CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS

This year for Christmas day we decided to take advantage of being able to sleep in. We figure that it will be out last year to do so in a LONG time so why not enjoy it? That afternoon Cameron had a football game that he played in. Sadly not very many people ended up showing up but those that did still had a blast. As for those on the sidelines...Tia and our friend Sara...they had fun just visiting on the sidelines. Here is Ti as take on what happened during the game...Cameron fell down while trying to catch the ball (its all muddy and icy and wet out), he then caught the ball, made a touchdown and then he made a really good pass. That is about all that that she saw of the game. After the game we went down to Sara and Robert's house to hang out and for dinner. Sara made a WONDERFUL ham dinner that all of us enjoyed. The night was wonderful!

We had a babysitting job for the rest of the week....to hold us off for New Years. We babysat our friends Matt and Joanna's children from the 27-29. They took a trip to Turkey and as always while they where away their children where wonderful. We never have any problems with their children when we babysit them. We really will miss this family when we leave Germany.

As for New Years Cameron had to work on New Years eve and so he did not get home until close to 8:00PM. But, once he got home we went to our friends Caleb and Suzy's house. They invited a few couples from the ward over for a big New Years bash. We ended up visiting, playing Scum and snacking the night away until midnight. At midnight we welcomed the New Year in with a toast of sparkling cider and TONS of fire works. They live on a hill that over looks a valley and so we got to see not only the fireworks that we set off but also all of the fireworks that anyone in the valley launched. It was really neat!

Then this morning first thing we had to pick Cameron's sister Linsey up from the air port...YAY! The drive to the air port was quick because most people probably had hang overs and/or where in bed. Her flight went by smoothly! She will be staying with us until the 8Th. After we picked her up Cameron had another one of his football games. He had a lot of fun playing and watching was also a lot of fun.
