The last chapter of 2006
Happy New Year! Sorry for the lack of communication! I always update my blog on my lunch break, but i haven't had a chance lately because i've been trying to get my GST rebate for our house finished. It takes a long time...and i'm STILL not done. W/E! I'm taking a break and i'll tell you about our holidays. :)
We spend the 16th of Decemeber weekend up in Enderby for our Born family gathering. It was so much fun! But lots of driving on really bad roads. It took us 8 hours to get up there on Friday night! Anyways, it was a great time!
Here's a pic of the steep sledding hill at the camp in Enderby.
My cousin Jamie on the pretty trail :) (she's taken) ;)
On Dec 21nd Dan and I had a little Christmas Party. I had TONS of fun cooking and making everything look pretty. It was a great time! I love pic's of food :)
On Dec 22rd we had our Falk Family Christmas! Below are my Mom & Dad and their grandchildren :) We had Goose and Ham...it was delicious! I love Goose!
Here we are probably ending our Gift Exchange Game. NOTE: The girl on the left of the picture sitting on the piano bench is my cousin Jared's FIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are SO excited for them! Shanna is so perfect for him! They are planning a late June wedding! :)
Christmas morning (Dec 23rd) at our house! :) One of the presents I bought dan was new racing gear, he loved it! :) We had so much fun opening presents on Christmas morning! He definatly spoiled me this year!!! 
Dan's making my breakfast while watching a movie on our new portable DVD player (for our many travels!)
Ahh, Dec 25th! Christmas! We went up to the cabin this year with my family! It was SO much fun! We spent lots of time Snowmobiling, playing games, eating WAY too much food and sleding behind the ATV's. What a blessing to have a white Christmas! Below: Christmas dinner

Dan and Colleen snowmobiling - it was only like -5ish, so that was nice! Sometimes it gets to like -30 up there!
Hockey on the ice rink. We didn't feel like getting the skates out, so we played in our snow boots.
Rachel makinga snow angle - what a cutie!!!
As well as all this fun stuff...we had a wonderful Christmas with Dan's family on the 24th! They came to our house for brunch, and then we went to a gathering, to church and then opened presents and had appys. It was so much fun! At around 7:00 pm we headed out and made the trek to the cabin. Boy was that an adventure. The roads were closed because of avalanches, but we snuck through anyways and drove through avalanches that were covering the whole road. It was fun...at times...and kinda scary at others. But the important thing is, we did make it, we didn't die, and we shopuld proabbly just stay in the motel next time :)
Anways, hope all your holidays were as exciting and filled with lots of love, smiles, and great firends and family! You are all dear to our heart! Sorry about the spelling mistakes.
Love you all!

Erin, if you're reading this, would there be any way you would unblock me from reading your blog if you still have one? I'd love to keep up with you. I understand if you're keeping it small. Just thought I'd ask. Happy New Year to you, too.
