It has already been quite an eventful month. Hayley had a quiz meet in Myrtle Creek. Dale and I went to our friends Christmas Sweater Party. It was great to see everyone again and visit. The Elephant Gift Exchange was one of the most exiting we've been to. Dale walked out with 5 hats and a festive Christmas tie. I got a tin of Pick up Stix and 2 sets of playing cards. The girls have Winter Programs for Newby. There is the annual Holiday party for the church staff and the Youth staff party. We are looking forward to our small group party and heading out for California for a week. Our plans for New Years day include being near ice. Dale has surgery that day. We have decided that our family is big enough for now. There is always adoption if we get crazy and think our family is not quite complete (or another dog). So we'll be ringing in the New Year a little differently this year.
