Very Snowy Christmas Day

It snowed all day on Christmas..and of course the snow plows were not out in Fremont county. We were worried if the DeMilles would make it up here. Holly said that the roads were bad, but the worst part of the trip was the Salem Highway. The Buchanans were helping Sid move the snow so that Dusty would have a place to park his trailer and pickup. He got stuck as he pulled into the driveway. Adam and Nate met again for fun and battle.

Christmas Day Activities

Lily & Nate were performing with her High School Musical dancing. Sid was taking a nap. Lily was busy making a lot of cakes with her oven. Dave thought that she should keep it here. I thought that she needed it at home. Nate was happiest playing with his play dough.

Celebrating Christmas in Parker

We went to David and Patsy's house on Christmas Eve. The kids had a good time and it was nice to see everyone again. Those pictures are posted on facebook.com. Jess posted some pictures there so I joined it. It is a whole network of people that we all know. I still want to do the blog though for journaling purposes.

The Buchanan boys were up in the wee hours of the morning, but Nate finally woke up about 8:00. The boys had already had their gifts out ready to open. Sid had bought the boys b.b. guns. Lily and I made sugar cookies. Lily did get the most gifts and enjoyed everyone of them. The boys played their PSPs and we waited for the DeMilles to come. It was a blizzard!

Fiji-Day 2-Visiting the Village

We took a boat and went down a river to a village. We went to a place where we watched a performace, ate a meal that was cooked in the ground, danced and could buy some goods that the local people had made. We also finally got to taste grog. I don't know why Keith loves it so much. We then got back on the boat and went to a huge waterwall. I didn't venture to it, but everyone else did. We also went on a bamboo raft for a short period of time. It was rainy most of the day, but it was still warm. A lot of the Australians loved the water and went swimming in the river. It was an interesting day and we learned a lot about the Fijian culture.

Christmas Party at Patsy Crapo's home

We had a Christmas party with a lot of our old friends from Parker. It was fun to get together. We played a game and also had a gift exchange. I wanted to get some boxing clubs for Braxton, but lost them. Everyone had plenty to eat and it was fun to get together with our friends from Parker 1st that we don't get to see that often. There were around 25 people who came and Patsy had a nice roomy place to host the party.

Christmas Parties-Dinner Club at our house.

We had our annual Christmas party with our dinner club friends. We had really good food to eat especially a delicious appetizer in a bread bowl made by Judy. We had our gift exchange and visited with each other. It was good to get together.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

We were wondering it we were ever going to get snow. We always want snow for Christmas. We not only got snow, but wind and had our first snow day on Friday. I was so glad to have a day to catch up and do more shopping.
