combe update

So we all survived christmas and everyone had a great time. so great in fact that we forgot to take any pictures. how sad are we. Tristen got the bike he has been wanting forever now if the snow and ice would go away he would be able to ride it. Alex got a Brandon Marshall jersey and has yet to have taken it off. at least we will have gotten our moneys worth. Dj got his own cell phone and no longer has to steal dan's and I can always find him now. Nikieshia got a stereo and never leaves her room unless it is to go to the mall with her friends. Braxton got his mp3 and now has his ears plugged at all times and can really ignore us when we ask him to do something. Dakota got a ps2 game and now we are not allowed to watch tv as the game is always on. all in all it was great. very relaxing and went by too fast.

New years was pretty quiet. we all stayed home and played games and watched movies. Devanee was over and a couple other friends of the kids but it wasn't too hectic. We all ate too much as usual and now are regretting it as the new year has begun.

Dan's grandmother passed away this week and we went to the funeral yesterday. None of us had been to a native american funeral and it was definately diffferent than we were used to. It was good however to get to meet all of Dan's family and man were there alot of them. After the services and she was loaded in the herse we got in the precession line and come to find out that there were two funerals going on at the same time and we went to the burial of the wrong person. We didn't realize this till after we had all thrown our hand fulls of dirt on the casket and looked around and didn't recignize anyone. But it was all ok because we found out she was a relative on his dad's side so we hit two families funerals in one day, by accident of course but we were covered on both sides. We also got to see his Dad and his wife. Hopefully that will be our fill of funerals for the year.
