Merry Christmas

 
Things were busy as always leading up to Christmas.  Michelle and I worked half a day on Christmas Eve.  We then went out and picked mom up.  We had a few stops to make and then made it to our house.  We picked up some food from Panda House and had a nice and delicious dinner.  Brendan was very excited and wanted to open presents.  We were hoping to wait for JJ to get out of work.  We could not hold Brendan off long enough. 
 
Everyone was excited.
 

Thank you, I love you!
 
JJ was supposed to get out of work at 6:30pm.  We waited and waited.  He did not get out till after 7:30pm and home around 8:00pm.  He worked and 11 hour plus day.  But he made it home and opened his presents from mom.
 
 
Michelle and I then took mom home.  JJ and Brendan stayed at home.  We got back around 10:30pm and got Brendan to bed.  Michelle and I then went to the basement and wrapped the rest of the presents.  We got to bed around 1:00am.
 
 
Brendan woke us up around 7:30am on Christmas morning.  He had already went through his Christmas stocking.  We tried waking JJ and he was to tired.  So we started without him.
 


 
 
Michelle and I took a nap after having some breakfast.  JJ finally got up around 1:00pm.  Kayla came over and then we were off to Mom and Dad's.  We had a great meal and visited with the family.
 
 
 There was a ginger bread house contest!



The winner!

It was a great Christmas celebration.  We all missed dad.  He will always be with us.
 
I hope everyone else had a great and Merry Christmas.  Never forget what the celebration is all about.  God gave us the greatest gift we could ever have!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
