Christmas Day with the Stomberg Clan!


We spent Christmas Day with mom's family (i.e. The Stomberg Clan) at Uncle Len & Aunt Deb's house. It was lots of fun! The pics aren't in any specific order.





















These next pictures all happened within moments of each other, and they are in the order I took them. My aunt Cindy has a fear of spiders. So, as a gift, she received a fake spider in some sort of a squishy tube. So when you squeezed it, the spider would move. Here's her reaction:







I would have had the same reaction! :)


Family Picture Time!






This next picture was our first attempt at a picture of the grandchildren, which turned out awful! Take note that Levi and I are both laughing, and everyone else is trying to figure out what is going on......

Here's what happened: with Levi being so tall, and me being so short, I still was barely taller than him when he's kneeling. So, my mom and her sister's were having a fit because they could barely see my face in the pictures. They kept telling me to move closer to my sis, but every time I moved, Levi moved too. Of course, no one knew that, they just thought I wasn't listening to them! It was pretty funny! :)


Overall, fun day as usual!
