MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas and safe travels to all!

Just a few pics we've taken recently.

Here we are with my Grandpa. We stopped to visit him for a few minutes on our way to MT. He's 91 and still lives on his own.

I just had to add this one. Alex got his first penalty last week and had to do some 'time.'


Eagerly awaiting to open gifts

Merry Christmas!

Living so far away from our families we've come to realize that just because you aren't related doesn't mean you can't be 'family.' So to all of our relatives that can't be here in MT with us, we hope you're celebrating Christmas with your other 'families' and we hope to see you here next year. To all of our 'families' in Brookings we wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Alex and Ryan will be making their way back to Brookings with just a couple of new toys. They received a Wii (I was personally really hoping they'd get one. Nothing like beating a couple of kids at a game to make yourself feel better), bows and arrows (can anyone say ER trip..lol), Nintendo DS (now they won't have to fight over the one we've got), electric guitar and hockey sticks just to name a few. I don't have enough room to name them all, but they are certainly spoiled and loved all of their gifts.

Tomorrow we'll be heading to Whitefish to for a little skiing/snowboarding. I proposed we leave at around 9. My dad thought earlier, like 8. And then he said we'd compromise and leave at 7:30am. So...7:30 it is. I'm still not really sure how that's a compromise, but the term 'shopping' was thrown into the mix and I was on board for that. They've had plenty of snow and it's supposed to be above zero so a good time will be had by all. :)
