This year we are kicking off our Christmas celebrations by heading to Leavenworth on Dec. 22nd, to great-grandma Alyce's house. Paul, Nichole, Katelyn and Eli will also be there, and maybe Aunt Suzanne! We are hoping for clear roads but lots of snow at the house to play in!

On the 23rd we will head home and welcome Cassie and Dick as our guests!

On the 24th we will host Christmas Eve dinner. Thanks to Cassie for providing most of the food! Besides the Hares, Susie and Larry Woodard, Ray and Betty Woodard, and Aunt Linda and Brenda will also be here!

On Christmas Day morning we'll be at home- a great tradition that we love! Then later in the day we will head over to Susie and Larry's house for Christmas Dinner. There we also get to see Heather, Joe, Crystal and Scott!

On the 26th we'll be heading to Whidbey Island to Diane and David Ott's House for another Christmas celebration. There we also get to see cousins Brook, Garrett, and Shannon, and her husband Bob. Shannon is pregnant with their first child and it will be especially exciting to see her!

On the 27th it is back to work!
