Christmas Day is our day to drive north to Belfair and see my mom and dad and family... this year we got an extra special present... new babies & 900 feet of snow! That's right, not just my baby Chasers... but Erika's baby Keegan too! He is SOOOOO cute! I always love getting to see my family and it makes me realize how very far away they actually live... (Kentucky...wah-wah!) 2ndly, we actually didn't make the drive up until the 26th because of the tremendous down pour of snow we had. Quite nice actually and even nicer, how quickly it all melted! I know I'm probably one of the few who loved it, some not so much, but hey- what are you gonna do? Can't control the weather eh?
Anyway, it was a very nice drive up and only a sprinkle of snow; to add to the foot and a half already on the ground. Great company and yummy food- I was so excited to give my mom her present I made her. I had been working on it since May and spent just over 70 hours creating it. It was a homemade calendar of all her kids, kids' spouses & grandkids with all their birthdays, the age they would be or anniversaries and the year to be celebrated in 2009. Rather than just print it out, I snapped pictures of all respective celebrators and pasted it on their special day. Hence the upwards of 70 hours... but so worth it. I think she loves it as much as I loved making it for her! This year I also finally got my dad a present he was excited to receive... cuz he is hard to shop for, so it was nice to see him like his lil' gift.
All in all- great year... great holiday and a great family I have! I feel very blessed. Hopefully the new year rings in great things for you and yours for all of 2009.
CHEERS!
