Every year on Thanksgiving weekend, we celebrate Christmas with the Heideman side of Greg's family because his grandparents live in Florida during winter. The party is held at his grandparents' home on Clover Leaf Lakes, which isn't too far from Shawano, and is always lots of fun. We do a gift exchange--bring a $20 gift, open in the order of the numbers that were drawn, and beware that your gift might be stolen, leaving you to steal someone else's or try for a new one from under the tree. We eat pretty much all day, play cards, and catch up with each other. This year there were 3 new babies--Max, Addison, and Audrey--all born within 6 weeks of each other. For the older girls (Sophia-5, Lucy-4, Nora-4, Ella-2, Lily-2), we set up an art table to keep them busy--it was great!
