{cool tractor}

There are so many traditions on Christmas day that we didn't want to miss out on any of them this year since we weren't there last year. My Grandma and Grandpa Russell have a late lunch at their place every year. The poor kids were so tired but we took them anyway, no nap and all.
It was so fun to see everyone on my dad's side of the family. I haven't seen a lot of them for awhile.
My favorite part was talking with my cousin Tyler. I love that kid!! We have been friends for a long time. It was awesome to actually get to sit down and talk about everything.
After we decided the kids had dealt with enough for the day we decided to head back to the Rabe's. When we stepped outside to go to the car Nolan spotted the huge tractor that my Grandpa had in his garage. Nolan couldn't resist and climbed aboard. He was loving it! It was so hard to pull him away when we really needed to go. I'm sure you can all relate. It was a great day at the Russell's!
