Twenty-two

-Woke up this morning to 3 inches of freshly fallen snow. Happy New Year's Eve!
-Did some adven- turous four wheeling, sledding, and then a combination of the two.
-Spent the afternoon setting up for the wedding reception.
-Jeremy turned 22 today. We had a pretty sweet surprise birthday party for him.
-Brought in the new year with cousins and siblings watching Cheaper By the Dozen 2.

I love my life.

Hammer Down

-Left before sunup and got home after bedtime.
-Watched the sunrise as we drove to the resort.
-Snowboarded for 7 hours.
-Here's a picture of Keith doing a board grab over the jump.

Love

Today was difficult. I found out that my precious grandmother has been seriously ill for some time. This may be the last time I get to sit and talk with her. I praise the Lord for her faithfulness to him, her diligence in raising a family that loves and serves him, and her heart for his heart. She is my hero.

Happy Birthday Mother Dear.

I LOVE CHRISTMAS. ENOUGH SAID.

Shmucking Around

Today we traveled to the north. It took approximately 11 hours. The snow was an exciting find about 7 hours into the journey. When we arrived, we ate the meal that I look forward to every year all year long. Grandma's cooking. Mmmm.

Christmas Eve Eve

-Today I had a fight with a broken toilet while trying to clean church. The toilet totally won and I spent the next while cleaning up after it.

-Free Krispy Kreme doughnuts with Ab and Ev.
-I hate Christmas traffic with a passion... 5 hours of errands. Yikes.
-Helped Daddy with his side job, worked some arm and back muscles. Man, he's hardcore.
- Spent 3 hours "packing" for the trip north. My mom's got some mad packing skills. Maybe someday I'll get them.
-To finish off the night, I broke several teeth off a comb trying to untangle my hair. O dear.

^ Where we are headed tomorrow morning, bright and early!
