready to go ;)

Hanging out at home was a blast. Betsy got to show off her 7 month preggers belly... We are so excited to meet Baby Gherkin!

Finally it came time for presents. Mia was shocked but totally excited to learn that Santa sometimes goes to Grandpa Howie and Grandma Janet's house with a stocking for her too...

Opening presents was so much fun with the whole Strey-Clan! Often people start wearing their presents even before we are done...

Dan C sure loves his snow globes! I am unsure if he is in awe by the shiny glitter or by the fact that we get up at 3AM every year to get one of these tiny things...

Our classic, yet still awesome, picture stylings!

This cake pan fascinated Mia for about 20 minutes. What a great Christmas!

And then my camera died. We did many other fun things including a shower for Betsy, a night in a hotel, and seeing all Jessi's side of the family! What a great holiday Season!
