Mardi Gras Party

Last Tuesday Tim and Kristi hosted a Mardi Gras Party! They had a delicious assortment of food- (as always!) crab rangoon, hush puppies, cajun shrimp, crab cakes, dips, drinks, and a Mardi Gras cake. It was a fun night with friends and all the kids!

For Valentine's Day weekend we attended John and Meredith's wedding in Laurel. Bryan was a groomsman, and we had a great time! We kept busy attending the rehersal, swimming at the motel, getting ready for the wedding, reception dinner, and dance. We also visited a few friends and did some shopping before coming home. Congratulations John and Meredith!

Making "Allentown Rolls" with Grandma Rubel

Grandma Rubel was nice enough to come over while Mom & Kurt were here to make her famous rolls with us. It's a good thing she did! From the list of ingredients, mine never would have turned out the way hers always do, so light and fluffy. She baked for the restraunt at Ninepipes for years, and anyone who has eaten there has had her wonderful rolls. Thank you Grandma!

Sledding

Issac loves his sled! We finally have some snow that hasn't blown into drifts, so we have been going everywhere in the sled. The only problem is, he never wants to get out!

A Visit from the Heils!

Last week our good friends Lewy, Jessica, and Eli came to visit. Issac and Eli had quite a good time together.

Gary & Megan even made a trip up from Billings for part of the day to see all their kids!

The boys-all bundled up to feed cows!

We had a great time even if it was 20 below and the wind was howling most of the time! We stayed in the house, ate good food, mixed good drinks, and played games. Eli & Issac had fun playing, they look like trouble in a few years-just like their parents!

Christmas 09-Missoula

Christmas Eve we drove over to Missoula for Christmas with Sarah's family. We stopped in Helena for a stretch and to see some good friends, Rebecca and Greg. We spent Christmas Eve night at Mom & Kurt's, Levi joined us, and we all had a wonderful Christmas day there too! We enjoyed a delicious prime rib dinner and had fun opening gifts and playing games. The 26th we spent shopping and visiting with friends, more games, and lots of laughs. December 27th we had Christmas with Dad & Kim at their house in Nine Mile. Dad smoked a turkey, Yum! and we had another great dinner with them. Monday we drove up to Ronan for the day and visited Grandma Rubel. We saw a few of Bryan's aunts, uncles, and cousins too. We met Casey & Dustin for dinner, it's always fun to see them! We saw Shelci Tuesday before we headed back home. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing vacation, and we got a chance to see lots of family and friends-the way Christmas is meant to be!
