Merry Christmas

Well, talk about a "White Christmas"! Joe has been blowing snow since mid-November and the last week we've gotten lots and has had ice cycles on his mustache. This year we had our family Christmas a week early. Todd and Kristen hosted and we fun time watching the kids open gifts.
Jack hasn't quite gotten the idea of it yet, but Joey and Ella were more than happy to help him. Of course he had just gotten up from his nap and could have been wondering why everyone was there. We had our yummy Mexican menu lunch while he was sleeping. Lots of great food and later celebrated Dawn and Joe's Birthdays. We had a poker game going before opening gifts and Mike, Todd and Joey got some sliding in down Todd and Kristen's hill. I need to get some snow pants! Marc, Karen and Anthony had to leave early for their Christmas program at church and the roads were not the greatest. We were the last to leave for home.

Today will be different with no definite plans. Our friends, Jack and Jean had their family get together last night, so I think we are going to dinner with them.....at the Casino. At least we know it's open. This will also give Jean some distraction from her health issue. She's looking at having another brain surgery, so we're happy to spend time with them.

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Check out Dawn's blog: joeyandella.blogspot.com for pictures of our get together.
