Thanksgiving!

Since Christmas is only two days away, it's probably time to post about our fun Thanksgiving trip! We spent the holiday in Missoula, and we were able to celebrate with my parents, Betsy, Kennet, & Elsa, Brittany & Cameron, my aunt Dede, my grandmother, and my aunt Carol & Uncle Gary. Drew celebrated his 1st birthday, and we helped my dad celebrate his 60th. It was COLD in Missoula while we were there, but that didn't stop my dad, Stu, Kennet, and Dede from braving the weather to attend a Grizzly playoff game. The Griz lost a close game, but they had fun anyway. It was wonderful to see all of my family in the same place! We're so excited that Britt & Cam are moving to Polson in January, since we'll get to see them more often now.

Needless to say, Bryce can hardly wait for Santa to get here. His Houston cousins arrive today, so at least he'll have Thomas & Jillian to keep him busy for the next couple of days. We're hoping to take the Texans sledding, since they don't get much of the white stuff in their neck of the woods! :)

Happy Holidays to all of our cherished friends and family. All our best for a wonderful 2008!

Almost not a baby anymore!

The attached video is the undeniable evidence. Becky and I (and the cats) are about to be in some real trouble. Drew is now getting up by himself and walking pretty much wherever he wants. Couple that with his ingenuity in using large toys or boxes to attain table tops, and I see stitches in our future.

Note: this video is too big for a dial-up connection. Does anyone still have those?

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
