ICE CREAM TREATS AT MCDONALDS

WE HAD A PLAY DATE SAT. NIGHT AT THE MCDONALD'S INDOOR PLAY AREA WITH LANDON, NATE, AND REAGAN. AFTER DINNER AND PLAYING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THE KIDS ALL GOT ICE CREAM. LUKE WOULDNT GET IN THE PICTURE BUT AS YOU CAN SEE HE WAS LOOKING ON FROM THE BOOTH. THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME.

POKER NIGHT AT THE WANSTRATH'S

KYLE ENJOYS HAVING FRIENDS OVER FOR A TEXAS HOLD EM GAME ONCE EVERY MONTH OR TWO. HE HELD HIS LAST EVENT LAST WEEKEND. THERE WAS A HUGE CROWD. THE PICTURE OF JOHN AND JENNIFER IS GREAT...THEY WERE A COUPLE OF THE FIRST ONES OUT AND DECIDED TO GRAB THE MONEY FROM THE POT AND PRETEND THEY HAD WON IT. KYLE DIDNT WIN BUT ATLEAST UNCLE BLAKE TOOK HOME THIRD.

FAMILY GIRLS' LUNCHEON

ALL THE GIRLS IN MY FAMILY TRY TO GET TOGETHER AND SPEND TIME DOING FUN THINGS. AFTER CHRISTMAS WE ALL WENT OUT FOR A NICE LUNCHEON IN PORTLAND FOLLOWED BY SHOPPING. STARTING WITH ME...THEN MOM, AUNT BRENDA, AUNT SHERRY, TAMMY, MANDY, AND MY FUTURE SIS IN LAW, MONICA. WE HAD A NICE TIME AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS.

THE GIRLS OUT FOR CHRISTMAS LUNCH

TOGETHER MY GIRLFRIENDS THAT I TEACH WITH GET TOGETHER AT CHRISTMAS TIME FOR LUNCH AND A GIFT SWAP. THIS YEAR WE WENT TO THE OLIVE GARDEN AND HAD LOTS OF FUN. AFTER LUNCH AND LAUGHS WE HEADED FOR CATO FOR SHOPPING. LOTS OF LAUGHS THERE AS WELL AND WE WERE ALL IN THE DRESSING ROOM TRYING ON OUTFITS AND SHOWING THEM OFF TO ONE ANOTHER. OUR CRITICISM OF ONE ANOTHER IS HILARIOUS AND HONEST. I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY GIRLS. THAT NIGHT WE WENT TO SUSAN'S HOUSE AND PLAYED AN EVEN FUNNIER BOARD GAME.
