Christmas Festivities and Whatnot

Hello All! Here I am after visiting from my wonderful Arizona home with Steve and having loved every semi-warm minute of it. I loved every second of it and took a heap of pictures. On Christmas Eve Jennie did her normal get-together with the family with all sorts of goodies. We played holiday bingo again this year which was a lot of fun. It was fabulous to see my friend Christy again. Christmas morning we went over to my Mom's house where she had made up warm muffins, rolls and baked apples. Of course she had a warm fire going. That night we all went to my Dad's house where he made dinner which included his famous homemade Oyster Stew. Fan-Fricken-tastic. On the 28th-ish we took our snow trip up to northern Arizona. We actually didn't have to go that far past Pine/Strawberry to find snow. We just kinda turned a corner and it was like a snow bomb exploded. It was Riley's first time in the snow but Ivy soon remembered how to successfully peg people in the head. Steve was really good at finding the deep patches of snow. Mom brought along the hot cocoa and Jennie brought cheese and crackers. All in all it was a great day. I loved just playing with Ivy and Riley and playing Wii marathons with John (and whooping Karens but at MarioKart Haha!)

Wait a minute - didn't I win at least once? And I must say, the odds were certainly against me considering I have never played any games on a Wii before, and you had plenty of time to practice since you were staying at a house that actually owns a Wii.....yeah, I guess you did still whip my butt...OF course Mario Kart on Wii is totally different than Nintendo 64... not that I am that good on the 64 either, but at least I've had more practice!!!!!
