Christmas Fun

We just got back from a wonderful Montana Christmas. The gift giving for me started when Candace took Patrick and Auretta with her up to Dillon the Saturday before Christmas and we didn't go up until Wednesday. I got the kitchen painted and some sleep. We enjoyed our selves up there, but next year I think we will stay home. I'm kind of a control freak so I want to be in charge of the traditions. When you get that many people together with their own ideas of what should happen it gets a little crazy. But we did have a great time. We got to meet Chuck and Kaja new baby boy, Sidney. What can I say, every baby is the cutest and the best. It is amazing to see how much a baby can grow in 4 months. David was 2 or 3 times the size of Sidney.  We also hooked up skype up there and talked to the relatives in Canada. That was great! I sure miss grandma Siggie and wish we had the money and time to go up there. But that isn't a cheap trip for a family of 5. We took most of the pictures with Chad's dad's camera. Which in theory they will send to us. I don't know if we will ever see those pictures again. But I got some on ours, hope you enjoy them and I will make sure to take a picture of the card table tent in the near future.
Our favorite Christmas gift this year!

Patrick is going to really miss Candace. We really enjoyed having her here for a while.
