Brody and Jocelyn spent the night with us and after we watched Home Alone and put the presents out, I took some action shots of McKelle and Brody. Probably a very stupid thing to do, but very entertaining non the less. Christmas Eve at midnight it started snowing at our house. We went to bed excited for some pretty snow for Christmas. Little did we know what we were in for.Donny had worked that night and ended up pushing snow for 3 hours. It snowed Christmas Day all day too. The wind blew and it was seriously insane. We shoveled the driveway I can't remember how many times. Thanks to all the family who helped and a neighbor who came over with his 4 wheeler so that Brody and Jocelyn could leave and Mandy,Cam, Blair,and Kim could get in the driveway. Unfortunately, Cathy and Mom didn't make it out to our house for Christmas and we missed them a whole bunch. To make things even more exciting our power went out at around 1:30 and didn't go back on until 6:30 that night. Christmas dinner consisted of quesadias, chips and salsa and soup. We actually warmed things up on our gas stove. I know that sounds crazy, but whatcha gonna do. The next day we made a big hill for Tag to go down on a sled. He loved it. Brody and Joce came back over on friday night and we played guitar hero world tour. Mandy was Nertz champion and Cam won in Yahtzee!And we can't forget Kahootz ( Dad's sound of the tree falling down!)lol Anyhoo, we had a great time except for not having Jason, Claudia, Ada, and Boston with us Christmas Day. Our memories of how much fun we had when they were here helped get us through. We were sad to see everyone go home and we were exhaused! Check out the picture of Brody, Joce, and Donny on the couch!

I miss you guys already! You got some fun pictures that I need to get from you! What a fun Christmas we had; thanks for everything!! The weather was crazy, but Tag loved the snow. Fun memories and i am dying to play some games with you all right now!
Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nertz”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
It has been so long since I have seen the two of you. I am glad to see you are doing well. Your grandchildren are adorable. I get to see Brandon and Jocelyn every week at church! It's good to know there is a way to connect with friends.
