MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope everyone had a great Christmas - we sure did.  It is kind of hard not to have one I guess.  And we even had a white one.  On Christmas Eve we went to down to Gary and Margee's for their annual party and all their kids were there with their kids and grand kids.  It is quite a group. It is a fun time and the steal-a-gift is always the high point for many. 

Connie went skiing with Brenda and her son Riley on Christmas Day.  I can't ski this year because of my knee replacement, and it looks like Ike is going to have to get one also so he is not skiing.  Getting old has it's drawbacks.  I kind of got things ready for Christmas dinner while the ladies and Riley were up enjoying over 14 inches of new fluffy powder.  This might be a long few months until we go south if the skiing is so good!  When they called and said they were off the ski hill, Ike headed over to our place.  Brenda had him working on things for the dinner also.  We had a great dinner of lasagna and many other things.  Exchanged gifts and called it a day.
