Merry Christmas!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! We had a fun Christmas Eve with a surprise visit from the Reimans. They got stuck in Rawlins last night so they didn't make it out to get Scamp until today. There was still a lot of snow and they got stuck on our street. We dug them out and invited them to stay for Christmas Eve dinner at the Lambournes. First we played some Ping-Pong, I was able to hold my own with Steven, Jim, and Dave. They all wanted to take my paddle home. We had a great time. After they left we all opened Andy and Emilys gifts and now we are all wearing them. I will try and post a photo later. Hope everyone else is having a fun Christmas Eve!!

Merry Christmas Eve ~ Good Jul!

Hope everyone is having a peaceful Christmas Eve, we are just waiting until it's late enough for Santa to come.
We made our nativity cookies, the kids did feel funny about eating a baby Jesus cookie though.
But that was better than what happened on Thanksgiving when I gave them turkey shaped sugar cookies to decorate. There were turkeys with X's for eyes, headless turkeys and some with gun shot wounds from pilgrim hunters. All the red frosting was used up, I shouldn't have made red frosting, esp. for 12 and 15 year old boys.
We decorated the chapel with 200 poinsettias again this year from Jerry's research project, that was fun, and last night we went to the Burton Ward annual Christmas Eve party that they have been having every year since 1902.
Merry Christmas!

Nice day at the beach

We had a great day in Santa Cruz yesterday building sandcastles, flying kites, and playing frisbee at the Boardwalk (no rides were open), then had some chowder out on the end of the wharf, then checked out the tidepools at Natural Bridges and enjoyed the sunset. Beautiful weather - in the low 60s.

Colorado Holiday Blizzard

If you haven't already seen we are having a "Holiday Blizzard". So far we have about a foot or so and its still coming down strong. We got out of school and work early today but we are hoping to have all of tomorrow off!! Maybe Friday too!!! Here are some pictures I just shot of Mark and Tori playing out front. Our steps are buried. I shoveled 1/3 of the driveway and by the time I was done it was already covered with a few inches soo I gave up. Wish you were all here for our wintery wonderland, white Christmas!!!

Here are a few more photos from our fun in all the snow!!

Scout Uniforms

I have some scout stuff that needs to leave my house. I'll give it away unless someone out there would like it.

One Shirt size S - short sleeve
One Shirt size M - short sleeve
One Shirt size L - Long sleeve

One dark green pants size 16 - 28 waist - very very big hem so it could be used by any height.

Any takers?

Love, Mom
