The Heath family 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas in Jackson with my parents. The Methodist Church was cancelled due to the weather, so we attended the Presbyterian Church on Christmas Eve. The girls had a great time playing in the snow and building a snowman. Eric and I helped shovel the sidewalks and work off all the great food we ate:) We were able to make it safely home today. I think Skittles was happy to see us! Our friend Tiffany was not able to check on him until today, so after three days without food, he was a little hungry......Our neighbor was plowing out our driveway when we got home. It was a great Christmas:)

Busy Weekend....

Mommy and her girls

We had a very busy weekend. Friday night, I took Kelsey and her friend to the basketball game at TZ while Courtney played at a friend's house. Saturday we had ice skating lessons and an Expo + Christmas play practice at church. Today was the church Christmas program, Courtney's hoopshoot competition, and our staff Christmas party. We are looking forward to Christmas break, to find some time to relax:)

Courtney competed in the regional Elks Lodge Hoopshoot in Watertown and placed 2nd! There were 10 girls in her age bracket and she made 16/25 freethrows. It was fun to watch her shoot!! We hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We will be travelling to Jackson on Wednesday, and Shakopee on Saturday for our Christmas celebrations.

Merry Christmas!!

It's Cold Outside!

It has been extremely cold here lately. Our school was 2 hours late today, due to the cold temperatures. We are hoping that it warms up soon.....the girls are getting anxious for Christmas vacation. Courtney said to me today, "I can't wait to go to grandma and grandpa's house, grandpa makes really good food!" I thought that was pretty cute:)

Here's a photo I took of Courtney and Skittles the other night. He has been spending most of his days inside. Eric took him to the vet. for his shots today-so he is pretty sore-poor kitty......

Cookies and Snowboarding

Our church held their yearly Christmas cookie sale today. So, we spent much of the weekend baking ten dozen cookies to donate for the sale. The girls had a lot of fun baking:) We also have some snow, so they couldn't wait to try out their snowboards. I took some video for you to enjoy.....

Have a good week everyone:)
