Christmas Day

We had a wonderful Christmas in Chicago at Grandma Rasmus's house! Madison left cookies and milk for Santa, which I am sure he enjoyed. She received a couple of Barbies and some Dora toys. Santa also brought a new game, Candyland, which Maddie loves to play. It was a great day. After opening lots of toys, we went over to Auntie Chris's house for Christmas dinner. Uncle Bill fried a turkey, which was incredible. Chris and Bill's children (BJ, Jackie and Amanda) are so grown up and we are so proud of them. I am overwhelmed with how generous and wonderful they are to their grandmother. It was great to spend time with the whole family. Joan and Joyce gave Maddie a Cabbage Patch new born baby and she named her Karly. More than likely, the name comes from Karly Fisch, daughter of Jenny and Tom, who Maddie saw in the hospital when she was born. What a memory!
