Already a New Year!!

Ok ... so life got a little busy with Christmas! :o) Blogging was way on the back burner!!

We had a wonderful "first" Christmas with the girls (we had been home for 10 days last year). We had good friends spend Christmas with us and we made lots of great memories. Their boys, Zach and Seth just adore the girls ... so there were many sweet moments!

We first met our friends Jeff & Janna when they were in college at Black Hills State University and they attended our church. Chris was privileged to perform their marriage ceremony and to dedicate both of their babies. We all lived in Madison, WI at the same time and planted a church there. Now they live in the Chicago area now ... so they made the wintry trek over here to spend Christmas with us.

We also had a great time with Grampy and Bushka (Chris' parents) ... as they live just over the highway from us! Needless to say ... it was fun for everyone to have little ones around for Christmas!! They prepared a wonderful Christmas dinner for all of us

On Christmas Eve we had a houseful of friends for our traditional Christmas Eve Mexican dinner. This year we added a pinata for all the kids ... it was lots of fun!!

The girls are terrified of Santa. I've heard them say dozens of times "no like Santa ... like Snowman better!" So we didn't have Santa visit the house ... that would have freaked them out!!!

Happy New Year!

Pictures are on a separate post.

Did you already post the pictures separately? (Which, by the way, whenever you get around to uploading your pics onto your laptop would you mind to send a few my way from our weekend there? I'd looooooove to have a few more...because my 459 that I took with our camera just isn't enough!!! ahahhahahhahahaha!)
