The end of 2009

Dec 26 – 31 ... We had fun visiting with some cousins that were in town for the holidays – Hal, Sandra & Sofia, Randy & Donna, Cheryl & Russ. Spent more time visiting with Dad & Mom. We had planned to fly back to Palm Springs on the 30th but the flights were too full so we decide to wait and try for the 31st. We couldn’t get on the 625am flight so we went home and came back for the 1pm flight. It was delayed so we didn’t leave until 5pm. Once we finally arrived in Salt Lake City we waited for another couple of more hours only to find out that we couldn’t get on the flight to Palm Springs. We spent our New Years Eve at a hotel in Salt Lake.
Dec 21 – 25 ... Finished some last minute Christmas shopping. Danny and Lexi were scheduled to arrive on the 21st but the airport in Great Falls was closed due to ice on the runway from freezing fog! They had to overnight in Denver but did make it on Tues about 5pm. Denita and family came up on the 23rd (despite the bad weather/roads). We had a wonderful Christmas Eve at Dad and Moms and then attended Christmas Eve services. On Christmas Day we had a delicious meal with Prime Rib as the main course at Doug and Frans. A good time was had by all!
Dec 17 – 20 ... We unpacked and repacked – We drove out to the farm on Friday the 18th and stayed until Sunday. While there we attended two of Levi’s basketball games and Shay’s church Christmas program.
Dec 12 – 16... Got ready to fly back to Montana. We put the motorhome in storage at the RV park we are staying at. We overnighted at Danny’s on the 15th and he took us to the airport at 5am on the 16th. Our flights were full but we made it all the way with no problem. It’s cold iu Great Falls but not as cold as it was --- no below zero anyway.
