Day #6, Christmas Day in Idaho 2009

Dec 25, 2009 Friday Christmas Day.
Lots of presents and lots of fun.

Christmas is a very happy time of year and family makes it the best.

Briana (7 yr old) was out giving the other kids a ride on the sleigh behind the 4 wheeler. She just loves to drive the 4 wheeler but it about drives the grandmother crazy.

Day #5, Christmas Eve in Idaho 2009

Dec 24, 2009 Thursday, Christmas Eve.
Everyone went bowling at The REX.
Some times the pins went down and some times the ball just slipped by all the pins.

The following is Jordan and her dad bowling together. As you see Jordan bowled first but her ball takes the long way to the pins. While her day bowls second his ball gets to the pins first. But it's all good fun for all.

Everyone enjoyed the pizza. We even made Staisha serve us.

More games where played at home.

Grandma made jamies for all the grand kids.

Day #4, Christmas in Idaho 2009

Dec 23, 2009 Wednesday.
The Ricks girls were at the Rumseyes while the Rumsey kids were at school.

Then the Rumseyes got home and the real fun started. Garett was pulling the girls behind the ATV trying to tip them. He fially got them off and was very proud of himself. Fun was had by all.

Day #3, Christmas in Idaho 2009

Dec 22, 2009 Tuesday. This was a much more exciting day.
First we went to Briana's Christmas presentation at her school. She did an excellent job. She may be a performer in the making.

Then we went to visit Linda (Nina's sister). That is always an exciting experience. She cooked us some very good cheese sandwiches. She did make fun of the handicapped (the colored impaired) but I guess I will just need to get used to it.

Then at about 5:30 pm we got a call from Brandon & Terri telling us they had had an accident and rolled their car. No one was hurt. The paramedics were on the scene with in minutes. They just happened to be on the other side of the freeway and saw the accident happen. So Lyle & Michele & Nina & I drove about 175 mile to pick them up with all there Christmas stuff they were hauling. Some of the roads were very slick but we made it and got them to Michele's about 1:00 am today. Now the Rumey kids are at school and the Ricks kids are playing in the snow. The best of a bad thing is that no one was hurt.

Day #2, Christmas in Idaho

Dec 21, 2009 Monday. Not much exciting happened today. We traveled for Pendleton to Egin.
The roads were not too bad but we had snow on the side of the road.

There were barns, lots of barns.

We made it to Idaho.

The cows were having some very cold meals.

There were signs of Christmas on the Road. Someone is going to get a small truck.

Day 01, Christmas in Idaho 2009

Dec 20, 2009 Sunday. We are on the road again. On our way to Idaho for Christmas. All the grand kids will be at Michele's for Christmas and we just could not stand missing all the fun. Tonya is working Christmas so she is the only party pooper. Oh Well, I think her and her "friend" will have their own a good time for Christmas.

If was very overcast all day & rainy for most of the day. No snow so it was all good.

The new Tacoma Narrows Bridge looks good.

We flew by the Washington State Capital building in Olympia. But Nina got a picture.
Merry Christmas to all and to all Good Night from Pendleton Oregon.
