X-mas Gifts and
New Years Football…Myrtle Creek Style

We want to Thank ALL our Family and Friends for making our Christmas once again very special!

The kids got quite a few gifts this year from family and friends. Here is Jo holding her personalized music cd from Mandy, and then posing with her dress from Hawaii, the only time we got her to wear it so far. Miss Hollywood with her furry pink vest from the Young/Conkey family and her Princess dress from Gma/Gpa Belmont. She is now styling with her pink baseball glove and matching ball and will stay warm in her bright pink winter jacket both from Rachelle/Connie. There seems to be a common theme here…I’m guessing…Pink…reminds me of Mandy at this age.

Cole seems to be easy to shop for as well, action figures and sports seem to be his thing! Here he is showing off his Darth Vedar helmet from Gma/Gpa Belmont and then his New England jersey from the Young/Conkey family! (he just can’t get enough of the jerseys) Then onto the west coast team…Seahawks uniform along with a new Spiderman sweatshirt from Rachelle/Connie. The batmobile from Gma/Gpa and a cool light up Batman from Andrew, just right for the car by the way!

We spent New Years Eve in Myrtle Creek and had a very good time. The kids got lots of play time with the Clack Clan and then on New Years Day we all got together and played a little touch football. Well, we all played touch except when it came to Cole, he wanted to be tackled and so that is what we all did whether he had the ball or not. If you ran by him you took him out and got him muddy…He LOVED IT.

Jo even got into the action at first, hiking the ball and even ran it a few times. Then she went onto one of her favorite pastimes, playing in the mud and day dreaming. We just kept playing around her, I don’t think she ever noticed us running and throwing around her. A good time and a fun way to start the New Year.
