Today while I was waiting for church to start, I did a little reading on your blogs. While reading, I noticed that I haven't updated for 5 weeks! "OH MY!" I said to myself. "It's time you start blogging again." So, here I am. There are so many things I need to update ya'll up on, but I'll start with Christmas. Over the next couple days I'll give you more little goodies to read. :)
Christmas was fantastic! We got to see all of our family this year! We spent Christmas Eve with Dallas's family and everyone was there except his sister and her family. They joined us on Christmas morning for presents and waffles...which I made. I am loosing my mind because they turned out to be the worst pile of cooked waffle dough...Dallas's dad was kind and ate them, but I was for throwing the sorry looking bunch out.
After that, everyone left except Dallas's brother Nathan. So, we had a grand ole time setting up for Christmas dinner. We lugged heavy tables and counted chairs...and as a reward for our efforts we got slurpees from 7-11. Yum. SO GOOD! (But they always give me brain freezes...and what's up with those sttraws?)
Anyway, we had dinner with Dallas's mom's siblings and their kids. It was pretty crazy because they were all there. Even Uncle Howie and his wife drove from Canada!
Well, after dinner Dallas and I drove down to my parent's house in Preston, and hung out with them. We played Ticket to Ride and had a lot of fun. My nephew Gordon kept thwarting my plans by building trains right were I needed to! And my neice Akazia was so funny helping us out with the draw card pile. They are so much fun, and I'm glad we got to spend time with them and get to know their personalities better.
We had the "official" Knapp Christmas Party the day after Christmas. It was really nice because no one had any other family to run off to, and we could just take our time and be together.
Fast forward to New Year's. My nephew Ethan's birthday. He is such a funny kid! He is so easy to please. He is a special kid and I'm happy he is in our family.
Well, now you know why I need to update more over the next couple days... You would be reading til next year if I wrote everything all at once! :)
Well, until next time!
