Our final Christmas!

The up north tour began in Minneapolis and was very quick. Our first stop was at the Rivers'. We had a great time catching up and it was our last visit before the arrival of baby Rivers. We are so excited we can hardly wait! Jacie had a great time playing with Uncle Mark!

Auntie Kari picked out this adorable cabage patch doll for Jacie...her first one!

2nd stop was at the Grier house. Poor Lucas and Jacie, their mommy's are obsessed with dressing them alike. It is soooooo cute though! :)

They are staring at eachother thinking WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING TO US!?!?!

We got Lucas this adorable "old man" hat!

And Jacie got her first basketball, some adorable clothes and a BEAUTIFUL crystal ornament.

Then we had our breakfast get together. Kari joined us, we where able to catch up with our friend Paul because he was visiting from Germany (his new home, and Barry and Brenna came. They got Jacie her first football, a Packers one of course. They also got her some Packer socks. It was great to catch up with them too!

On to the farm to celebrate with the Barbers and Johnsons! Lucas was reading his cousing a story. He is so sweet to her, it is really fun to watch the two of them together and I think that is only going to get to be more and more fun with time.

Christmas at the Barber's was full of gifts as usual. Jacie got a Teddy Ruxpin, which was her daddy's FAVORITE toy when he was little.

And Grandpa B made both Jacie and Lucas one of this adorable rocking chairs.

This is what I call heaven...reading a story to two of my favorite babies!

Best buds...and TROUBLE! :)

All and all it was an amazing holiday...crazy but a great time. We love getting to spend time with family and friends. Here is to 2010! :)
