Christmas

Well Santa has come and gone and it's almost time to start a new year. We had an amazing Christmas with everyone getting what they wanted. Finally after 11yrs. I got scriptures that say Freer instead of Oberg on them and a coat rack that my Dad made(I'll past a picture when I get one). Lek's said over and over that this was the best year of all and she got everything she wanted and more. Of course she is always my Dad's shadow when she is up there so she did everything (except plow and shovel snow) with him. Brax got a lot of really cool toys that easily make noise and pretty much slept most of the day away.
While we were in Utah we hit the slopes a few times with Justin and Brianne and made it back with no injuries. For Christmas John got along with his towel warmer, a video recorder for his helmet. Were still learning how to use it and hopefully we will be able to post some videos.

We had to cut our trip short to come home and shovel Sizzler's roof. There was so much snow that three businesses had their roofs collapse and the fire dept. told everyone that they needed to shovel or possibly be closed. We had over 4ft of snow over a one week period. So we came home to mounds of snow and freezing temps. Needless to say that when the opportunity to head over to San Diego came up we took it. So now were in 70degree weather and LOVING IT. (We just couldn't take any more snow and all the people that were in town to enjoy it.)
We hope you all have a wonderful New Year.
Love,
Amie

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Can you believe it is here. I feel like we just had Thanksgiving and now it's Christmas Eve. I'm not sure how I feel about it, I love this time of year and hate to think that it is almost over. Aleksia is defiantly excited and can't wait until Santa comes. My Dad helped her make cookies for Santa (I will put the pictures up when I figure out my Mom's computer) and is really helping her get excited. I can't help but wonder who is more excited him or her.

The picture is of my nephew Easton. His Mom took the picture the other day and I had to share it with you.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!!

Love,

Amie

More snow and more fun!

Here are some pictures from this afternoon. The little kid is Kyler, our friends kid. He hated sledding but loved shoveling. If only Leksie still loved it. Enjoy the photos.

You've got to love SNOW DAYS!!

Tuns of snow=Snow Days, and that's what the kids have got two days in a row of pure bliss. I really haven't got to see Leks at all in the last two days because she is out enjoying the snow as much as possible. Yesterday we went out to shovel at 6a.m. and except for the 10min warm up breaks and 30min lunch and dinner breaks they were out there until 8:00p.m.(bed time). They've built some great sledding and boarding runs. They've even got a few with some pretty nasty jumps. John helped with those and I just stay inside praying that we don't have to make a trip to the E.R. Let's just say the pictures really don't show half of the height they've been getting.

Brax is enjoying the snow days snuggled up under a blanket warm by the fire. He's had some pretty rough nights so he's pretty much knocked out due to the drugs we've given him. Who can't enjoy the comatose state valium gives you. We definatly haven't wasted these snow days. Hope everyone is enjoying the snow as much as we are.
