Christmas Eve with the Oberholtzers

With the awful winter weather that we were hit with on Tuesday night, we weren't certain that we were going to make it across the state to celebrate Christmas. Thankfully, we caught a break on Wednesday morning and were able to make it by mid-afternoon. As is tradition, we spent Christmas Eve with the Oberholtzer crew (my mom's side of the family).

Before my aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandparents came to my mom's house for dinner, we opened presents from my parents and took a quick family picture. After dinner, we took Hannah up to my grandparents house to lay her down to sleep. Then we joined the rest of our family at my parents' church for their Christmas Eve service. After church, we went back to my grandparents to open more presents and have dessert.

As for presents, we were pleasantly surprised that Hannah didn't get totally spoiled. She got some learning toys from Aunt Courtney and Uncle Todd (of course!), a play cube from Great-Grandma and pa O, a baby CD player, some CD's and DVD's and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Cramer. Overall, it was a good mix. Speaking of presents, one of the highlight presents of the evening was the gift that my grandpa gave my grandma. Her job when they got married was running an adding machine at Buick, so he had my brother find an old original online. She totally lit up when she opened it. Then, of course, she had to explain to all of us youngsters how to operate it. Very neat.
