Christmas 2009

The Payne's had an enjoyable Christmas with both sides of the family. This year will be remembered as the Christmas that involved a lot of snow, and everyone being chauffeured up the hill to get to Rod & Sue's house. Below is a video of Levi reading the Christmas story and a link to some pictures from our Christmas. You may have to copy and paste the link into your web browser.

Christmas Decorating and Concerts 2009

The last two weekends have been busy with Christmas decorating and Christmas concerts. We spent much of last Saturday decorating the house for Christmas, and on Sunday the kids had their Christmas concert at church. The video shows (with not the best quality) Josiah in the middle of the screen. The adult Christmas musical runs Thursday-Sunday and has been a lot of fun to be a part of. Enjoy the pics and video.

Snowball Fight

We had our first real snowfall of the winter this week. The kids and I decided to have a snowball fight.

Thanksgiving Weekend 2009

The Payne's enjoyed a four day weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving in St. Paul, MN. Thanksgiving dinner consisted of the usual foods (turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, pies, etc. and of course poppyseed bread). That same night we got some exciting news about a new addition to the family in the summer of 2010. Andy and Molly announced that they are expecting their first child, and needless to say everyone was very excited.
I spent Friday afternoon with Jonah at our 2nd annual MN Wild hockey game. The Wild won and we saw a hat trick. It was a great time. On Saturday afternoon Cari and the boys went to a model train museum with Andy and Molly. On Saturday night we went to a Mediterranean restaurant for dinner. Lots of different foods to experience. Much of it I'm still not sure what it was.

Enjoy the pics.

PS: Cheese Balls may be a new West/Payne Thanksgiving tradition. :)
