Happy New Year

Emma and her mommy and daddy want to wish you all a wonderful 2010!

Hi everyone,

Wanted to write a quick note to let you all know our Christmas may not have been exactly as we planned it, but we were so glad to have some of you able to come. We sure enjoyed having you. Of course it was a real treat to see baby Emma again. She is getting so big and smiley. Alex spent a lot of time putting a blanket over her, cause obviously babies are supposed to be covered! Won't be so long and she will be chasing around like the twins. So, thanks David and Jill for being courageous enough to brave a S. D blizzard to fly in; and thanks to Jeannie and Jason who picked them up, gave them a place to sleep, and drove in Saturday's not so nice weather to our place. Good thing Dave and Melissa and crew don't have too far to come to these things. Of course, I am sure Zach would have brought everyone from anywhere on his snowmobile. Hope you are all rested up and recovered from the celebrating! None of us will forget this Christmas!

We missed your families, Terry and Bobbie. Hopefully, we'll see each other before too much more time passes. (Weather permitting). The white elephant went quite well this year. No sign of the owl, though. Guess we have his home narrowed down a little bit, huh?

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you all, we are blessed to have such responsible, caring kids.
Who would have known 20 years ago when you were pounding each other to a pulp, that you would have grown up so well! Love, Mom

Merry Christmas - we miss everyone!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

I hope this finds you all having a wonderful Merry Christmas. It is still snowing pretty good here, as I suppose it is up there also. We took a drive around noon today to see if we could get to the city's snow hill. We got out of our neighborhood, but couldn't find anywhere by the snow hill to park and also realized once we got out of our sheltered area that it is still really blowing too. So, we came back home. We had a hard time getting on the side streets, so I think we are staying put for a while.

I really miss seeing everyone, but I do hope you are having a great holiday at your homes.

Here's a little message from our home to yours!!

Christmas Contingency Plans

Well, I don't know what they are predicting up north, but if what they are saying holds true about down here, we may not be able to travel safely until possibly Sunday. I am hoping it goes south, or isn't as bad so we can at least come on Saturday morning and make the party.

Just wondering what everybody's schedules are for the end of the weekend and into early next week? Just curious in case we have to wait to come up later.

I'm still crossing my fingers that they are way wrong. Kevin thinks I'm delusional, though! :-)

This isn't the way I had the White Christmas thing planned out. We were all supposed to get there easily, have the party Saturday, get a light snow that night, sled on Sunday, all travel home safely and easily Monday. I don't ask for too much, do I??
