Games NIght!

The games night for Saturday will begin at 7 p.m. with lots of appetizers on the menu. Hopefully everyone will be healthy by then and can enjoy the evening. As far as I know Susan's daughters and son-in-law are coming.
By the way, thanks for the awesome Christmas, thanks for the gifts and for just being you! The electric kettle has been put to use every day. We have used the hot buttered rum mix and the caesar rimmer. The candle holders have also been used and look great in the new dining room. Papa Kojak has almost finished reading his books.
For those who need to know, we purchased a new coffee maker yesterday. It works great!

Tough Day at the Office!

Bowling and such!!!

Great bowling last night with Jason and Susan. I think that I should have added bowling lessons to Dad's wish list. He seems to be struggling way too much! The great big cookie/appetizer making day is still on track for Friday. We will start first thing in the morning, since I will still need to get the house ready for the Doerksen gathering on Saturday. I think both Ashleigh and Kim are coming with Vince. Susan is coming after lunch, since Josh will be in school by then. For those of you who still need to know.....the start time for the gathering is 12 noon.

Update on Kimberly's List

I have decided that I would like an Apple shuffle mp3 player. It's tiny and just right for me.
