Other Christmas Pictures

Here are some other pictures from the Mettler Christmas Extravaganza.

Beth and Abby are pretty much best friends now. Abby couldn't get enough.
Christmas Dinner #1 at the other Mettler's (Alex's aunt and uncle) house.
Present opening at the other Mettler's house.
Opening an early Christmas present from Barb--puzzles (both of which have already been put together and taken apart). No holiday is complete without a puzzle. Alex bought me a 2,000 piecer that we put together while we were still in MN. It was a doozie, and much harder to finish with distractions like Abby running around. I couldn't really work on it for 8 hours straight as is my wont. We did manage to finish it, but not until 1 am the morning of our departure. And it wouldn't have happened without a last ditch effort by the whole team. I think it was the first time I've seen ALL of the Mettler's working on a puzzle!
Christmas dinner #2 at the primary Mettler's house. So much good food.

Me hoarding a pile of presents on Christmas Eve. Can you believe that whole pile is for me or Alex? Crazy.
The woman largely responsible for the giant pile of Christmas presents seen above. To demonstrate to you the scale of Christmas at the Mettler's: after all the many, many presents had been carried down to the Christmas tree Barb said "Wait, let me check my notebook to be sure that's it." Notebook? You know you've bought too many presents when you need a notebook to keep track of them!
Beth and Abby having more fun.
Lazing around together.
