Christmas in Arlington

Christmas Eve we headed down to Arlington, Minnesota to spend some time with Crystal’s family.  We did Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Wiemann’s where we had a great dinner with family.  Kai and Nora tracked Santa on the NORAD site and then put out cookies and made some of our now traditional reindeer oatmeal.  To make reindeer oatmeal you start with some oats but then anything can go in.  Kai and Nora get to choose the spices and do all of the mixing.  Christmas morning Kai was up early but Nora wouldn’t leave the bedroom unless she was holding my hand in case Santa was still there.   It turns out Santa brought all the gifts to Lea Ann and Steven Post’s house so we headed over there still in our pajamas and opened presents from Santa.
