Happy Holidays

We had a wonderful Christmas with our families!  There was even some snow on the ground this year which made it feel even more like Christmas.  We spent a few days sledding down the hill into our park.  It was great fun and definitely helped keep our busy little 1st grader entertained.  We will be spending New Year's in McCall once again this year.  Curtis will be turning "36" on December 30th and skiing in McCall is what he always loves to do for his birthday.  We are excited to get Paige back on her skis.  Last year all she wanted to do was go through the trees with her daddy.  We will see what this year brings :)

What a December!

So far our "usually" fun preparation for Christmas has not been so joyous.  Thank God for our sweet little Paige who keeps us preoccupied and laughing at all times!

Here's a little recap of what the past 16 days have brought to our home.  We have been very excited to have our furnace and A/C replaced.  Well, this took place last week with nothing but head aches, back aches, smoke inhalation, a broken pipe and holes in the sheet rock.  We are slowly in repair mode which brings a  house full of sheet rock dust and yucky wallpaper removal.  Paige and I have pulled out only half of our Christmas decorations this year.  She has been so busy with her school and after school activities it hasn't seemed to affect her at all.  Phew!

To help get us in the Christmas spirit, we have enjoyed a few holiday festivities.  We love to take part in the tree lighting ceremony at Locomotive Park, watch the Christmas parade in Clarkston and, most of all, listen to Paige sing in her school Christmas concert and dance at her Christmas dance recital.

There are only two days of school left until Christmas vacation.  Paige is not very happy about that as she loves school so much.  We will have Christmas Eve in Juliaetta, Christmas morning at home and then traveling to the Tri-Cities to spend the day with the Fryer Family.  We will then be hitting the ski slopes ! 

Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas
