Christmas Family Time

We decided to do something with Bruce and Rhonda's family this year, so we went to Driggs ID and went snowmobiling. We all had a good time and it was fun hanging out with each other.

I got the biggest kick out of the guys playing snow football at the lodge during the Hanks family get together.

Sledding at the lodge. Other than taking a few pictures, I could be found by the heater :-)

My BABY is 16 on December 16!

It's hard for me to believe that my sweet little boy is going to be 16 tomorrow. Wow, 16 years since we went to the hospital? I decided that you are only 16 once so we planned to do something a little more special and take him out to eat...with friends. Since the Christmas banquet is on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and our family party is on Saturday, we decided to take him on Tuesday. I called up some of his friends mothers who said they would get their boys to the restaurant. I made a cheesecake and took it along. I should have taken it out to the car first and put it in the trunk. He is our chauffer now because he is accumulating hours for his license. He had the car running and was waiting for me to get in the car. The conversation went like this; "How come we're taking cheesecake to the Border?" Because someone might want some. "How come we are taking two cars?" Because Dad needs to go talk to someone in Baker after we are done eating. Even though he guessed something was up, I think he was a little surprised. A good time was had by all.

Christmas at our house

This corner has items that my boys have made over the years.

I like to decorate for Christmas. I really like the season of giving and good will towards all. We have lights up outside also and I noticed that Aaron and Ashley have some also. The Hansen's/Hanson's know how to light up Garrison. Merry Christmas to everyone
