Happy New Year!

Once again Christmas and New Year's is over and gone in a flash! Santa was very good to Steven & I (and the cats too)! I think the theme of Christmas this year for me was the "gift of music" as I received cd's, dvd's, and of course, my spankin' new acoustic guitar! I'll post pics of it later, as I am sans camera at the moment.

Steven received almost everything on his list (except the much anticipated PS3...sorry honey!) and was very happy with all his gifts. My sister gave him a game that he really wanted for his PC...seriously, this game has 6 discs to it, and will take him a good 6 months to finish it!

Mom & Brayden were here as well & were with us on Christmas morning and we opened some gifts here. Later in the day we went to John & Shauneen's for more presents and some delicious turkey goodness. Played some games, ate some pie, and went home stuffed!

On Boxing Day, Steven & I went to the farm in Wynyard to spend some time with his family. More presents and more turkey/perogies/cabbage rolls/treats in general! It was great to see the family and friends that we haven't seen in a long time. Later in the week we spent an evening making deer sausage (fun with intestines)! Anyone that wants some, let me know!

Our New Year's wasn't too exciting, as we travelled home from the farm yesterday. We were supposed to come home on Saturday so we could spend New Year's with Kalee & Benny in Consul. However, I spent Saturday laying in bed with a bucket attached to me, because I had the flu...not fun at all. Steven also had to leave early today to drive up to Slave Lake, so it was probably best that we stayed home. So, we had a Six Feet Under marathon and ate some yummy treats and went to bed after the clock struck midnight.

So, today I should be putting away the tree & all the decorations, but instead, I'm playing with my new presents. My dad gave me a webcam for Christmas, and I've been adjusting that and then decided to update! Might go to Stacey & Dave's later for a visit....should be fun!

All the best in '07!
Melissa & Steven
