Christmas morning begins with opening gifts from everyone and checking out what Santa brought.
 |
| The newly engaged couple! Congrats again you two! |
After gifts we all look for the pickle ornament on the tree which holds our first clue to the treasure hunt. My parents started doing this for us when we really young and we love it. The clues are usually Bible verses or some kind of riddle that somehow tells us where to go next. They always incorporate new things or memories from the previous year in each stop.
This year the clues were from this song/skit YouTube video we have all watched and repeated over and over for months. It is goofy but it cracks us up. It's called Earl Dibbles Jr Country Boy.
Anyway here are pics of each clue location.

We went to Brooke and Clark's and opened gifts and cooked my favorite meal we all cook together:
flank steak, scalloped potatoes and a salad.

We had a wonderful holiday packed with lots of fun and family.
