Today we made our way north to South Dakota to spend the weekend with my side of the family for Christmas. We knew it was going to be a quick trip up & back but was amazed at how truly fast the entire weekend flew by!Once we arrived, we caught up with everyone & waited for my dad to get home from work. Once he got home and settled, we all gathered around the Christmas tree & opened our gifts to each other. What fun it was to watch the kids open their gifts and see the joy on everyone's faces when they saw what they got. Below is my dad and nephew Lane opening a gift. It was a wonderful evening spent with family & Shane & I got some really nice gifts as well.
Saturday we spent the afternoon watching the KU game & then later we went to the movie "The Blind Side". For those of you who haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it! It was a fabulous movie that will touch your heart and change you forever! Go see it!!!
Saturday evening my grandparents, cousins, aunt & uncle came over for dinner and we had our annual White Elephant gift exchange which is always a lot of fun. Everyone seemed to be content with what they got as there was no stealing of gifts this year! It was so nice to get to see everyone. Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Sunday we were already making our way back to KC. We were both anxious to get home & see the dogs and get settled as we were back to work on Monday! It was a quick trip but was so much fun to see the family and enjoy everyone's company. My sister & her family were unable to join us and they were definitely missed! Looking forward to seeing them in 3 weeks as I make my way to WI for a visit!
