12-28-09 to 12-31-09 Monday to Thursday


Monday when we got back to the farm, Grandma Doris had one more present to give.  She got Bandit a doggie sweater.  I think he really appreciated it in that blistering cold weather we were having.

Tuesday the kids were still playing inside with their toys.  Jaydon and Cassie were rockin out.  Cassie was singing a song she just made up.

Wednesday the Huskers played in the Holiday Bowl and won BIG!!!!!!  We were going to head back to Denver today, but our van was making some weird noises.  So we stayed and Corey and one of Dad's neighbors worked on it.

Meanwhile, I pulled the kids sledding.  They had a great time, even though it was still pretty cold.  Dad scooped a trail in the big drifts with his blue tractor.  I was glad the Polaris has a heater in it!  I stayed pretty toasty while pulling them around.

Thursday...12-31-09...Ah...the last day of the year.  We came back to Denver today.  It took quite a while to get everything unpacked and back to normal.  We usually host a New Year's Eve party at our house for our neighbors and friends, but this year we just couldn't.  So, the Gallagher's offered and we all had a great time at their house.  The best party game even invented is "Catch Phrase"!  We get that our whenever we have a party and everyone has a great time!  Oh, this year I decided to display Christmas photos and cards on my metal wall hanging that you see when you come in my front door. 

12-24-09 to 12-27-09 Thursday to Sunday


Christmas Eve we traveled to Hay Springs and were able to open gifts with Grandma Doris, Mom and Dad, Kami, Cade and Cassie.  When we got there, Grandma was making popcorn balls and cinnamon twists.  Yum!!!




Christmas Day:  After the kids played with the gifts from Santa, we went to Staab's house.  We all posed for our annual Christmas picture.  We try to do this every year so we can see how much our family has grown.

Saturday:  The boys modeled their new PJ's.  I think they stayed in them all day.  The weather was bad and all roads in the area were closed.  The wind was blowing 50 mph and it was freezing.  The dogs didn't even want to go out in it!  But we had a great time, lounging around, playing cards and watching the kids play with all their new toys!

Sunday:  During the football game, Kylan crawled up on Uncle Corey's lap and fell asleep.  I think they were both out by the end of the game.
