Clever Elder Rappleye

Remick, my brother, is on a mission in Italy. He was nice enough to send us a Christmas package that included a tie for each of the men and a scarf for each of the women. However, there was a catch on who could pick their gift first. He had us pick in order of who has written him the most while on his mission. Well, it was quite the scene and rather hilarious by the time it was over. Peter hung is head in shame and barely beat out my brother to not end up in last place. (he was saved only because the kids and I had written my brother and sent him packages) As soon as the choosing was over the competition was then on for next year, Peter wrote Remick a letter that night and my brother started emailing pictures. Nice job Remick, you should be getting your fair share of letters during 2010.

Hanging out in the new house

Grandpa & Grandma moved into a new house and we love it! It has so much more room for us to hang out and play!

Afton, Wyoming

For New Year's we went to Afton, Wyoming to celebrate with the Rappleye's and have our annual Christmas party. The kids had so much fun riding in the Ranger and being pulled in the awesome new sled that Grandpa & Grandma gave them for Christmas.

Merry Christmas! We spent the whole day in our pajamas. It was so nice to spend the day together.

Christmas

Matthew was excited to get some surprises and a couple of things from his list.
A new game to try and beat Dad at! Matthew is definitely a competitor!
Peter's family surprise...a new computer! (A Mac book, Peter's Christmas miracle came true!)
