Christmas Eve and Day were quiet but wonderful family days at our home. Funny how 12 years of marriage have changed the way we want to celebrate the Holidays!? Our first Christmas together as the Dirk and Nancy Morrison family started out with more than 12 hours waiting (and a little flying) travelling from Colorado to Sioux Falls. Dirk promised to never travel over Christmas again...The next Christmas Dirk went skiing with a friend the early part of the day, then returned home to a very unhappy wife (hadn't started that way, just found out I didn't want to be ALONE on Christmas?!!)...
Now we can't imagine our family holiday time any other way, except home with our kids... experiencing the traditions ... creating memories... and a little extra spoiling with presents and fun Christmas Day!
Dirk took out the sleds and ATV... pulled Thor around the yard until there wasn't enough snow to pull the sled anymore! !
Then he took Liv out for a "walking pull"... she liked being outside, but not the sled as much! 
Moeller/Morrison Family Christmas
Saturday we spent the day at my parent's home with my brother Ted and his family.
Before we opened gifts, Grandma wanted to hear some singing and reading. Anika sang "In a little Stable" and Thor read the Christmas Story from Luke 2. 
Later we enjoyed a wonderful family evening skating at the Roosevelt Park Ice Area.
Anika was a little disappointed she couldn't skate better... as she skated/walked around the rink she was saying (out loud) to herself "I'm working hard today so I can skate better next time..." 
Abbie and Anna were great skaters too, especially for having only skated once before. 
Jan was the designated babysitter for Theo -- he was a very happy boy... watching, smiling and waving as we skated by... and waved to him through the glass.
