Good-Bye 2008 **** HELLO 2009

CHRISTMAS

Christmas came so fast this year. Usually we have all our goodies made and handed out a week before Christmas. This year was a big ooops. We didn't even get the chance to make anything let alone hand anything out. Andra flew in on Dec 16. Her flight was absolutely horrible, going from being cancelled to flying in at 11:00 pm instead of 1:00 pm. We were just happy she made it. The next day we went from piano recital/eating lunch at Makenna's school to a program with the activity day girls. All week we also had a 2 hour delay because of all the snow we got. The week was crazy but still great. Andra's husband was suppose to fly in on Dec 20 but got stranded half way through his flight in Denver and didn't get here till Dec 22. We picked him up at the airport on our way out of town to Schweitzer. We got there on Monday evening and stayed till Friday. It was a great week filled with snowboarding, Santa, hot chocolate, and PRESENTS!!!! I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say we had a great Christmas week.

New Years

New years my brother, his wife, and 3 kids came. We ate tons of yummies, played Wii, dominoes, watched tv, lit fireworks, pulled popper confetti and all around partied it up. It was great fun. We had a total of 6 adults and 9 kids ages: 11, 9, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5 mo. Burger King saw us a few times this week and I think we scared everyone else off. Anyways, New Years morning a friend of ours told us about a group of people that jumped into the Columbia River. At 12:00 we met up with this group and Jared, Berek, and Ben took the plunge. It was great to watch. The day was a bit cold so I'm sure their bodies were frozen for quite a while. We ended that adventure with going to Country Gentlemen for cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE
