Friends & Family

The 16th was Jerod's 20th birthday so we had a little get together at my mom's the following Fri. My mom made some yum-yum chili & a cake w/ caramel & heath bars in it...WAY good! Pretty much everyone was there except for Joe; he had to work. Even Brandon's close friend Cy came. He is in the Navy & was visiting for a week. It was really good to see him! He has defiantly gotten A LOT bigger since the last time I saw him!! Dang! He could totally kick my butt!

(Blowing out the candle!)

(He really liked his b-day present from Nick & I! ;)




(Cy is sooo flippin TALL!)

(We took a sibling pic for one of my mom's Christmas presents.)

That Fri was the day that we had to deal w/ the FOOT of snow that had fallen the night before!! It's a good thing my neighbor has a skid loader & is nice enough to let us use it or I would have been stranded! Nick tried to go to work early that morning but got stuck twice within a few miles of our house so he just came back home. He helped Chad shovel their driveway until they could get to the skid loader. Nick loves that thing which I don't mind at all!! ;) I ended up being an hour late for work but I made it up so it all worked out.

The next day was the Siebel side Christmas at Hickory Hills. I was surprised that we were still having it considering the bad weather. We got down there about 2:30 & were only there for about an hour & a half. The wind started blowing & drifting the snow so we packed up early & headed back home. Brandon, Jerod, & Ally rode together & ended up sliding & hitting a tree on the way there!! Crazy boys! It really didn't do anything to the car but it really wouldn't have mattered considering Jerod's car is a piece.


(I'm sooo sick of him & his dang middle finger in EVERY pic that I'm just going to bite it off!!)


(Uncle Denny & Brandon...& then some weird guy in the background?? Hee Hee!!)

(Ally & Anna)


(Missy & Anna)

(This just gives you a hint to the size of my family...pretty BIG!)


We all decided to head to Brandon & Brice's duplex to hang out for the rest of the night. Anna, Ruzz, & I stopped by HyVee & grabbed some munchies & alcohol & then met up w/ Brandon, Jerod, Ally, & Brice at the plex. (Nick showed up later.)

Nick had to work since he didn't get to all his stops the day before so he had to drive down to the Missouri boarder & back. He didn't end up getting home until 7:30ish. I was pretty nervous & very glad when he made it back to town!!

Sun morning was our Christmas with Barb & Collin. Barb is Nick's ex-step-mom & Collin is his half brother. Nicole, Grant, & Little G were there too. We had a scrumptious brunch of crepes, fruit, sticky rolls, breakfast casserole, & sausages wrapped in bacon...aka...heart attack waiting to happen! ;) Little G cracks me up!! He's sooo smart & funny...oh, & spoiled!! He had fun opening all his...& other people's...presents! It was a holly jolly time!!


(This is called the Happy Chair...I don't think Little G gets it?? Too funny! He was already sick of pictures!)

(I got one good one though!)

(The whole group!)

(Little G liked the santa hat.....)

(.....but I don't know if it liked him!)

(He loves books!)

(I guess he can be happy in the Happy Chair!)

(Barb opening up a present!)

(Gotta love Bath & Body Works!)

(Collin & one of his presents!)

(Love the shirt! I think it is very Romeo & Juliet circa Leo & Claire! Don't tell Collin that though!!)

(New earrings!)

(Little G helping mom w/ her new Mickey Mouse comfy pants!)

(More presents!!)


(I made him twist the hat so that I could see the sweet design on the side!)

(Barrel of monkeys!)

(He got a tub of gummy bears that he can only eat if he goes on the potty...I guess it's working good so far!)

(The Sibs! Love this pic!! :)

Plenty more to come all!! I've just been preoccupied...I got the Twilight Series for Christmas!! Once I'm done then I'll have a life again! ;)
