The last two weeks have flown by! We celebrated Christmas with Gigi and the Braun side of the family on Thursday night. Then Ben spent the night with us and drove back to Kirksville with us on Friday.

We went to Christmas Eve service with my Grandparents. And even though Jack, Terry and I spent the majority of the service in the back of the church we still had a nice time. We had homemade soup and cookies (a Gordon tradition) at Grandma & Grandpa's house after church. Christmas morning we woke up about 8 am at my parents to open presents. Jack got the cutest painted table and chairs along with a couple musical instruments from Papa and Grammy. I had the best Christmas because I got a new fancy camera (note: none of the pictures below are from it). I plan on taking a class to really figure out how to use it. Terry and my two oldest brothers drove back to St. Louis on Sunday while Jack and I staying in K-ville until Wednesday.

Smile if you've been naughty!

Jack and his buddy Ben - these two are going to get in a lot of trouble together in a few years.

Then on Friday night, Terry and I spent the night at the Hyatt and went to their New Year's Eve bash with our neighbors. We had a lot of fun! Jack stayed the night with Grandpa and Nana. On New Year's Day we all went to Gigi's for her annual Open House. Then we went back to Grandpa & Nana's house for the Tonsing Christmas. Fun times but I'm glad the holiday chaos is over :)
