Well citizenship interviews went well...we both passed our exams with flying colors and are now just waiting for our date to be sworn in...the last and final step! It will be nice to have this under our belt and not worry about renewing our green cards! The rest of December was uneventful until the week of Christmas when we had record breaking snowfalls. We got snowed in for two days which closed even the airport...this threatened the ability of our company to arrive! Ugh! After 2 1/2 days the airport opened...6 hours after it opened our company was to arrive...which they did! Blair & Dar, Lana, Samuel, & Baby Isabelle (Ibelle as Jaelynn calls her) arrived on the 23rd.
Christmas was great. Along with the arrival of our "flying" company we also had Porky & Ann arrive by car Christmas Eve day. We ate well, opened plenty of gifts, and ate well again! :-) Santa was good to all, and above everything, it was great to have family together again.
Boxing Day Ehren took Emily, Blair, Deana and Jay skiing to a nearby hill. Emily had a great time and can't wait to go again. New Years Eve we went to Deana & Jay's for a fondue party which was a blast. Of course the chocolate fountain was the hit of the night :-) We had to leave a bit early because neither of our kids were wanting to sleep...and both of them were sick with colds. Needless to say we had a great time at the party and saw in the New Year (better than last year!). Most of our company is gone now and the Ait's leave on the 3rd.
