Christmas Eve in Minnesota...
...started out with a little movie watching...
 |
| Justin with his cousin, Kaitlyn |
...followed by a bit of snow fun...
 |
| Micah catching Dave with a snowball |
 |
| Justin counter-attacking |
 |
| Dave tackling Micah, tackling Justin with Kaitlyn wisely watching |
...while Betsy and Elissa were inside busily whipping up key lime and french silk pies...
 |
| Ready for Christmas Eve dinner |
But before we could eat a delicious dinner of prime rib, scallops, salad with blue cheese and candied pecans, cheesy mashed potatoes a la Jeffrey, corn, and homemade dinner rolls, a picture must be taken in the classic Carlson tradition
 |
| My brother, Jeff, and his wife Shelley, their kids Kaitlyn, Elissa, and Micah, | | Justin, me, and Dave, and my parents |
After dinner we split up guys vs. girls and had our 1st Annual Christmas Light Scavenger Hunt ("Dolphin?! Why would they even put a dolphin on the list?! Who would have a dolphin?!") I can't quite remember who won ;)
And, before he and Kaitlyn snuggled down in their temporary beds in the office, Justin put out his cookies for Santa:
