Christmas 2015: Part 1

We spent Christmas at home again this year ... a habit we are beginning to enjoy. Papa and Grandma Staude joined us for Christmas Eve (and several days beforehand) so that was a LOT of fun. Our feat was AMAZING: Grandma Alice's chicken wings...potstickers, cheese and sausage, raw beef and onions, little smokies.....shrimp, cookies, sparkling juice and so much more! Our tree was from a new tree farm near our church in Paw Paw (Badger tree farm) and we think it was the prettiest one we've EVER had ... not to mention that it barely shed any needles!! (And yes, in the photo below, Gabe is wearing a box ... he was making a storm-trooper outfit.) :)
