Fredericksen Family Christmas 2013

We had our present opening with Trent's immediate family on the Monday before Christmas (Christmas Eve Eve). We had arrived at Trent's parents' house on Friday night, spent Saturday at Trent's Grandma's house, and then just hung out on Sunday.

It was great to be able to spend so much time with family. In the times that we weren't busy with structured get together s, it was nice to just hang out and spend time together playing games, watching movies, and just talking with each other.

heading our way on Saturday night.

Mid morning on Monday, Trent's sister and her family came over to start the fun. She brought some awesome Broccoli and Cheese soup and sandwiches and we had a great lunch. We then hung out and played some games in the afternoon. Even Jenna played some Bananagrams :)


Taylor and Mattie enjoyed watching some TV.




And then, after supper, it was time to open presents. Everyone was showered with great gifts and Trent and I really got some awesome things that we love.




Noah's Ark to Taylor from Trent

Taylor gave Trent some meat and cheese. She made sure to warn
him that the cheese was kind of spicy!
Melodie made us some homemade lotion and gave us some nice,
comfy socks along with some other things.
And I love Jenna's face :)
