This year was a Hagen/Bennett Christmas and was a blast! My family came into town for a few weeks for lots of late nights, games (bonanza anyone? Blokus?). Not to mention a quilting frenzy. Mom was thrilled that Naomi and I got so into it..a
nd we haven't stopped since she left. Some of the highlights were Mike and Me and our nativity debut as Mary and Joseph(there is nothing like giving birth to a plastic baby doll while wearing jeans and a bathrobe. For those that weren't there I couldn't stop laughing so I think I ruined the "moment"), Ian stinking up our living room, 9 adults cram
med into our little 2 bedroom townhouse, and everything you can imagine at a Hagen family event. gone and we miss you all.

e to see Melissa and her family(it's been a long time). Christmas day we spent at the Bennett's house and then came home for the feast to end all feasts(thank you mom!) After eating way too much we finished the night off with a Ha
gen tradition. Liver Pool Rummy(aka - a really long game of cards) Once everyone wussed out of that Ian and I stayed up until 3 AM playing the wii. I wouldn't quit until I beat him at tennis...well, thatwas the plan anyway. Needless to say that took a few late nights to acomplish but I finally did it. After all the fun everyone left us and we are so sad! Come back and visit soon.
