I find it hard to believe Christmas is behind us...  You plan for months, and its over with in an Hour.... If you're lucky.

We had a Wonderful Christmas....  and its stretch out over a few Days.  Jenny and her Family came in on Thursday the 18th.  We had a Big snow storm the day before..... So We were Glad when she called to say they were Staying the night in Missoula. They got in around 11 30 that morning.  Course the girls got their Snow gear on and Headed out to play in the snow.  And Course Jappy got the tractor out and started moving snow.

We woke to 33 inches of Snow  That was in One day.... Ronny couldn't get the 4 wheeler out of the barn.....  So we plowed the Driveway out by hand.... Just the one side.  So they could get the car in....Ron had a tumor removed off his Right hand on the 17th... so He was no Help with the plowing....It was Beautiful out.... but VERY COLD   and more snow on the way.....

It took Most of the afternoon to get things plowed out... Then they got the sleds hold to the back of the 4 wheeler and Had a Ball...

I stayed in and kept the Hot chocolate coming... and the fire going.

Our house was Full, but we Loved Every Minute of it.

Friday night Bob and Cathy came in..  Jappy was kind enough to go and pick them up at the airport.  We  played Hand and foot and ate snacks until they got here....  

Saturday was Ron and Jaiden Birthday.  We had a BIG Pizza party with Family and Friends.  The CdA Press came out and did a story on them.  It was in the CDA PRESS on Sunday.

Sunday we were able to attend Church as a Family....  We took up a Whole Row.  What a wonderful feeling it was to be surrounded by our Children... and Grand Children.  It was a GREAT DAY

Quite a undertaking to Cook for That many..... and the Clean UP......  So much FUN....

It was Hard to say good bye to the Jeppsen's Monday morning...  They left around 10 30.... and it turn out to be a Lousy trip home.  over 12 hours..... No more driving home in Dec..... I had to keep calling to see how they were doing and Where they were at..

With the amount of snow we got...around 38 inches, we shovel off our place, the shop, and the green house.  On Christmas Eve we headed up to Grandma Gordon's and Got her roof done also.  So for payment we took everyone to Outback.  Course I loved that part...... NO Cooking or CLEAN UP.  We had a wonderful time.....  Then we drove down to the Resort to walk around and Check out the lights.  I Couldn't believe it was the Day before Christmas...

Christmas Morning  Everyone helped with Breakfast.  We had French toast, pancakes, eggs, sausage, and juice....Then on to the gift opening.

Bob was Kind enough to drive up and Get Grandma Gordon....

Fun seeing the paper fly off the packages.  Kai had a Ball opening everyone Gifts... SO CUTE..  and Jaiden he loved the ribbon and boxes..  I enjoyed just taking it all in...

I had made matching PJ's for Everyone so they were looking good for opening gifts.

The BEST gift I got was from my son Bob...and Cathy.  

A Garbage disposer, mine broke the day before everyone came in.  Ron couldn't fix it... and getting someone to come out... no time....  I had water backing up in the sink...  and wasn't draining...  Just a Big Mess...  So Christmas evening Bob is putting in it... Only to find out we didn't have enough pipes to hook it up....   He was up and out the door at 7 to get the pipe he needed.... It works GREAT   Thank's Bob and Cathy.

Course I got another Great Gift from Jared.  A Photo book of our family.   And a Camera for the computer.  So we can see Jared while we are talking on the computer.  How cool is that.  And Thanks to Ronny for setting it up  THANKS RONNY!

And my Next great gift is a Calendar of my Grandkids...  So I'll enjoy that gift for the next 12 months.  Thanks Ronny and Monika.

Course The BEST BEST Gift... was having All our KIDS and  Grandkids HOME  for the Holiday...  Thank you Jappy.....Ronny....  Bob...Jared wasn't able to be here... But he called every day.... and sometimes twice.  He was missed.

Ron was kind enough to fit me with a Fishing vest and fishing gear.  So I'm ready to hit the streams.  

So as you can see... we had a Wonderful Christmas...  

Here's wishing you all a Happy New YEAR!
