Luke is New to the Wendelyns

Nykki was saying Luke was the best passenger(giving the kids a hard time) She also said if Mom Kathy doesn't behave she has to ride in the kennel on the way home..hehe!

Money is Always an Excepted Gift

 

 

 

The girls are always happy with money for a gift. I like to shop, so I like to not give money. This way they get both.
Tara was wheeling and dealing trying to talk Gail out of his money :)

Christmas on New Years with the Snyders

 

 

 

 

Mom and Dad Christmas 2009

 

 

 

Christmas was Friday Jan 1 at our house. I called Mom Thursday to let her know Gail checked in and would come Friday morning. I asked where and she said she still didn't have her window finished and the furniture and flowers were everywhere, could I have it. My house was a mess as well, but knew the kids would like playing with the girls Wii. I rolled out at 6am to start cleaning and put the ham roast in the oven. The house wasn't as I would have like it, but I was the only one that cared. Nykki had said they would like to be here at 9. Kathy called at 9 and said it would be close to noon. I have to say I was relieved to have more time to prepare. I still had gifts to wrap and food to prepare in between the cleaning.
Not sure why mom picked the girls little school desk for her chair, it couldn't have been comfortable. She is our Bingo caller, she asked to retire this year. Not everyone would put up with the way we play. Mom and Dad both have to put up with the girls opening their presents for them...hope they don't mind :)

Iowa State to a Bowl Game

I had to work until 12:30, then finish Christmas shopping for the Snyder side, last but not least off to Mike & Murts to watch Iowa State play the Minnesota Gophers for a 5pm kick off. Both teams record 6 wins, 6 losses...woo hoo. They played the Insight.com in Tempe Arizona (wished we could have been there) temps are steadily getting colder. Suppose to be negative when we go home. We had a good crowd with lots of good food. While the guys watched the game on TV, we played some games. I learned how to play Dutch Blitz.

Iowa State played a nail biter with a winning score of 14-13. Now we have a winning record. Way to go ISU!!
