Holidays back home...

It was great to spend Christmas in Minnesota with all of our families. Last year was hard being away from everyone during the holidays, so this year was much better :)

We have always had a very busy Christmas. We start off Christmas Eve at my parents house with our immediate family. Then head off to be with my mom's side and lastly go to my dad's side of the family. We usually are home around 10pm. Then Christmas Day the kids woke up to filled stockings and presents under the tree. After breakfast we drove down to Mankato to go to Chad's grandma's house and followed it up at Chad's parents. Slept over night and then headed back to my parents until we left back to Shanghai. A lot of celebrating, but great to be able to see all our family!

Christmas Day- Santa made a stop at Great Grandma Reed's house!

New Year's Eve we drove up to Duluth for our last Christmas at Chad's grandma's house. Stayed for a couple of hours then came back to my parents to ring in the new year with my dad's side of the family.

Both of the kids lasted until midnight! Such party animals :)

 Had no snow in Minnesota until New Year Eve night. Thankfully we were at least able to see some of it!

Fun times at Grandmas! Money everywhere :)

Both kids loved juicing with grandma!

Was so great seeing everyone during our visit. Since we had a shorter trip back and with the holidays we are very sorry to those who we were not able to connect with and see :( We'll be back in July to make up for it!! Love you all..
