Let the Christmas festivities begin!

Sunday we had Dad's side of the family over for the Packer game and to celebrate Christmas together.
Growing up we always did Dad's family on Christmas Eve and Mom's on Christmas Day - well once Patrick was in the picture we switched to spending time with the Ellestad's on Christmas Eve and therefore rarely get to see the Regenfuss family. 

Thankfully the snow cooperated and everyone was able to get to our house for the Packer game!


Thomas and Buppa built a replica of Uncle Fred's hot rod and gave it to him for Christmas.
They are still on the hunt for other familiar models for the future.


Lots of Packer gear and snacks in the basement -
holiday pot lucks on a snowy sunday in WI... what could be better?!?


 The boys were really enjoying going up and down the stairs - at one point I suggested they use the bottom landing as a stage or dance floor... Here is Jojo showing us his moves!


Diane and the kids playing - you can just see Gwen putting her face through the Bert puzzle block --- one of James favorite activities!



And this is a great example of entertaining children with no toys! Patrick was giving Josiah a ride and Jojo was telling him where to go by pulling on his thumbs - suddenly the other two boys are in the air and well and a chick fight broke out!  Too bad there wasn't this much cheering and excitement with the actual Packers!


Thanks again for making the trip to see us - we had a great time with everyone and hope it can become an annual tradition!
