Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and family!!! This has been a very special Christmas for the Fagan clan. The boys will be spending next Christmas in Virginia with their mom and stepdad, so we tried to make this a special time for the three kids to be together. We decorated the house and tree on December 1st. Hunter, Colton and I also spent many evenings reading The Paperbag Christmas together. This was a wonderful Christmas story about two boys who are Hunter and Colton's ages. I think it was a wonderful way to help us all to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

We spent Christmas Eve with Craig's family. We had a wonderful prime rib dinner and opened presents. When we went outside to leave at about 9:00 pm, we were greeted with blizzard-like conditions. We definitely had a white Christmas this year!



After returning home from Grandma and Grandpa Fagan's house, we carried on the "Knutson Family Tradition" of opening presents on Christmas Eve. (The boys are very pleased to carry on that tradition!)

On Christmas day we had my family over to our house for another prime rib dinner. You can really never have too much prime rib, right??? ;-) Craig did a fabulous job with the meat! We also played a little pinochle, which is another Knutson tradition. Now I need to teach Craig, Hunter and Colton so we can carry it on. :-)


This has been a wonderful holiday season for our family. We feel so blessed! We wish all of our friends and family health and prosperity in 2009!
