Christmas Week Update

We had a great Christmas this year. It was so fun watching Bethany check out her gifts. She was very spoiled by everyone and we now need a room just for her toys! Christmas morning we opened our gifts at our home and then went to Mom & Dad's (grammie & poppa) to open gifts there. We had our first Christmas dinner at Matt's parents (Nanny & Opa's)...and then 5 hours later had another one at my parents...so we were turkey'd out, well until leftovers the next day!!!

We were very fortunate that Matt wasn't working this Christmas, so we were able to spend the holiday relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends! So here are 800 pics to recap the last few days...just kidding there's only 400.

Bethany was very happy to see her Uncle Adam!
It was great to have him home for Christmas.

Hello again Tamara, Matt, And Bethany!
Not being very technology smart I don't really know what I am doing but if you can start a blog that's all the inspiration I need to try to post a message. Anyways, this is Erika Backmeyer wishing you a merry Christmas and Happy New year. Tam you look great! Matt, not so much but what can you do...
Bethany is beautiful and SO big! Hope that the weather is treating you guys right out there. I am in sunny Calgary right now not looking forward to joining ship on the stormy west coast but work is work.
Love from me to you and yours!
