What a Crazy Holiday! We left Cali on Sunday and drove over 88 in the snow - love that 4WD! We arrived in Winnemucca and it began to snow and did not stop for 4 days! No matter - there were lots of family to visit with and cooking and eating to do and my Mom had a handyman-to-do list for Joel.
Amelia's gift from Santa was to be a kitchen. After opening the box and dumping the contents out - it took 7 adults and about 2 hours to asseble the toy. But, Amelia loves it! The back burner makes sizzle noises and the front one boils! Very cute - we've been eating all kinds of fake foods! Alyssa and Ryan kept the girl quite entertained and they played in Nana's "hot pool" every day!
One evening, on my Dad's rounds to check on the cars, Sue and I visited the General Lee for a photo op - nice!
Over a foot of non-formable snow fell beautifully on the landscape and we had to stay an extra day as both 80 and 88 were closed and we could not get home. Good thing my Dad got a wii for Christmas - Guitar Hero is my weakness!
We finally made it home to find that Santa had visited our house as well - Amelia's new golf clubs had arrived! SpongeBob gold balls were in her stocking and she's well n her way to becoming the next Tigris Woods!
We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Kerry and Uncle Don before they left for home thismorning! We missed Momma Gwynne's birthday but the family held off on the first-ever Secret Santa gift exchange until we were able to participate - Thank you! It turned out great and we all chose our names for next year. My family calendars turned out nice and I'll start working on next year's soon so feel free to send new pics throughout the year!
