Christmas '06

I'm a little slow on this blog thing so forgive my belated updates! Christmas came and went quickly, but we had a blast having our friends Matt & Julie over for food and games Christmas eve! The four of us are huge Lost fans (for those of you who don't know, Lost is a tv show that has sucked us in) and we attempted to play the Lost board game...take our advice, do NOT waste your time...we were completey LOST trying to figure it out! Molly and Josh joined us later and we had a white elephant gift exchange, then topped off the night with a game of Scattegories! We woke up Christmas morning and Ben prepared a breakfast spread for Molly, Josh, Loni, Russ and me...ahhh I just love eating these days! Loni and I are experiencing pregnancy together as she's just a little over month behind us so per Mom Brinsko's orders, we were to take a "belly" shot together...so there you go! Ben and I spent the rest of the day relaxing, opening our stocking gifts to each other and realizing how blessed we have been in '06...our marriage, our love, our son on the way, our home, our jobs, our friends and family, our health, our Husky Maiah, and most importantly our gracious Lord! We pray the new year has had an awesome beginning for you all and stay posted as we'll be announcing our little Schinke's arrival soon!
