Christmas!

ONE HAPPY BUNCH OF KIDS!

Well, the Faltynski clan made the trip down to Green Bay for Christmas this year. We arrived early Christmas morning (12:30 am). We left right after Christmas Eve service. All three kids woke up when we got to Nana and Papa's house and were up for about an hour. Of course they DID NOT sleep longer the next morning and were all up at the typical 7 am.

HANGING OUT WITH COUSINS!

Jonas got to meet lots of people for the first time. Aunt Susan, Uncle Ben, and cousin Emily were very excited to see him. Emily has gotten so big. We haven't seen her since she was just about Jonas' size. She's walking now. It was great to hang out with their family. We also got to spend lots of time with all of Laura's family and played one CRAZY game called SNORTA...it involves making lots of animal noises...that's should tell you enough, right there. (it was fun though, Winter even got to play). We met Kath's boyfriend Alex. Winter and Creedon had a blast playing in the snow with Kath and Alex. Winter and Creedon also got to bake with Grandmamma one night, and Mom and Dad definately benefited from eating yardstick! YUM! (it's a great jam filled pastry...apricot is definately my favorite) Mark babysat Jonas while they cooked and Bryan and Laura got a chance to SHOP sans kids...it was awesome. Although, it's tough to shop with Bryan. He's so cheap (I mean frugal, and anti-consumerism) that he won't pay more than $15 for jeans and I had to FORCE him to get a dress shirt that was marked WAY down. Anyway, we also got to hang out with Jacob one day, and Kath another day.

Winter and Creedon had tons of fun with Reilly and Levi. They played for a few hours on Christmas and got to go sledding one afternoon. Those 4 together and pure craziness! Our family got to eat dinner with the Zierson's one night. It was good for us to hang out with Great Aunt Debbie and Uncle Scott. Winter pretty much stayed in the living room with Jenny and the 'teenagers'. She commendered Jenny's new camera and snapped pictures all night.

All in all it was a VERY busy trip that lasted until New Years Eve. We had a great time with our family and came home exhausted. Oh, and just in case you all were wondering...according to the Shawno County Police, it is illegal to operate "left of center". (This would be operating in the left or passing lane of a divided 4 lane highway.) Personally, I would think that center would be the ditch and left of that would be going the wrong way down the road...anyway, this proves a little tricky to figure out where to operate when you are in say a 6 lane divided highway, and the right lane is for an exit and the center lane is center, and the left lane is "left of center"...where do you drive? Well, Bryan was warned to not operate left of center...so no ticket this time...

So, we just want to help you all out...don't operate left of center....
