It was a great Christmas Eve at the Aune household in Hibbing. We sure missed those families traveling afar. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re waiting to hear if Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s family saw Santa and his reindeer from the plane late last night.<\/p>\n

The day went quickly. We headed got to Rick and Sue\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s around 5 and had a great dinner. There was lots of visiting, the usual Christmas exchange (I got some Door County gifts \u00e2\u20ac\u201c complete with Christmas wine!), and an evening of being entertained by the kids.<\/p>\n

We headed to the 11:00 church service last night. I loved the song selection! The sermon was good. I think our new pastor is great. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m really excited about getting back into our congregation in the hopefully not so far future. Another part of Christmas Eve church that I love is seeing old friends. I got to catch up with Brett Schelde and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll hopefully get a few folks together for dinner or drinks one night this week.<\/p>\n

Santa came last night, and I was the first awake (at 6:30) to peek under the tree. Dad humors us, or perhaps we humor him! Bill\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gift to Dad was a hit \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a toy helicopter which spent quite a bit of time stuck in various trees today! We all got lots of fun presents, but it was even more fun to watch Brock and Isaak dig into theirs.<\/p>\n

We headed to Mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s for 1:00 lunch. Again we did lots of visiting AND EATING! Mom made the requested buster bar dessert. It was delicious. After opening presents we played Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture edition. The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Roaming Gnomes\u00e2\u20ac\u009d were the big winners.<\/p>\n

Now we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re back at home unwinding. Hopefully tomorrow will bring some snowmobiling and more relaxing. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m attempting to add some new Christmas pictures with the promise of more to come. Go check them out! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
