Xmas in NE

The Jantzen family Christmas celebration took place in Nebraska. We had a great time visiting with family. Thank you Glen & Linda for hosting us. Thank you Dolores for preparing a feast! Some of us even had to wear stretch pants...

Check who guarded the house while we were away?

Happy to catch up at Glen and Linda's house

Now visiting Vern and Dolores next door.
Check out who is sporting an overall this year!?!

Goofy cousins

Sophie had the best time playing with Austin

Once in IT, can't escape from the computer repair everywhere you go!

A cool pile of cousins right there!

Lydia was happy to be the part of the festivities too

Aren't cousins the greatest thing ever?

More coffee time

Lasagna for everyone

We have to digest on the carpet now

I want to do this too!

Gymnastics demonstration to entertain everyone

Food, food and more great food!

Time to open presents. I love that time!

Thanks for the cool cap!

Family time

Here we are almost complete
(missing Josh & Jessica and Sarah's family)

Zoo

A trip to the zoo to pet the sting rays was what today called for. Very slick!

Come here, Sandy's cousins!

They are all so smooth!

That's a wrap, folks!

Drone

Christmas Day was such a sunny day, Alex had to take his drone for its first ride at school.

First flight!

A little better

Park

Let's go to the park to play in the jungle gym. I can show you all my tricks!

Who is that monkey? Can it be Sophie?!?

Gymnast demo

More back bending craziness.
It's not your mother's yoga anymore...

I wonder where she learned to be a reporter like that?!?

Christmas

The children could hardly wait for the Christmas eve service to be over to race home. Why? Some presents were waiting for them there! Merry Christmas everyone!

Reading the Christmas story out of his Bible

Yeah, we got spoiled again this year...

Is that what I think it is? Yes, it's poop indeed!

Unicorn journal and markers: yeah!

I cannot believe Papa & Maman actually got me this!

I cannot wait to try this outside!

Thanks uncle Gilles & uncle Jean for the crystals!

It took Sophie about 2 hours to build her Lego ski resort
all by herself! Yeah miss Independent!

Prelude

Children and adults played Christmas music for the prelude at church. Some have fancier stockings and shoes than others...

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

It came upon a midnight clear

Winterfest

Worlds of Fun winterfest was quite the experience. Too bad they can't do it when it's 75 degrees out...

Ready to show Sophiya what WOF is all about!

Lights everywhere
