Christmas in Palestine


Well, I got caught up in the holidays and have slacked on updating our blog. So, in this post I'm taking you back to December 17th. We celebrated our Berg Christmas in Palestine with everyone that Saturday and it ended up being so much fun! Sharon had the house decorated all cute, and the food was fabulous! I love going to Palestine because it's always so relaxing. There's not a ton of stores to shop at or things to do, so we love to go there and just hang out. It's so much fun with everyone there! Here are some cute pics that Bob took to capture the day.

Sharon, Addie, and Maggie. I love this picture!
Joe can pretty much be found wherever the kids are! He loves to wrestle and play with the boys. Jack is such a fun boy and so stinkin' cute!
Sharon and Chloe. This is another one of my favorites!
Addie LOVES the tree swing! Every time we're there she loves to spend time swinging.
Dave and Joe playing with the kiddos in the back yard. Check out all the tall trees that are around their house. It's so pretty!
Jack and Uncle Joe Joe.
This little dog wandered over from the neighbor's house and the kids absolutely loved him! They get scared of big dogs, but they followed this little dog everywhere! Jack made me laugh so hard because I asked him "Jack, do you need a puppy?" and his response was "No, puppies turn into big dogs and I don't like big dogs!" ha ha! His sweet little voice just makes you melt!
Grandma Sharon reading Maggie a story.

Grandpa and his girls!
Before dinner the kids got to open their presents. Grayson is such a cutie pie! He's walking and can kick a little soccer ball while doing so! He has the sweetest smile and he loves his Uncle Joe Joe.
Addie loved Grayson and Chloe. She's going to be the best big sister to their new baby soon!

Serena and I helped Sharon get the veggie tray made and had fun doing it! Don't you love her cute scarf! She's so pretty!

Ha ha this picture just makes me laugh! We have fun together!
Sharon had the tables set so nicely and their tree was so pretty!
Anthony is the best turkey carver I've ever seen! He had the tray so neat and organized and all the pieces were pretty uniformly cut! I love this picture with the three brothers!
This is the only picture of all the good food! There are some good cooks in the Berg Family! Pretty sure I gained at least 10 pounds!=) ha ha! Look at Julie's cute baby bump! She looks fabulous!
Joe's Grandma Norma( at the head of the table) and Bob's sister Susan to the right. The cute lady on the left is Norma's friend Anne.
After dinner we all gathered into the piano room and sang some Christmas songs and opened presents.
All the adults that want to participate bring a present and then we play the game where you can steal presents from each other! It's always SO much fun! The kids loved helping everyone unwrap their gifts.

Norma brought this fun little remote control car, and when it was her turn she picked it. It immediately got stolen=) What a fun grandma! Ha ha!

Bob with his Kids. What a good looking family!
The whole Berg Clan! Love this family!
