NEW YEARS EVE

Its crazy to think that we are already starting a new year. Time just seems to speed by a little bit faster as the years go by. For New Years Eve we went to my parents. We usually build a sledding hill but unfortunately there wasnt enough snow to make a decent one. Instead we had a great meal and then just lounged around and watched TV. So exciting I know. As the evening reached the hour of midnight thats when we all started acting alive. We played a little Wii and had some sparkling cider to welcome in the new year. Happy 2009!!

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

Every year on Christmas, my family builds a snowman. It was great fun this year as it is every year. My sister-in-law Breann and I decided that this year we were going to try to make "Frosty The Snowman". Since a regular snowman just has three balls of snow, we wanted to add legs. It turned out great and looks pretty cool. We were unable to do the finishing touches because of night fall and the drop in temperature so "Frosty" is to be continued...

The snowman ended up being about 12 feet high. And as you can see in the first picture. We had to use a ladder to put the head on.

CHRISTMAS EVE & CHRISTMAS DAY

For Christmas Eve this year we went to Mike's parents for dinner and other activities. Mikes family does the nativity each year where everyone gets a part and acts it out. Since Mike has such a large family, not everyone was involved but we had alot of fun seeing everyone in such creative costumes. Everyone had to improvise at the last minute so some of the costumes look a little silly. Quinton dressed as a wise man.
Aleena was baby Jesus since she is the smallest out of the most recent grand kids.

We had a great christmas this year. It started at 6:30 am and was full of excitement. Quinton came running into our room yelling "Santa came!" He had alot of fun ripping open his presents and playing with all his cool toys that santa brought. After all the presents were opened, we decided to get ourselves ready so we could go up to Grandma and Grandpa's house. My brother and his family come over and we opened more presents and were all suprised with a gift my parents had gotten for the family. The present was a Wii. And so from there on out thats pretty much all we did was play with the Wii. It is sooo much fun and very addicting. Christmas was a blast and as always I hated to see it end.
