Well I am writing this for a couple of reasons. One being I am so grateful that Russ wasn't hurt anymore than he was and two to say goodbye to the old car that took quite a blow. (sorry Kacen)
A little history.......
Kacen is on his mission and he is very attached to his car. He left it in Russ's care because he didn't trust anyone else to drive it. He knew Russ would do regular maintenance on it and only drive it back and forth to the bank. Well things took a turn for the worse when a lady pulled right in front of Russ the other day hitting the old Buick pretty much head on. You just don't understand, he would have been better off driving a BMW than Kacens car. No one in the family thinks we should even tell him. That's how crazy it is. Things should be pretty interesting when we talk to him at Christmas. Wish us luck. Russ will need it. Here is a picture of the old thing. Try not to laugh because this is a serious matter:) I think he paid a hundred dollars for the thing.
The question we really need to be asking ourselves is why is he so attached to this thing?
The girls couldn't take their eyes off him
He checked our chimney to make sure he could fit down it Christmas night:)
Santa and Mrs Clause surprised us with a visit. The girls were sooo excited. They could hardly believe it. (Ryen is a little skepitcal, but she really wants to believe.)
An almost finished product
Tonight the girls decorated a ginger bread house. The girls were pretty creative in their decorating skills. Russ and I helped put the walls together and then we sat back and sipped on cocomotion while we watched them go to work. It was a nice ending to this crazy busy Saturday.
Christmas season is always a fun and exciting one. We get to do fun traditions and look forward to the festive holiday lights. Last week we went caroling with all our "Gubler" cousins (it was the coldest night we have had yet) and took in a few cookies to some lucky people:)
