Thanksgiving was hosted at our house, and it all turned out great. I, of course, rush around making sure everything I can control, IS controlled, and I need to learn to chill out-ha! But all in all, it went over great. It was fun hosting at our house, and we can't wait to do it in the coming years!
The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas went super fast this year, and we had plenty of visitors (which we LOVE) Tom and Cullen were here for Thanksgiving, and then Caitie and Bret (the newly engaged couple!) were here in December. We also had Nathan's work Christmas party in Omaha-that is a blog in and of itself, so stay tuned!
Christmas Eve was held at my parents, just like always, with my Grandma and Grandpa Foreman coming over for supper and opening family gifts! It was a lot of fun, and Gunnar was on overload with everything! He charmed us with his funny faces, pretending to read the Christmas story with Grandma, and showing off his new camo slippers! Nathan, Gunnar, and I went to the kids service earlier at church, to watch the kids perform, while Mom, Dad, Ev, and Julie, went to the candlelight service at 10:30 that night!
Christmas morning was fun with just the 3 of us! Gunnar opened his Santa gifts, and then we rushed off to church! After church we ate lunch at my parents, and then came down to our house! We were having Prime Rib, twice baked potatoes, fresh buns, and corn...a perfect meal in my eyes! :) My parents were invited down for this yummy supper, and we enjoyed hosting them!
Sunday was church, and then the Foreman Christmas over at Schaller! We had everyone home for Thanksgiving, so Christmas was a little more sparse, with half the clan being in Texas!
Since then, work has continued on! I now have 3 homes to clean, along with the Funeral Home, so that keeps me hopping again! Nathan got given (and achieved) a wonderful Christmas bonus from Platinum. It was a nice surprise since neither of us has worked for someone that gives THAT big of bonus out! It was reflected upon his work, so needless to say, I was SO proud of him!
Here's some pictures of what's been going on at the Wagner household....
Gunnar and his chickens! "bakk bakks" as he would say!

The old country Church across the field from our house, I love seeing that view!
A hard days work, time for milk and cookies! :)

We have SO many things to be thankful for during this Holiday season and all year through! Thanks for checking in with us, and don't be afraid to stop in if you're in the area! Happy New Year!
