A Much Needed Update

Prepare yourself. This is going to be a long one!

I know that you all have been asking why I haven't been updating my blog..and to tell you the truth..it's the last thing on my mind lately. Between cheerleading, games, school, masters classes, working out, and every other direction that I've been pulled in since Nashville..I honestly do not have time to do anything. And even if I do get a free minute..I either want to just sleep or spend it with Rylan and our families. Sooo..below is going to be a BUNCH of randomness of what has gone on in our lives over the past month.

Christmas was busy as usual, but enjoyable! We played a trick on Randy this year, because he always plays a trick on us. His boots have a hole in the bottom..so we put a bunch of our boots in a big box and told him that he could choose which pair he'd like to have. He wasn't too sure about that..until we gave him the new boots we bought for him. He loves them and wears them frequently! We were lucky on that one..we found the perfect size and style for him.

 We had Prime Rib at mom's for Christmas. It was DELICIOUS as usual! I think we all ate more than we should have..but you can't pass up a perfectly cooked prime rib! Way to go mom and Pat!! You surpassed our expectations again this year!

 We had our usual gathering with Jon, Lisa, Jordan, and Jared again this year. I'm not sure we'll ever be able to stop this tradition! We love spending time with them!

 We got to spend some time with Kate and Jesse while they were both home. It's always nice to see them and catch up on some good laughs!

 

We spent New Years at the Gypsy. Festivus was a blast and I can't say I've ever had that much fun on New Years. (Except maybe when Sheila peed her pants last year at mom's!! HA!) We had plenty of laughs - more than enough to make up for any that were lost during the past year! 

 

A few of us Aired our Grievances as well as participated in the Feats of Strength.

 Above: BobbiJo and I - we had to try to knock the other person off balance without letting our right foot touch the ground
Below: Bart and Brock - they wrapped a rubber band around their ear and had to pull as hard as they could till one of them yelled 'uncle'

If Festivus occurs again next year, I encourage you to join..if you are invited that is!
