Snapshots of Christmas 2010

Team Utzig had a nice Christmas 2010. We kicked off our Christmas Eve by celebrating His birth at Celebrate Church. We love our church and are so thankful for God leading us to it! Anyway, after the service it was present time. A couple of the biggest "hits" were Summer's pillow pet - a blue dolphin. (Her favorite color is blue, favorite animal the dolphin...this thing was meant for her!) Sam loved his book for his baseball/football card collections and a new Tim Tebow poster. (Tim is a Bronco, not a Viking, yet he is a Christian & a good role model in the sea of not-so-great-ones in sports.) The kids seem to enjoy "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" & "Fan Favorite Sports" Wii games. Let's just say that by watching Summer drive her go-kart & dirt bike in this sports game we won't be handing over keys to a brand new car when she turns 16. She likes to go fast and thinks it's funny to run into things!

After presents it is time to get cozy downstairs by the fireplace. We bring a mattress out on the floor, eat lots of snacks, watch "The Polar Express" and fall asleep happy and all together.

Christmas morning we headed for G & G Utzig for more fun. We not only celebrated Christmas with them but also their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Summer and Grandma played dress-up, Sam & the guys watched football. You'll see a photo of S & S with their Great-grandparents who have been married 60 + years, and them sitting with 2 of their 4 cousins that live in the Twin Cities.

We are thankful for time to visit family, good roads for traveling, health for everyone, and most of all just time together to make memories, and remember who and what is important. Hope you liked our little peak into our holiday.
