Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year! It was mostly due to it being Ryker's first Christmas. We started off Christmas Eve at the Ocana's. We have a sit down dinner and then exchange presents and then play games. We only had 7 of us this year, but it was by far one of the funnest. After dinner Steph's friend Kelli Neuteboom comes over with the best treats you can imagine. That is what I look forward to each year! She has been coming over since I can remember. Thanks again Kelli!! We finished off the night with the usual Apples to Apples.

We had Christmas morning at home. Santa was good to us. After we opened our presents at home we made the rounds. Gma & Gpa Neville's where Ryker got a riding John Deere Tractor. We then went to Gma & Gpa Blanchard's and then to Gma & Gpa Olsen's.

We were going to spend Christmas night as a family playing games, but Jared got called into work to plow at 8pm and did not get home unitl 6pm the next day. We had a great holiday and hope everyone else did too!

Stay tuned.......

There are a couple of posts below, but the best is yet to come. Tomorrow night we are going with the Neville's to see Santa! I can't wait to see what Ryker will do!

Packpack, Cellphone and Hat

Ryker has been carrying around an old cellphone for a little while. Jared and I thought it would be funny if we could get him to wear his packpack and his hat. We were successful with the packpack, but the hat did not last long!

Happy Birthday!

This year for Steph's birthday Rob had a big surprise. It first started off with Rob and Steph taking a drive down to the Training Table by the E-Center. Rob told Steph that they could go to the Layton one anytime. They get to the Training Table and low and behold, there is my mom, dad, Jared and I sitting at a table. The look on her face was great! She was so surprised! Well the surprises did not stop there! We all walked across the street and headed to the Grizzlies game. Well after the first period they announced overhead "Happy Birthday to Stephanie Combes!" She got a little embarassed, but little did she know there was more! After the second period Grizz the Bear came up and gave her flowers and then her name came up onto the screen! It was such a fun night.
