I didn't get to blog about the gnarliest party ever yet, so now is the time. Who could ask for more at a party, but feathered and teased hair, leg warmers, shoulder pads, roller skates and cory hart...

...Actually i must say this christmas season has been fantastic for fun parties. Parties with great people that dont need to drink to have a good time. Parties with big hair (see above). Parties with murder mystery games. Parties with foosball tables and really good cheese balls. Parties with bowling. Parties with scary clowns. But always parties with friends. thats what makes them great! thanks friends! I am looking forward to more good times in the next couple of weeks. Me and my family leave for churchill manitoba on thursday. The trip there takes two days of driving plus an overnight train ride. I've never been on a train, I am SO excited! We get to hang out with the polar bears for a week and snowmobile and play in the snow, and i really want to make an igloo and sleep outside!

Then after churchill its off to snowboarding in banff and lake louise.......who is this expert?? :)

so over all i am just looking forward to a super holiday with very little to do with anything i would do normally in my days, except of course have fun. This christmas I have really wanted to see the reality and meaning of Jesus' birth in a new way as well. My family and I decided not to give eachother gifts this year, but to buy a needed gift for a family through world vision. We ended up buying a cow! :) It is amazing the decreased stress in not feeling like i need to buy gifts and send cards. I feel like the family time and love is first. I do admit i have seen things i want though and been like "darn i cant ask for that now".....but i am growing and appreciating more the gift of Jesus. what more could i ask for? what have you all been learning? Well, cheers to all of you reading, hope you all have a happy, love filled christmas season!
