My Cousin Jodie...one of my BEST FRIENDS!

My Cousin Machelle...Same age as me. I adore her friendship!
Last night was the annual Floyd Family Christmas Party. Not as many came and they were truly missed, but those that came had a good time. This year we had to find a gift that would fit into a 16 oz. jar. It was a more trying gift to find, but people came up with some great ideas. One of the gifts I was most impressed with was a survival kit with fire starters, whistle, poncho, matches and much more. Tony pulled it all out to see it and couldn't get it back in. :) Others were head lights, pocket knives, aprons, movie tickets, M&M's, flashlights, Christmas ornaments, and many more fun things. It's always a good time seeing my cousins that I don't get to see near enough. 



Aunt Louise came out from Florida on Dec. 16th for a two week visit and to attend the party. It was nice having her there. Only two of my Mothers siblings didn't make it. Unfortunately, Aunt Louise wished it would snow while she was here and boy has it snowed. EVERY DAY! Well, I think it has quit two of the days so far but it is falling again today. On her second day here, Louise and Mom went to town and Louise slipped on the ice. She hurt her lower back really bad. She has spent time at the Chiropractor & Emergency room during her visit. We got a good deal on a walker at the D.I. for her and borrowed a wheelchair for the Christmas party. She hasn't had as good of a time as planned. It's still fun having her here to visit with. I haven't seen here in 9 years and she hasn't changed a bit. My Mother is glad she is here. They talk everyday on the phone for at least 1-3 hours so I am sure it is saving on the phone bill.

Sisters...true FRIENDS!
Beaver Mountain opened today. Since the kids and I are on Christmas vacation we are hitting the hills to ski/snowboard. Can't wait to do so tomorrow!
