Hi all! Hope that all is well with you and yours! This past week has been mostly same stuff different days.
Over the weekend we did attend Derrick's work Christmas party. It was nice and at a restaurant on the golf course called "Hooties". No short shorts or tight shirts there. :) We had some excellent prime rib and some SO good shrimp. We didn't stay out very late and headed home for a nice night at home. Rad stayed at Grameri's with Aunt V. so it was just Derrick and I. It was nice to be able to sleep deep. I never do when Rad and Shayli are home. It's like I keep one ear open for them or something.
We woke up Sunday morning to a call from our home teachers telling us that church was cancelled. Yes, cancelled. I have never had that happen before. We got home around 11:30 on Saturday night and had more than 14 inches of new snow by 9am on Sunday morning. It was nuts. As I was shoveling a path to the hot tub on Sunday I thought about taking a picture because it was so pretty and white but I decided to do it in a few hours... which turned into Monday and by Monday it had rained so much that all we had was inches of yucky slush. Not so pretty.
Sunday was my work Christmas party in Hayden but the roads were so horrible that we didn't feel safe enough to make the drive. So we had a relaxing dinner with some friends here in Sandpoint... relaxing that is until a pipe broke. Then Derrick and Al spent a good hour or so fixing that.
Work is getting slow for Derrick which is nice in a way because he stays home and I go to work, but a little tight on the finances. AND we just took out a loan to build a really nice shop here on our property for all of the mechanics stuff that we do. That'll be nice to have and it's something that Derrick has dreamed of for a LONG time. So it's exciting for him.
That's about it for the week. Shayli comes home tomorrow and we'll do some more Christmas wrapping. I sure love that girl and miss her so much when she's gone and LOVE when she comes home.
No new pics of the kidd-o's but here are a few of our Christmas decor.
Love to you all.

I love the decorations. So pretty. And I can't believe you got that much snow!!! How fun. Can you tell mom to call me? I still can't find my calling card and I need to ask her a question. Love you and miss you all. Oh, and every time I look at the picture of Ben and Derrick wearing the crowns I bust up laughing!
You have to change the color of the words. I can't read it. and if I can't grandma won't be able to and she keeps up with you guys.
I love the decorations. We are so jealous that you got so much snow. We can't wait to come visit again. We might move it up to January and stay for a couple of weeks if we can. we need to get our snow fix somewhere and we want to snowboard for atleast 5 days this year. I'ts good to see weekly updates again. Love ya!
