Merry Christmas to all! Like everyone else I'm sure, I had a very busy Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Jake and I had his family over for dinner. It was great to get to spend good time with his brother, sister, and dad. I made dinner and desert and then we hung out and watched some TV and talked about the holidays. Then my parents and sister came over for a while before we headed off to church for the late mass that we attend every year. The church looked beautiful!!!
On Christmas morning we went over to my mom and dad's again for our traditional Christmas breakfast. Grandpa Sagen was able to join us as well. The day was going great, except for Jake not feeling well. After breakfast, we headed over to Jake's dad's house to open presents with his brother and sisters. It was great to get to spend time with them again. We don't get to see his one sister very often, so we always do enjoy the time we get together. Before returning back to my house for the Rieber-side Christmas we headed off with Jake's siblings to go visit his mom. She is doing great, and was very happy to see all of us.
After visiting his mom, Jake dropped me back off at my parent's house. He needed to go home to rest because he wasn't feeling well. We had a great Christmas. My favorite present was a music box that had been part of my grandma's collectors edition. It was a Peter Pan one, and it has always been one of my favorites. It was a difficult time for many of us, but it is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
After the house cleared, it was time for us to open presents. Bennett didn't quite know what to think, but he loved his truck that he got from Auntie Kristin. By this time, it was getting to be late and everyone was ready to head home. It was a great time and a great Christmas.
The holiday's ended very well, except for our family break-out of the flu!

I think Jake started the flu epidemic :-) I'm just trying to shift the blame off my little baby boy, who is probably the culprit!
