Burgau Christmas

Rachel bought the kids cute sweaters from Children's Place!

Snuggies were the gift of the year. Go Gophers!

Craig can now wear maroon and gold clothes as he has a cap to match!!

After we got plowed out of Heidi and Joel's, my Dad had to drive me home to get my things for the next Christmas...our street wasn't plowed so our van couldn't get through, so Dad took me in the truck. Rachel and Bryant made it back from Montevideo mid-afternoon. After everyone shoveled driveways and got organized we could finally have Xmas!! We had lots of presents to open, a wonderful dinner, margaritas, and a fun new game....Mexican train dominoes! We continued our tradition of staying over. Bryant even stayed this year (last year he walked home in a blizzard)...we stayed up after the kids went to bed playing dominoes. My parents surprised me with a new camera.....so I can continue blogging! YAY!!
What a GREAT weekend of Christmas's!!

Xmas Eve/Xmas Day/Day after Xmas!!

Is that a snow plow I see already?? We cheered as we saw a snowplow coming into the neighborhood...Brent even went out with bare feet to make sure he made it over to get us out!! 17 inches of snow and usually Heidi and Joel are the last in town to get plowed.....not this time. We all left sat. morning after my Dad and Craig took Joel's plow to our house and the Bergeson house!!!
The kids played great the whole time. The video games were a favorite.

Sign of a true Schwantz.....gotta like chips and dip! Austin fits right in. I was very proud of my pepper bowls.

Krista and I helped Heidi make her festive pancakes!

We moved Xmas to Heidi and Joel's due to bad weather predictions....turns out we would have been fine going to Connie and Steve's...but we still had fun!!! Here is Joel with his new Iowa snuggie...maybe it will make living in MN a little more fun??!!

Xmas Cookies....num!

Craig made sugar cookies and frosting from scratch....they worked very hard and they were very good!
