NEW YEAR.....NEW GOALS!

Well.....it is half way throught January and once again, I am behind in getting another post up here! So here it goes....a recap of Christmas!
Christmas was quite interesting this year! We decided to head out a little early on our 10 hour trip to Don's parents in Ponca, Nebraska! I declare myself a mean mom as a traveler. We started to hit freezing fog and drizzle with about 3 1/2 hours to go so my kids were not allowed to drink in the car for fear we would have to stop and go to the bathroom....and just when I was going to pull in a drive through to get them something to eat, it started to sleet harder so I through the snack bag at them and told them to eat up! We made it to our destination in 8 1/2 hours and only had to stop once three hours in to gas up! And yes, I did feed my kids dinner when we got to their house...even if it was 9:15 at night! They survived and so did we! Well the snow started to fall and fall and fall and fall...FOR THREE DAYS STRAIGHT!!! We ended up with 17 inches of snow, 50 mile an hour winds, 10 foot drifts, and 8 people cooped up in a house for 3 1/2 days! Talk about CRAZY kids! This was nothing compared to the drive home!!! Kysen decided to puke in the car, pee in an empty pop can, and wrap his seat belt around him so tight we had to cut the seat belt from the car! HOME NEVER LOOKED SO DELIGHTFUL! So, Christmas was a little crazy for the Mohr's but we all survived and it went down in the record books as EVENTFUL!
For the rest of this update, I am going to post it in pictues, since I actually have them all loaded on my computer!


We attended our first "Ugly Sweater Christmas Party"! These were pretty hideous outfits but it was a lot of fun and we had some wonderful food there!

Kaitlyn had her Christmas Party at her school and what a fun time it was! We decorated cookies, played games, and just celebrated with the class!


We took Kaitlyn and my cousin Bryson to an Avalanche hockey game! Our seats were only 9 rows up so the action was pretty close! THE KIDS LOVED IT!



We let the kids open their presents here a little early since we were going out of town. Kaitlyn got the book she has been wanting from her Granny Great. Kysen got a train set from Granny Great and a really cool personalized book written by a fellow classmate of mine from Grandma Sherri!



And finally, we rang in the NEW YEAR! We went over to a neighbor's house and yes, the kids stayed up past midnight and helped Don and I ring it in! And no, that is NOT our puppy! The kids would like it to be, but it's not!

I would like to show you all that my hubby can be a cowboy if he wants to! At his company Christmas party for the Wyoming and Colorado people, they gave each of us custom fitted COWBOY hats! I apologize that this picture is not high quality, but my phone was the only camera that I had.....how do you think he looks?

Well that about wraps up our holiday season and the beginning of a NEW YEAR 2010! I pray that each of you celebrated as much as we did! I look forward to 2010 and the excitement that it has in store!
