Phew . . that's over with . . .

I'll start by saying that I forgot to take my camera with us to Montana, so no Christmas pictures. . I'll have to see if Grandma has some pictures to share.
We drove up to Idaho Falls on Tuesday afternoon, staying the night at a hotel. We took Oreo with us and he was so good. It was odd though, being trapped in room all together with no where to go. It was actually great family time. I took refuge in the hotel hot tub, which I had to myself. . Loved it.
We made it to Montana in the early afternoon of Christmas Eve. In the Mohn household Christmas Eve is the big family gathering event where everyone gathers for the opening of gifts to eachother. We are blessed to receive an abundance of gifts from Grandma and Grandpa (Wayne's folks), which this year was the main gifts we received as a family as with our situation of my unemployment. We stayed in Montana until Sunday morning. The kids went sledding on Saturday up Skalkaho and had tons of fun. Wayne and I did not go as I was still dealing with a great amount of pain from my latest surgery (Fissure repair).
We are getting together with friends for New Year's Eve. We have never really done anything before, usually sit around until about 10pm watching the broadcasts from across the country and call it an early night.
Brendan is really loving his new Pre-School and starts Basketball on Monday at the Legacy Center. It is really hard at this point to think of putting him back into daycare and going back to work. We have both really enjoyed this time off together. Oh well, things will work out how they should.
I have not had very many more headaches lately - yeah medication and rest. I still have very little energy but trying to be more active.
May your New Years be as great as I hope for mine to be! I am hoping mine will be full of great health, employment and great family memories!

It's been a while, Yes, I know. Kids are all doing well. We are heading to Montana for Christmas on Tuesday for a few days.
I think this is the most sparse that our Christmas tree has ever been, but gratefully, the kids don't care! They are just estatic that we are going to Grandma's house!
