Update

It's been quite a while since we've updated our friends on our whereabouts. We've been keeping ourselves busy with the new house, Christmas shopping, work and trying to squeeze all of our friends and family in over the holidays. Since our last post we've celebrated a birthday in Illinois, traveled to Ohio for another birthday and some antiquing, had Christmas Round 1, and survived our first snowstorm at the new place.

The first weekend in December I fought the ice and made my way to visit with some of my LeRoy friends. It was great to spend some time with them and see Jenna's new house. That Sunday we headed to a 5th grade basketball game and off for pizza and cake to celebrate Caisey's birthday. I'm hoping she brings the gift we gave her back at Christmas. I bought it so I could play with it!




The next weekend Trever and I headed to Ohio to celebrate Kyla's birthday. It just so happened that some other relatives were visiting Ohio the same weekend. We spent all day looking for the perfect antique cabinet to put in our kitchen before hitting the mall and meeting Aunt Sue, Beth and Jerry for dinner.

This last weekend was the first big snow. We made it to Grandma Builta's house Saturday night for Christmas Round 1. This is the first time we have done what I call a "white elephant" exchange. I'm surprised with how well it came off. I came home with a fleece blanket made by grandma and Trever came home with the game 1 vs 100. I think we faired pretty well.

Sunday was suppose to be a Christmas party at our house, but it turned in to a small intimate gathering instead. After our first big snow, Trever spent the morning scooping the drive with his brand new snow shovel while I got the soup and sandwhiches ready. Between the poor weather and a kid that was under the weather, the only ones that made it up were the Brucker's. It was a lot of fun to catch up with Kate, Eric and Alyson. We'll have to have everyone up again sometime after the holidays.

We've got a slow week this week, but we're gearing up for a lot of driving, eating and gift giving next weekend! It's nice to be wanted at so many different places over the holidays, but it gets difficult to please everyone. I'm sure we'll have many more pictures and updates after Christmas!
