Mom and Dad sledding.
Pastor John left his sermon notes on the podium, so when we gave my parents a tour of the church Dad decided to preach it to us. :)
Grilling steaks in the snow!
We played a lot of Mexican train. I got it for my birthday (in April) and hadn't played it until Christmas.

I have such a good looking husband! I really like this picture of Tim, probably my favorite! He's so cute.
Mom and Dad. We walked all the way across the lake! I was proud of them.
Our house. We started sledding from the basement floor on to the lake which is further down from where we're standing. Great sledding!
Here comes Katelin!
I look like such a pro! :) I tried to slow myself down before the drop and when it gets bumpy.

It's been a little while, but I finally put the pictures from Christmas on my computer. Hope you enjoy, it'll take 3 posts to get all the ones I want to show.
Mine and Tim's 2nd Christmas married.
All the stockings hung in a row.
All of us together.
Such a cute picture! Katelin resting after walking all the way back up our hill. We got a great workout!

Christmas was wonderful. Mom, Dad, and Katelin all came up on Christmas Eve and stayed 'til the 29th. We had a great time. We went sledding every day but one, played a lot of games (mainly Mexican Train) and gave my parents a tour around town. It was a nice relaxing and fun time having them up here. Hopefully I'll get the pictures on my computer soon so I can post them.
Tim has been doing some free websites to get fun toys. So far he has gotten an xbox 360 elite and an ipod touch for free! So he pretty much had his Christmas before Christmas thanks to himself. The junior high youth leaders all pitched in and got Tim Guitar Hero III for the xbox, that has been a fun game. Before Christmas we had the junior high kids over for a game night of xbox and card/board games. Then on New Years Eve we had the senior high kids over for another game night and sledding. Needless to say, I'm tired of all the songs on Guitar Hero, but it was worth it to spend time with the youth.
My work life has calmed down dramatically. Hallmark was done before Christmas and Friday was my last day to teach at the pre-school I was at all December long. Now all I am doing is substitute teaching. It's a bummer going from a steady position for a month back to a random class each day blindly, not knowing what to expect of the students and what they are working on.
My voice came back which was nice, too bad I didn't have it for work though. Oh well. This morning I was sneezing and blowing my nose constantly so I took some allergy medicine before church which made me really loopy. I am still feeling the effects of it, so I guess it's a 12 hour thing. Hmm.
Sundays will be even busier for Tim and I for a couple months. We'll be going to the 8:30 service, teaching 7&8th grade Sunday School at 9:45 then at 11:00 help out with another class teaching Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Today was the first day with that schedule, so I'm pretty tired. Hopefully I'll get use to it and I wont be so drained each Sunday.

I got my flu shot today! With being around kids so much with subbing and being in a cold state I figured the flu shot is a must this year. Especially since I'm starting to sub in pre-k tomorrow until the end of December. Yesterday I helped Amanda out at her day care. Her co-teacher wasn't going to be there, so I stepped in and helped. That was what made my final decision and be quick at getting my shot. Also, Tim has been sick the last few days, and I can really tell he is sick 'cause he is actually taking medicine! Usually he is the healthy one of the 2 of us, so that scares me to that he is sick and I am still doing okay, so I definitely wanted to be preventative.
I am trying to have self control and not buy any Christmas decorations. I hit a great after Christmas sale last year, so I want to try to just use that stuff. I already used most of our lights on our tower, and I want some for our other porches, but I will probably just have to make do, unless I take it out of my blow money. We'll see how desperate I get. I could always take some of the lights from the tower and put them elsewhere. Hmmm.
I'm starting to decorate a little at a time 'cause we have a Christmas party for our youth workers on December 4th. I originally thought I could decorate after Thanksgiving Day, but Tim and I will be down in the city with his brothers, and then the next weekend we're back in the city for a youth conference, so now is really my time to do what I want for decorating.
