We're Alive!

The holiday season has ended (months ago), and we're still alive to share it with you. We're sorry it's been such a long time since we've posted. As most of you know, I injured myself early this year, and lost a few toes. I'm doing great now. Physical therapy is over, and I'm ready to begin school this month. We both thank you all very much for your prayers. With all the free time I have, we figured we're long overdue to post a new blog.

First off; Ryan, Jenni, & Landon were able to spend the whole week of christmas with us. It was great to have them here, and Niki was able to be here for a majority of the time. It was a blast to see Landon growing up, and spend his first christmas with him.
We've combined a bunch of those pictures throughout the week HERE.

Two days before christmas, the Mcintire side of the family came over for an early christmas before Laurie and Stony left for florida. It had been years since we had all been together, so it was very nice to be able to spend with them...Although being nice was far from what took place. It was a night of competition with foosball, ping pong, and catch phrase. Pictures from that can can be seen HERE.

Christmas Eve Niki and I headed back to Tinley Park. We attended service with Alaina, then the whole family headed to Niki's Aunt Ronnie for dinner. It was Ronnie and Dave's first opportunity to show off their new kitchen, and it looked great! After dinner and some presents we headed back to the Beres house for all the kids presents. Those pictures are MIA right now, but as soon as their found, we'll post them.

Christmas Day was back at the Mcintire's with the Bodnar family. We all enjoyed presents, food, and of course the night ended with the grab bag. I think everyone did well and I'm sure everyone has enjoyed a few special months with their grab bag gifts by now. Christmas day pictures can be seen HERE.

And of course, a full week with Niki and Ryan can't happen without lots of time set aside to play music. The basement was stocked with instrumets, and we all spent time on every instrument. If you want to see us looking like rockstars, go HERE
