Johnson/Battaglia Christmas

In the morning Steve, Jack, and I went over to G & G Johnson's house to celebrate Christmas. We ate breakfast early and then opened some gifts. This was Jack's first time opening any gifts, and although he really couldn't do it by himself, he seemed to enjoy the wrapping paper and his new toys.

Once we were finished there, we headed up to Superior Shores in Two Harbors for the Battaglia family Christmas. The drive up was a little slow since we got about another 8 inches of snow all throughout the day. Once we arrived we all gathered together in one of the suites to see each other and eat. It seems like every year the family seems to be getting bigger and bigger, with Jack being a wonderful addition.

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of happy family all wrapped up in each other.
