Christmas part 2 and a happy new year to you.

Christmas came and went...then came some BIG powder days....no pictures because my battery died in my camera and the charger is in my classroom...bummer. So, here is a "google image" to wet your whistle..of what our {date day} looked like on WEDNESDAY...Whitty went to Kid's club at Targhee and did great. He loved it. It was still snowing when we left...too bad we couldn't go boarding on Thursday because....

of this!!!!

well, let me just tell you...we woke early (feeling fine)...headed down to Idaho Falls (to buy a new car mind you)...the insurance company *totaled mine..so we needed a new one....off we went...got to the toyota dealership and I was feeling funny...but rode it out....(complaining of course)....around lunch time we had KIND of decided on a car...but needed food...so we went to get some take out...WHit fell asleep and I fell ILL...I was nauseas and in pain...so Jordy drove us all home...by the time we got home...I ran in the house...and began spilling my cookies....ugh...then around 3AM...so did Jordy..and the next day...so did Whityn...we were a "BIG" mess all day on NEW YEAR's eve...it was so sad...but around 8:30...I was hungry...so Jordy went to get me Chicken Noodle soup...with some newman o's....yum. I ate a decent amount and held it down...Whityn still hasn't had much of an appetite but is definitely the most resilient of the family...KIDS...they are amazing!

So...we did stay up 'til midnight...watching a lifetime movie...barely breathing next to each other....DOES that count for ringing in the new year?...then today (New Year's day)...we did the most annoying thing....drove BACK to Idaho Falls to buy that car...UGH.

And here she is *nicknamed ressie short for resolution......well, this is not my car...but you get the idea...yes, me in a mini van...WHAT? I never thought I would drive one...but after driving another highlander, a sequoia (too expensive)....and a sienna (so ROOMY for us BIG and TALL types)...it fits 7 comfortably....with 2 dvd players...and a navigational system...that I have NO idea how to work yet...but am excited about my safe, comfortable...and ROOMY new ride!!!! And last but not least...a pic from last XMAS...wow, how we have changed!!! Whityn is growing so fast!!!!

Happy New year everyone!
