Where have I been???

Wow, it's been so long since my last normal post(well pre-blogger meltdown anyhow)....time sure flies! December was a good month for us and started off with a bang as Bec went to the State Championship meet and knocked the socks off those girls and took home 1st place Uneven Bars!!! WOW, now she gets yet another banner at the gym. From there (Coos Bay) we went to visit our friends in Salem (always love seeing them) and had a fun time playing WII and just spending time with them (even though we just saw them for thanksgiving). After that we headed north to WA to spend some much needed time with Rame's family! What a great time we had and we even had the opportunity to go up to our Nephew's places in Everett and Gig Harbor WA! Once back home it was hustling around to get our Christmas tree and get ready for the 4-H Christmas party we were hosting at our place. We had so much fun finding our tree, we go to a place just about 10 miles from here and it is just loaded with snow, kids get to sled, dogs just run around and root in the snow and I just love being there; the scenery is just breathtaking! Our party went well, we had so many people here and have added about 6 more kids to our group and the girls gave a fun presentation on line breeding rabbits-very informative and I get to check off debate for Marissa on her curriculum! I love homeschooling!

Then of course we spent the rest of December (prior to Christmas) baking, baking and then there was baking! We had a wonderful Christmas, just the 4 of us out here! But I think one of the best things about this Christmas was a dear friend of mine was here over the holidays....how I have missed hanging with her (miss you so much Suzanne). We had such a great time together, we shopped, had dinner together, our kids hung out together and then there was the fun time at gymnastics (just like old times)!!!!

That was our December! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and great New Years!!!! We made some resolutions, had a couple toasts and are ready to make 2009 the best year yet!

'til next time,
