Merry Christmas!

I won't be at the computer for a long time, so I am giving an early Christmas greeting! We decided not to do cards this year, but I will hopefully post a good New Years letter for everyone to read. We leave tomorrow morning, and so far the flight is on time (not cancelled), when we get home, I will let you know how it all went!

Now off to Virginia! :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

4 days 'til Christmas!

We are all getting so excited to get to Virginia on Thursday for Christmas! Of course this is the year that Virginia is deciding to have a "white Christmas" and may damper some of the plans (like getting there on time). Dave, Vince's brother, has already had to reschedule once and I hope we don't have to do the same--since we get in Christmas Eve.

Word has it that they may get up to 20 inches on top of the already fallen 10 inches!!

I am no fan of the snow, but especially when we have to travel. Daniel, in his prayers every night, will ask for us to "please not crash in the plane". Funny, yet I may be with him on that now that the weather is terrible. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving at our house. Ray/Julie, Mom/Dad S., Grandma D., Mike/Myla and kids all came. We had to wait a little bit for the turkey to get done, but other than that we had a wonderful time! My first ranch cheeseball was a success and we got to throw the football around a bit. In the evening, we prepared for the bittersweet shopping of Black Friday. :) I don't have any pictures except of the kids making some apple turkeys with marshmallow tailfeathers. My mom got the idea from Marci's (my sister-in-law) family and it seemed to be a big hit!

Happy Birthday Ashley!

I have been terrible about updating this lateley, but we had a very fun birthday party on November 14th. Lots of family, friends and presents!! (More than she needed of course!) She turned 3 and now loves to tell you..."Me thee!" and trys really hard to show you with her fingers. Very cute! Her favorite present was the stroller and baby which she takes everywhere.

Her cake ended up being a rainbow because I asked her what she wanted and she said "Ashley like pink, Ashley like purple, Ashley like blue, Ashley like yellow."
