Dschaak Christmas

On Christmas Day we drove to Grand Forks to spend the day with the Dschaaks at the hotel. We had a great day of swimming, opening gifts and just hanging out having fun.

Love this picture of Parker!

Paige had to open the biggest present first

But surprise, there were just more wrapped boxes inside

Swimming

Paige going down the slide (like 50 times)

Tired after swimming, thank goodness for technology (notice Parker is watching a movie on the Kindle while playing a game on Chas's phone)

 The next day we went to the water park for more swimming:

I think fun was had by all! Merry Christmas to everyone, we hope you all had as wonderful of a holiday as we did!

Cermak Christmas

Christmas Eve was spent with the Cermaks this year. I wasn't going to travel too far at 36 weeks so Christmas came to my house.  Luckily mom took over all the cooking - so I had a very nice relaxing day.

 And Santa even came on Christmas morning

What a great holiday!

Creative Christmas Gift

Here's the only creative thing I made for Christmas (of course it was an idea I found on Pintrest). On the Cermak side we exchange "creative" gifts instead of regular presents between my siblings.

This year I made these:

Supplies: styrofoam cones (12" & 18"), scrapbooking paper, hot glue gun, felt, buttons/decorations

Scrapbooking paper cut in 1" x 2.5" pieces and rolled up with a pencil

Glued on the tree

and finished.

Warning: They turned out cute... But it took 7 hours to make these 4!!
