The past week

Last Tuesday Nathan had his preschool Christmas program. I camcorded it but I have an older camcorder so I can't post it. He looked soo handsome! Wednesday we got in the van & headed to Malad, ID to spend Christmas with my family; my grandpa & wife LaJuana, my dad & wife Amy, my brother & wife Lyndsie, & my niece. The roads were not too good. It took us 5 hrs to drive from Sidney to Billings. We saw 5 cars in the ditch between here & there. A normally 11 hr drive took us 13 1/2 hrs. While down there we had a nice Christmas dinner & my grandpa's. Thanks LaJuana!!
Then Saturday after Christmas my niece Brynn had to fly to Spokane to spend a week up there with her mom. The rest of us drove down to Layton & Ogden to go see Avatar-3D, it was all sold out. We tried Alvin & the Chipmunks that was all sold out too. We went across to this really cool indoor sports park, it had indoor surfing (flow rider) really cool!, a rock wall, an arcade, we played a few games, a bowling alley, & upstairs there was ifly (indoor skydiving) SWEET!! Pretty FUN!!
Late Saturday night Neil's mom called & told us his grandpa wasn't doing to well & they were on their way to Billings to see him. They didn't make it in time, before he passed away. Here is his OBITUARY
On our way home Sunday, we stopped in Billings to see Neil's family; grandma Char, MIL Connie & husband Ken, & Aunt Bonnie & husband Rick. Neil's brother Chris & wife Jamie were in Miles City visiting her family over Christmas, they drove to Billings. We stayed in a motel Sunday night. Neil had already missed 4/5 days of work & we thought we should just come home & drive down Wednesday for the funeral. The kids each stayed with friends, THANKS Trevinos' & Deans'!! The Trevinos' had just gotten in the night before from their Christmas with her family in Canada. And the Deans' hadn't been home much longer from their trip from Texas. Thanks!!
It was really nice seeing EVERYBODY!! Not soo nice under those circumstances, but still enjoyed our time. We drove down & back in the same day. Neil is back to work today.
I DO have pictures to post but not right at this moment.
Hope everyone had a VERRY MERRY Christmas!! And WILL have a SUPER DUPER New Year!!
No plans tonight for us, but what about YOU?!?!!?
