Christmas Break and New Year's Eve

We have had a really nice relaxing week.  We have slept in and stayed up late.  Played lots of games, watched a few movies, worked on puzzles, Blake did some drawing, and we have done lots of reading.  It has been wonderful.  Christmas Day we got all the laundry done and nothing else really.

I did a four course dinner that night.  We had fruit, salad, steak and roasted vegetables, and dessert.  It was fun to do that again.  It has been awhile.


Boxing Day we had the Smith get together.  Fabulous food and games.  Another great day.


On the 29th we got the house cleaned all up and ready for Leah's get together with her friends.  But the roads were so bad we had to cancel.  But she did an awesome job of cleaning the bathroom in preparation for all the girls that were supposed to be coming. Now I know what she is capable of.  (Evil laugh) We had also planned to go skiing at least once, but again weather was really not nice.  So we stayed home.  On the 30th we got together with the Puzey side. Myrna out did herself with food again. It was all fun.  Leah sang in church on the 31st  and Rachel played for her.  They did a great job.  Then back to Myrna's for more great food.  Rachel had set up a balloon count down to New Years for the kids.  It was really fun with activities and snacks along the way.  She set the clock ahead and we started at '7' which was really 4 :)



At our midnight we cheered in the New Year and then came home to bed.  Cora had a party she went to where they played games, ate snacks,  and had fireworks at real midnight.  She said it was quite fun. 2017 was great to us.  We had so many wonderful things we got to do and be apart of. We are feeling very blessed and happy.  Happy New Year, wishing for a great 2018!!
