New Years Update

We hope everyone had a happy start to the New Year! Nicole and I both worked a full-day on Thursday, New Years Eve Day. Nicole had 2 evals at Fairview in the afternoon so we got a late start on our New Years Eve plans, but all turned out well. We left for Garrison, MN about 5:00 p.m. We were going to spend New Years Eve and the weekend with The Snyders at their family lake cabin. Brent picked us up and we then went to Rosedale to pick up Courtney to begin our trip. We stopped at Frank's Super Valu in Garrison for groceries and arrived at the cabin at 8:30 p.m. The cabin is 2 hrs 15 min from Hudson so nice and close. Brent's parents, Bill and Paula were also at the cabin and we had a blast. It was just the relaxing weekend that we needed to recharge the batteries before 2010. We drank some good wine for New Years and spent some quality time with good friends. Their lake cabin is beautiful and we were very thankful that they invited us.

It was so cold this weekend that we could hardly spend anytime outside at all. We tried on Friday to do some snow shoeing but we couldn't last more than 15-20 minutes outside. Otherwise it was a lot of game playing (Scattegories, Apples to Apples, Things..., cards, Bananagrams.. and eating of some great food, too much food. We came home Saturday afternoon and went to Barker's last night for burgers and just took it easy and watched a movie. Sunday is a day of football. I needed the Steelers to win and Houston and the Jets to lose in order to make the playoffs in my survivor league, which did not happen!
Thanks to the Snyder's for a great weekend, we look forward to many more. To everyone else a prosperous 2010, Happy New Year!
