Christmas Vacation (part one) in North Dakota

We spent about 10 days in North Dakota (with Chad's family) and then about 10 days in Kentucky (with Angela's family) over the Christmas/New Year's Holidays.
We enjoyed family and friends.  This post is about our visit to ND....

We spent the first night with Chad's sister and family in Gilby.  Here Rose is playing with her cousins cats...

We had a couple of days with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson before the rest of the family came in.  Rose had a precious time playing and playing with Grandma....



Chad helped Grandpa with some technology stuff...

More family came in and on Christmas Eve we went caroling at the Nursing Home and Assisted Living Center....
Movie time with cousin.......
Rose....

At Grandpa and Grandma's church on Christmas morning.....
Rose got to sing with the girls (she also did her signing of Silent Night).......
Chad's parents are very musically talented so we all go up and sing a special as a family (those that know me well, don't laugh!..I think the others make up for MY lack of talent...at least that is what I hope) :).....
Family photo after the Christmas service....

More family came in and Rose had a blast playing with cousins....

Actually everyone enjoys playing games....
A nice thing about having musically talented grandparents is singing Christmas Carols before sharing the Christmas story and opening presents....

Our nephew (the one in black standing behind Rose) was able to recite from memory Luke chapter 2  (the Christmas story) to us.......

The day before we left it finally snowed....
