On Friday, we drove to Lincoln for the Burkle Christmas. Zach and I hosted (planned and made meals, organized the competition, brought games, cleaned, etc.) but it was at my sister and brother-in-law's house.
We made cupcakes and frosted them for Jesus' birthday.
Just like last year, we had the kids open presents first and we opened ours later.
Matching outfits
Karter was playing Santa
For this year's competition, we picked appetizers.
Josh and Megan made a Pesto Torta, my parents made Fleishbalken (a kind of meatball) with a hot mustard sauce, Zach made Bacon weave cups, and Jess and Rod made Cucumber cups with caramelized onions and bacon.
They were all delicious and unique, but there could only be one winner.
So the trophy goes to...
My parents
The kids had a great time with a laundry basket...
And with boxing gloves. Monroe was wailing on Jensen.
That wrapped up our Christmas celebrations. It was great to see family and spend time together. We were blessed with so many new toys and gifts. This is one of Monroe's favorites:
It's her first dollhouse. She got it from my parents.
Merry Christmas everybody!
