Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! We had a fun xmas and break. We woke unexpected early on Wed am and thought we need to leave then instead of Thursday. We woke the kids at 5 am, packed and were out the door by 6:30 am to beat the snow storm in Mn! Glad we did, it started snowing as we crossed the Mn border. We had rain most of the way there. The kids did great as they were tired and slept =) and Jake did great too! He had the whole back to himself to sprawl out and snooze. We stayed with Doug & Lisa and the kids had a blast-me too! Thank you for having us! Jake and Molly had fun too playing in the snow. As you can see the Darling Divas here........listening to the Ipod. We went to church xmas eve and woke to find Santa came! He found the Ohio kids in Becker =) We saw gma/gpa on Saturday for xmas and went sledding with all aunts/uncles and gpa on Sunday! Maddy was too scared to go down the hill herself. She's the pink ball in gpa's lap. Brent went down 37 times he said-he was keeping track! Everyone had so much fun and it was wonderful weather to be out. We went to Carol's for pizza and to spend the night. Scott, kids and Doug went home Monday and Hayley and I met Paige and Sarah for dinner =) Thank you gals for a fun night!!

We left Tuesday, had a good trip home. Wednesday we opened presents from Santa (he stopped here too) and other gifts we didn't have room to take with. Gpa/gma were supposed to come back with us but gma is not feeling good so in a few weeks they'll be here =)

We had a good New Year's eve. The kids watched the ball drop and Maddy fell asleep on the floor before then. It's back to school, work, the usual. The kids had a 90 minute school delay on Tuesday due to the 2 inches of snow we had. Today school is canceled because of the 3-5 inches we're supposed to get here sometime today. Mind you it hasn't started snowing yet! I guess I'd rather have the kids home then have dangerous roads this afternoon getting them home. So who knows if there's school tomorrow.

God bless you in this new year!
