A Very Meinders Christmas

This year for our annual Meinders Christmas gathering we all met at Uncle Joel and Aunt Karen's house in Prairie City for the second year in a row. The late morning was filled with delicious 'brunch' food items and a crazy 'pass the present' game to the story of Jesus birth many years ago. But most importantly it was a time to get together as a family and enjoy each others company and catch up where we had left off the last time we had been together. Oh, and there was rock/tennis ball/football shooting to be done as well :)


Then we were off to the farm for yet another annual Meinders Christmas! The weather was absolutely beautiful with a temperature around 50, so the only thing the puppies wanted to do was run around outside all afternoon! After all the 'kids' arrived (minus Courtney and her husband Justin) we sat down to devour our Christmas meal of turkey, little smokies, 7-layer lettuce, corn & potatoes. After dinner was cleaned up we got the skype date with the Besteman's going and began the present-opening extravaganza together. It was a day filled with great memories and some amazing family :)
