The Bina Family Blog: Christmas 2012

I am finally sitting down to do a xmas recap....seems like it was so long ago! We had a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of family time. It was busy, we started on Saturday Dec. 22nd, we went to Bemidji and met up with the Wille family. The kids exchanged gifts and we ate a great turkey dinner together. It was nice to get together with friends during the holidays. Sunday we spent with the Marynik family. We started with a mass said in honor of Tony's grandma and grandpa. Followed by brunch and a gift exchange. That evening we exchanged gifts with just our immediate family, it was great to have some family time and open gifts together. Monday we did our annual skate at the Purpur with family, Carter wasn't feeling too good, he came down with a cold and was sleeping so I stayed home with him. Afterward we went with the Schultz family to church and back to Grandma & Grandpa Schultz's for dinner & gifts. A night filled with tons and tons of gifts! Logan was in love with all of his new presents, but totally exhausted. On Christmas day we got up and opened our Santa gifts, Logan was in love with his hockey guys! Afterward, we spent the rest of the day with the Bina family. Lots more gifts for everyone and fun times for the grandkids. Later in the afternoon we went to my parents again for more extended family time. Unfortunately Carter burnt his hand on the fireplace and that put a small damper on the day. His hand bubbled up pretty good and we are so thankful he is doing better now, pretty scary at first. All of this in just 4 days, wow! Many pictures showing our festivities below!!!

This is Logan's buddy Rocco the Elf. He kept Logan in line during the xmas season. We were sad to say goodbye to Rocco and look forward to him coming back next year!!
