Whoooooooohoooooooooo We all survived!! Christmas was great again this year.

Shawnee celebrated her birthday on December 23, 2006. The picture posted was the picture I used on her Birthday Invitations. She had her friends Marlyn, Jasmine, Maria (cousin) and sister help her celebrate. I had my cousin Russel come over and do magic tricks to entertain them. It turned out well because he not only did his magic tricks but also balloon animals. Our friends Rick and Kate travelled from Vanderhoof to make it for her birthday, which was really nice of them. We had pizza etc.

The next day after cleaning up after Shawnee's party, Rick brought over a ham for supper, which was awesome.

Christams day Shawnee decides she is going to get up at 5:00 am. Her dad sent her back to bed, then he got up to continue thawing the turkey in cold water. 6:00 am all the kids get up and start opening their stockings. 6:35 am they are tired of their stockings and wake us up . . . well make us get up out of bed. After presents we get the turkey in the oven. Kate and Rick stop by with 3 . . . in bigger fonts 3 totes of presents for our family. Over the top with their big big hearts. Zoned out for the rest of the day, then we started the potatoes etc. After supper we go down to the Village Christmas tree, where the Yuletide Committee has purchased $50 for each kid in the village. Was fun.

Came home and went to bed.

Been crocheting lately.

Next is Cheyenne's Sweet 16 on the 30th.

Better go home for lunch . . . ciao,
