Christmas Recap- part 1

To kick off our Christmas holiday, we started with the Berning Christmas. We had a great day filled with good food, outdoor activities, a Nativity scene reenactment, Christmas caroling, presents, and fun family games. Here are Grandma & Grandpa B with their 20 grandkids. BACK row: Sam, Max, Tessa, Connor, Carter, Truman, Dorothy, Elly, Damien, & Grant. MIDDLE row: Willa, Grandma, Aloysius, Brielle, Karley, Wilson, Emma, Josie, John, Grandpa & Lincoln. FRONT row: Pierce.

The kids had fun playing outside for a couple hours that afternoon. Here's Brielle in a fort built by the expert-snow-fort-builder, Uncle Donny. Donny builds great snow forts at the farm and at his house.

Matt & Tim took turns driving the Gator & pulling the kids in 2 sleds behind them. This was a highlight for the kids as they enjoyed the fast rides, quick turns & bumps around the farm. Even some of the adults took their turns riding in the sleds... and some of the kids were driving :).

Brielle spent a lot of time with her cousins finding kittens in the barn. Brielle says that the "mean" cats run away. She likes to try and catch the "nice" kittens and carry them around.

The kids also enjoyed pony rides. Brielle was feeding Patches some snow :)

The next day, John spent hours playing with his new train set from his godfather, Matt.
