THE 60TH!!!

December 26th, 1948 was a special day indeed! Oma and Opa got married in LaCrosse, Wisconson at Oma Austy's home. 60 years, 3 children, and 6 grandchildren later we were able to celebrate the occasion one more time with them! Accompanied by several of their friends, we toasted them and their wonderful marriage! They are going for 70!

Christmas Day

A merry time was had by All! We (the grandkids) arrived at 11am to help with the Christmas feast preparations. We helped with Leftsa assemblage and making sure that the couches did not walk away. We opened party crackers and sported our crowns at the table! Oma, Mom, and Terry did all the hard work to Make the meal soooo very good!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Day was spent hiking in Sabino Canyon. Dad, Rob, and I went off a hiking mid day and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine of the day! We returned to the house and got ready for the big family feast with all aunts and uncle present and accounted for! Family portraits were taken and Presents were geoffnet!

And the Journey Continues!

We arrived in Las Vegas December 23rd.... WAHOOOO. The drive from Vegas to Tucson is 380 miles. We were going to stop at the Hoover Damm on the way, but realized there was no need to stop. Traveling speeds approaching and on the damm was 5 miles an hour. We saw plenty of the damm without even stopping. Rob enjoyed seeing the Southwest topography upclose for the first time and Abi enjoyed calling out all the little towns we passed in the car.

Christmas Part 2

We journeyed to do Christmas in Macon with the Moon Family. Lots of fun!

Moon Family Christmas Part I

It's December 20th and we head to Macon tomorrow to gather with the Moons for a pre-christmas celebration! Tonight, Rob and I opened presents from my parents, sister and from each other. Quite fun!!!! The Dogs were quite pleased too!

Advent Semester 2008 is Over

Yes, it is true. I have now completed an entire semester of seminary. We do not have all of our grades yet, but I have turned in all of my work. Many of our class met at Shenanigan's for celebratory toasts before we head out to various "homes." Yahoo. Augusta here I come.
