We just got back from visiting my parents in Texas. This is the last Christmas there, since they are moving to Utah in April (yay!) We were trying to think of names for the ranch because it just sounds cooler to have a name for it! My dad thought of 'Crooked Oak' because of all the Oak trees, but crooked kind of has a negative connotation, so we're still brainstorming. The weather was great, I didn't even need a jacket! Anyway, here are some pics & videos (warning: there are a lot of em'! My mom wanted to see them all, so this is for you!)
Eliska is in love with Logan (their new dog)
thanks mom for all the great meals! Plus I finally got some of my grandma's secret recipes!
My parents gave all the grandkids cabbage patch kids because my sister & I used to get them for Christmas
Emma loved sitting on this window sill
making gingerbread houses
we didn't wait long enough & all of our roofs fell off!
I LOVE my nieces Callie & Kenzie! I hardly ever get to see them, so we had a lot of fun
The Nutcracker Ballet Performance (one of the best I've seen)
Video Clips: Dad's Birthday, The House, Girls playing w/ chalk, & the cows
p.s. thanks for all the cards & well-wishing!
my little sunbeam & nursery baby!
We had a great 07' & are excited for a new year. We had a lot of fun New Year's Eve w/ our annual Kondel Family game night. I totally rocked Disney Scene it & Mad Gab! 
It was such a fun Christmas break, I am sad that Dan is back at work. We had fun being lazy & playing our new wii. Let me just say, I stink at all video games! That's why I like the wii system, I can actually do it- even Eliska can!
It's really fun & family friendly. It gives you a report each day of everything that was played & for how long, so you can monitor your kids, along w/ other parental controls. It also has the weather, news, & a digital photo thing you can tinker around with. I actually got quite a workout from doing the boxing match, I could barely finish it (someone needs to get in shape...) my arms were totally sore the next day!
