Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

The time during the Christmas season was filled with family and friends. On Christmas Eve day, Bobbie and Gina made a road trip from Twin Falls to share Christmas and pick up Bobbie's aunt and visit Gina's brother. Later that night, we had a wonderful primerib dinner with the Mom's, Tom, and Joel. After dinner, Doug and Margie wondered across the street to visit and stay for part of the gift celebration.

This year I was "santa" (note the hat!) and handed out the gifts one by one while we oooh'd, aaah'd, and took pictures of what we received...it was the best Christmas yet! Of course we say that every year! That evening it started to snow so Dee spent the night rather than drive on the the slick roads.

Christmas day started out shoveling the white stuff before picking up Linda's brother, Tim, from the airport. That afternoon we had a spread of the turkey with all the fixings and the leftover primerib with the additions of Tim and Doug and Margie.

On Sunday the 28th, we had our final Christmas with Sylvia and Jessie (Linda's stepmom and her granddaughter) at Macaroni Grill to celebrate - after 4 days of munching on leftover and goodies we needed a dinner out! A good time was had by all...which was evident by Tim going for the big bottle of wine on the table! The time until Tim left on the New Years Eve morning, the family got together whenever we could just to visit and enjoy each others company.

We would like to thank all our family and friends who helped make this the best Christmas ever! We love you all and wish everyone the best for 2009 - may all your goals and dreams come true!
