We started partying already! John and Janice made the trek up from Indiana for a quick Christmas visit. They arrived on Friday at 10 pm and had to leave by Sunday afternoon. It's a 5+ hour trek up here. Oh, and they brought Arie and Andrew too!!
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner prepared by mostly Linda's hands, with some help from Janice and I.
After dinner we opened presents and stockings. We got lots of stuff
and enjoyed the family fun!! We did squeak in a few hands of 
Euchre...no celebration would be complete with out some game playing!

Trent got a remote control Hummer
Dad got Nutter Butters
Here's the happy couple!
The Griffioens' trip was cut a little short by the snow that came Sunday, early morning. They were intending on leaving after church and some lunch. We got so much snow over night they cancelled church and John and Janice left for home at 9:30am. We called her to see if they made it to Sparta...she said it was a '9' on a scale of 1-10! John thought of it more of a 'challenge course'!! More plowing for Steve!

Friday afternoon we had to dig ourselves out before we could go anywhere. This picture is from our garage....

i am totally jealous of your great family time! i wish we could have been there to play in the snow and get some cards in! hope you all had a great time!
We did make it home safely adn John really did think of it as an adventure. We stopped at a rest area for a break and I was the last one out--and there where two older men looking out the window and one said "OH he just fell down" I looked out and John and the boys where slidding on the frozen sidewalk and John was laughing, laying on the ground. Then he did a doughnut in the parking lot on the way out--boys in the snow never change.
Sounds like you had too much fun. I hope our trip to OR is snow free!!
