Troyer Christmas 2009!

As I put in blogs previous...I was very excited for Christmas this year. The Troyer family Christmas was no exception...it was such a wonderful weekend! It's crazy what a difference little children make. Even though 2 of these children have no idea that it was Christmas, they won't remember it nor did they care about their gifts; it was just so much fun to watch Isaiah, Leegan, Chloe and Quinn opening gifts, eating wrapping paper, dancing around and in general having a great time. I think it just somehow changes perspective for everyone. In my opinion, the best present of the year was the PJ's G'ma made for all the grandkids. They were adorable! She made little pants and bboty/slippers in matching fabric for the boys and matching fabric for the girls. I'm not sure Quinn really cares at this point but Isaiah didn't take them off for an entire day once we were home!

We went home for a long weekend. Last year we started a tradition of the men cooking Christmas dinner/lunch. It went so well we thought it should continue (at least the women did), so continue it did! Meanwhile, the ladies left the house, went out for coffee and a bagel and played some word games at Panera. Once again, the men did a fabulous job and we ate more than we needed to! We also celebrated Brent's completion of college with a cake and some singing! (CONGRATS BRENT! We are very proud of you!) We spent the evening opening presents, playing "4 on a couch" (much to the dismay of Scott & Seth who were not fans), "Would you Rather?" and other games. The rest of the weekend was spent playing games, eating more food, watching movies, football outside, sledding and just being together.

I love you family!
