Christmas in Monty 2009

We had so much fun in Montana this year for Christmas! So fun to have the whole family all together, which doesn't happen nearly enough. We spent a lot of time cozying up by the fire, watching movies, playing guitar hero, and eating delicious food! And, naturally, Reese got loads of attention from her aunts and uncles.

Our bi-annual service project at the food bank...we can pretty much have fun no matter what we are doing when we are all together and it is amazing how much food-sorting 10 people can do in a couple hours!
The gals jamming to band hero!
Dean as an official Eagle Scout! So proud of that guy!
Dean shows us that you can still be a one-man band if no one else can play with you.
Reese became quite the diva with her microphone! She loved singing along as we played guitar hero, but if you think she is putting her new baby doll down, you can forget it!

And what would a trip to Montana at Christmas time be without some ice hockey on the lake?!
Reese's first day on the ice...no major spills and she got to practice some of the moves she has been watching on tv! Next year we might even let her try some skates!




After most of the family went back home, Reese and I stayed a few extra days with MommaCat. We drove to Great Falls for one of Dean's basketball games, and after the most horrendous dance team half time performance, Reese decided she could do better! She ran to the middle of the court and back about 5 times. (And it was far more entertaining than the dancers, in my opinion.)

Great highlights, just sorry Reese's performance video wasn't longer -She really entertained the crowd! (who can take their eyes off her anyway?)

Love your holiday re-cap. Priceless videos of Reesee-baby! It was fun to be husband-less with you... can't wait to see y'all again.
