Merry Christmas!

Well, these Christmas wishes come a little late as we have been quite busy over the past few weeks. We kicked off the celebrations back in November and haven't stopped! We had a total of 7 christmas celebrations this year, and have enjoyed all of them very much (we still have 2 to look forward to!) We have been so blessed this year in all aspects of our life and really loved spending time with our loved ones and celebrating the reason for the season!

We spent Christmas eve with the Heimdal side after stopping at Scott's Grandma's in the morning! Dad was pretty sick, but still his old joking self! He may have been sick but he still was able to bust out in some Dance Dance Revolution, he's a natural! It was such a great night, we always enjoy seeing family! We then headed over to Brekke's later that night where we participated in some more DDR before heading to bed.

Christmas Day we spent with Scott's parents and siblings, we had a great time opening gifts and sharing laughs! We had a huge ham and turkey dinner that was very delicious! We are blessed to have two great families and enjoy every minute with them! Unfortunately, the next day Scott got very sick with the flu and was confined to the couch. He's feeling much better now though, thankfully it was a 24 hour bug.

I was able to go to one of Trent's basketball games. He started and did awesome, I was quite the proud big sister! He shut down their main scorer who was a 6'7" giant who was a very chippy player. He also scored an and 1 with a minute to go, and they won by one. I would say he was the mvp, but of course I may be a little biased!

We hope all of your holidays found you healthy and happy! As of January 5th we will be in Mexico for a week, so please pray for safe travels and blue skies!

Winter Madness!

It feels like it has been so long, life has been a little crazy lately! I have just been finishing up classes for the semester with a lot of reading and A LOT of writing essays! We had a very blessed thanksgiving and had so much fun spending time with our great family! We have had a lot of fun getting into the Christmas spirit and are really enjoying our first holiday season in our little home! We have also picked up a new hobby, and quite a painful one at that! We went snowboarding together yesterday and are not moving around so good today, but I am sure that we provided entertainment to the other people on the slopes with our extreme wipeouts! I had gone a few times in the past, but haven't gone for about four years, so we are both learning the ropes! Although we are very sore, we had a lot of fun and when we recover I am sure we will be going again! We also were lucky enough to get some great tickets for the timberwolves game, even though it was hard to watch them without KG on the floor, we still had a lot of fun. We hope each of you are enjoying the holidays with your loved ones and celebrating our amazing Lord's love!
