Al is smoking a turkey breast today for the Olson Christmas here in Britt. He was up a little after 1 this morning getting it started. So needless to say.. we have all been up and down as every time we get up.. the cats get up.. this goes on and on and on....So about 6:00 I finally decided to get up as I was ready for a cup of coffee. My tree is lit.. my fireplace is lit and my outside lights are on.. I feel very festive today!!! We had a great day with the kids and grandkids on Saturday at Ryan's in Plainview. From the looks of all the smiles while opening presents.. everyone loved what they got!!! The 2 older girls were playing with their American Girl dolls- putting on the new outfits... The older boys were playing  videogames in Baden's room.. Erik tried to join in.. but lacks the experience for that level of play.. so he played with his school bus and read the Critter book with his dad. Leah was moving from lap to lap playing with everyone and being such a good girl!!!  Later in the afternoon Ryan and Tina took the 5 oldest ones sledding and they enjoyed that very much. Cori and Lisa got food ready for their return as they were STARVING!!! So we had a great day spending time with family... it is tough to get everyone together in one place..so we did a good job this year!!! Take a look at the pics.. you will see what I mean...
