Since the last blog post - we hosted a few of our church family for Thanksgiving dinner and games afterwards - had lots of fun. We had a wonderful gift exchange evening with Lorelle and Jake over Skype - with a great game of CatchPhrase over the miles... Lots of fun - almost felt like we spent Christmas together. We had dear friends over for a fondue dinner - and ended a delicious evening with a rousing game of CatchPhrase. We had cousins and their extended family over for Christmas dinner and ended that day with CatchPhrase as well - do you sense a pattern??
Yesterday we went up Mt. Baker with the family and had an amazing day of skiing - it was 27 degrees, no wind, powder snow and the sun was shining for most of the day. What an amazing day! Today we started out with a delicious brunch at 10:30 am (which some family members found difficult to get up for...) including waffles from our new waffle maker (thanks Jake!!!), Oma pancakes, eggs and bacon, strawberries and whipped cream - it was well worth getting up for!!!! After that we played walleyball at the Y with some of Jan's family and after a yummy pizza dinner we went ice skating with everyone. Even Vinny skated - it was soooooo cute. I think we have another hockey player in the family. All in all we had a very nice time - so grateful for God's blessings and care in our lives!
