Our annual tradition when we are in SD/MN for Christmas is to spend Christmas Eve with Todd's grandparents and Todd's mothers side of extended family. Robin has 6 siblings all with kids so it was a big group. James was the first great grandchild on this side and his cousin Kayla and husband Matt just welcomed baby Anika Marie on Dec 9th. So now there are 2 great grandchildren. It was so fun getting to hold a newborn. It just makes you realize how fast they really grow. Todd's grandma Rose always makes Oyster stew(Scandinavian tradition) and chicken noodle soup(for those that don't like the Oyster stew), and of course everyone brings goodies to share! We also enjoy a Christmas program in which Todd's grandpa reads the story of Christmas and we listen to Christmas music by all those that play instruments.

The Great Grandchildren - James and Anika
These are a couple of clips from the Christmas program. Todd plays the saxophone in the program every Christmas Eve we are in MN. The second clip is of Todd's Uncle Steve singing "Frosty the Snowman". James wasn't too sure about that part of the evening!
