Merry Christmas to all!

We have been in Ellensburg now since early Wednesday morning. We made the all night drive after work Tuesday and rolled in at 2:30 a.m.. We were able to sleep in and have Grandma and Grandpa watch the G. Thank you!

Christmas has been fun. We are here with all of Kristi's brother and sisters. Lots of laughs and good times. Greta is having a great time with all the craziness as well as the tons of family to entertain.

We took Greta to the Mall to see Santa Clause. Unfortunately, he wasn't scheduled to arrive for 3 hours. We tried to wait it out, but failed. G did get her letter written to Santa though.

Picture of Greta's cousin Seth. We have teased him about being a little girl since he was little and it just doesn't get old. Jim wrapped one of G's presents for him to open. His Mom Theresa is to his right. G looking at her big cousin Seth. She loves being around kids of all ages.

Greta and her Aunt Pam. She LOVES Pam.

2 weeks till Christmas....party, party, party

Kristi and I have been quite the socialites the last few weeks. My company party at Chico Hot Springs a week ago Friday, Kristi's party this past Friday and many functions for work during the week. We also had a 40th Birthday party for Mike Jarrett on Thursday night. I think I am going to have to go to dry-out and weight watchers when the season is over.
Kristi and I at her Christmas party at Looie's downunder in Bozeman.




Kristi and Joe Deason at my party.Joe, Josh and I having a shot with the "Cops". We have 3 husbands of employees who are in law enforcement. 2 with the Sheriffs office and 1 with the Bozeman City Police.
Me having a little too much fun at Kristi's party. Yikes.

Greta messing around in the dog's bed in front of the fire. She is so much fun right now. She doesn't slow down for a second.

We were outside taking some pictures for our Christmas card. It was really cold, but the G didn't seem to mind. She did have a nose plant in the snow which didn't make her very happy.


Greta playing around.

We put her in her Christmas dress while we (Kristi) decorated the tree.
G in black and white.

For some reason she loves to get behind our chair. I think it is because we don't want her back there. She is starting to learn how to push my buttons.
