Kuiper family Christmas

This year, the Kuiper family Christmas party had a big hole in it... We missed all of our out of state family terribly. Only 4 of the 9 kids were there! It just wasn't the same... but in spite of that, we managed to have a great time. For the first time, we decided to do an early afternoon party on a Sat. (Dec. 20). We went to Charlie's Dump by dad and mom's house, and went sledding, which was a riot. The kids had a great time. I didn't take my camera sledding, and Brad's battery went dead shortly after we got there, but Dana got some shots on real film, so I'll have to wait for her to old school develope them, and them, and then I can post some... Then we headed back to dad and mom's for appetizers and hot chocolate. Then the kids opening their presents, and by then we were all so stufed we couldn't even think about supper... so we ate supper at like 7:30. But we played games, and it was a good time. I should have taken more pics... all I really got was one of each grandkid opening presents.... so sorry for the lack of adult pics, but here you go.....
