Well, last weekend we were finally able to make it back to Pender to celebrate Christmas - and what a wonderful time we had!!! After many weeks of post-ponements, tons of snow, drifting roads shut and dangerous wind chills, the long wait was definitely worth it. We had such fun. We headed over on Friday night and the kids could hardly stand it they were so excited - OK, me too!!! Wendi and Jon were already there and it was fun getting caught up with them and Mom and Dad. Saturday morning we went to cousin Jase's wrestling tournament for a bit - congrat's on the wins Jase! and then the Stoltenberg's arrived at lunch. There is nothing like having fun with cousins.....I have such fond memories of this growing up and I love that Kate and Ben have those special times with family too. After lunch we tackled some big sledding hills, dug an awesome snow tunnel in Papa's back yard, opened presents, and spent some quality time together. It had been way too long since we had all been together. Sunday AM - Mom made a delicious breakfast with some of our favorite Suhr tradition's (swedish pancakes & ponrea) with all of the fixings - thanks Mom for all of the delicious food this weekend!!! Then we all headed home after lunch, but not without planning our next get together. I think that we all agreed, not seeing one another for more than 2 months is just way too long!
With Christmas celebrations now over, we are looking forward to basketball for Miss Kate and whatever exciting things that Ben can dream up over the next few weeks.
