Maine for Christmas

We were going to stay home because tickets for Utah and Maine were outrageously priced. Then two days before Christmas we found some really great priced tickets to Maine soooooooooo off we went! It was five degrees out when we landed at noon!!!! and snow on the ground. I only went outside when I had to except one day the sun was shining and Pat said why dont we drive to camp and go snow shoeing??? Well I fell three times in an hour. We climbed up this incline and the three of them shot rounds at some cans. I rested.

Christmas was fun with all the family. We pick up Scott from his new rooming house in Bangor. Bridgett, Gary,Nora and baby Ginny came over. Then the Brad Rands came, Brad,Betsy,Liv and little Gwen.

It was fun watching everyone open their gifts. Bob and I decided not to exchange gifts. The trip was our gift. I sure missed our Dad. I cant believe he is really gone.

We had skit night at Brad's house. The Saunders take the award!! I never laughed sooooooooo hard. Gary played Grandma got run over by a reindeer and Bridgette and Brittany held Nora and baby Ginny up like puppets. Ya had to be there!! Pat and Craig did reindeer games.....throw rings around the antlers. Bob and I did the spelling game with letters hung around peoples necks. Brad and Betsy had a set of chimes and we all had ring ours when she pointed to the number on the songs. The kids all dressed up and did the the nativity of the birth of the Christ Child. It was great fun. Then Craig read "The night before Christmas story?

We had a great visit with family. .
