Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas AT HOME! In case you don't remember, we spent last Christmas in the NICU with Trystan.


Although we were very thankful he was doing so well, it was way better having him home with us. The Billings Gazette did an article about Trystan and Christmas in the NICU, which was really special to us. The Gazette had asked the NICU doctors and nurses who they could contact for a special story, and they all said Trystan. He sure has made a lasting impression in so many lives. Here's the link in case you missed it: http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/article_cc87d7d8-f0f2-11de

We spent Christmas morning with just the three of us...sleeping in, a little sledding and a special trip to the shed, where Santa left some presents. Trystan had a blast with the presents--ok more so with the paper, bows and boxes.






We then heading into Grama Ruth's house, where we had a wonderful time with her, along with Jared & Brynde. We never leave there hungry!

Saturday after Christmas, we patiently waited for Grampa Joel and Grama Deb, as they trucked their way thru the horrible storm that hit MN, ND and parts of MT. Thankfully, they made it safe and sound Saturday night. Trystan was very happy to see them and gave them a big smile on their way in. We really enjoyed our days with them and another Christmas. Trystan's biggest moment was when he got a JD 4-wheeler from Grampa Joel and Grama Deb, along with numerous other JD toys. He already loves the green paint, but are we really surprised??!!
















We have so much to be thankful for and are so excited to what 2010 has in store for us! Happy New Year!
