Thanks to the small snow storm that ran through Billings, we didn't head to Sheridan until Christmas Eve. I'm really glad we waited though, there was still a trace of the bad roads as we drove down. After we arrived, we all put Abby to work. Poor Ab. She cut and colored my hair, and cut Tyler and Joe's hair. All the while, Joe was making Italian Beef for dinner. It was SO good. Don't tell Jason, but Joe has a recipe, and it was super easy. I could probably even pull it off. : ) After dinner, of course, came presents. 
I couldn't believe how blessed we are. Everyone got a ton of great stuff. The living room looked like a bomb went off and left trash everywhere. The kids had a blast. We spent the rest of the evening putting together toys and watching the kids play.
After the kids were in bed, Santa stopped by, and left even more stuff for the kids. Lucky for Joe and I, all three boys slept in until 7, then we all made our way to the living room for another round of gifts. CRAZY! They got way too much stuff. 
Abby and Chris came over in the afternoon, and Chris brought the special tooth pulling pliers. They worked great, Ethan's tooth had been ready to come out for days, but I couldn't get a hold of it to pull it out. Now he just looks ridiculous.
Joe fried a turkey and we had all the fixins with it. It was SO good, but so much food. 
After lunch, we watched Abby open her birthday gifts. She was disappointed because we didn't get her a cake, but little did she know, we had a plan. But to make her feel better, Chris and I took her out to the bar, and hung out. It was fun. 
Yesterday, I put Abby to work again. Both boys needed a haircut, and she had an apron and stuff, so it was less mess. Ethan picked that he wanted red hair again, so Abby was busy. 
Then, after telling a few lies, and sneaking around, we got Abby to her surprise birthday party at the Sheridan Inn. She was super surprised, and everyone had a great dinner and a lot of fun. 
All Abby really wanted for her birthday was a "fancy cake". Lucky for me and my connections, we got her this. It was perfect and tasted great.

We are heading home tomorrow, weather permitting. Hope you all had a great Christmas. There is an album to the right with the rest of our Christmas pictures.
