~Snow Day 1/1/2010~

The Conrad family has a lot of fun traditions! New Year's day happens to be one of them.

Every New Year's we all head up to the Ranch for a SNOW day ! We all have so much fun tubing, sledding, snowmobiling, 4 wheeling & just playing in the snow !

Everyone brings food to munch on. Dad always has a toasty fire going & Mom always has some hot cocoa and hot food going up at the house. So nice & cozy after hours of fun in the cold snow.

Matt and I are still sore a few days later!Great fun was had by all !
We are so blessed with such a beautiful place our family can enjoy together !

We wish you all a wonderful 2010 !

Farewell 2009.....

We decided last minute to have a New Years celebration. It was a good time to get together with our families.

We had some great food, fun games, good times talking and some relaxed in the hot tub. Matt and I are so grateful for our families. We are blessed beyond measure! Unfortunately we did not get a picture of everyone. Thank you to all that came ! Loves!

Now on to New Years resolutions for 2010.... Some fail some succeed. I'm happy to say Matt and I reached a few of our goals. Better health in particular.

Together in 2009 we said goodbye to 100 pounds of fat ! I say that is something to be proud of :D May we continue this practice throughout our lives and keep it going ! Let's be Hot & Happy & Healthy in 2010 !

Im so proud of you Matty ! I LOVE you !

Happy 2010!!!

~A Wonderful Christmas Season~

Here are a few pictures from our old fashion family Christmas

It all started off at the Ranch on the 19Th with the Conrad family party. It was a great time had by all. Santa even came for the good boys and girls.

There was great food to be eaten, gift exchange, and a really tender program . It was a great evening.

Next family function was a dinner at my parents on Sunday the 20Th . We got to eat in the new dining room at Mom's and Dad's house. It was great!!! It has been so nice to have more room to eat as a family.

As always the food was wonderful! Thanks Mom & Dad! :D

Christmas Eve Chris and Nicole invited us over for Prime Rib dinner. It was fantastic!!! What a great night of family togetherness. Thanks Guys!

Christmas day at our house... We must have been on Santa's "good" list cause we got spoiled!

Matt & I got up and exchanged gifts with one another. It was a great Christmas morning together!

After Matt made us his oven omelet (which is delish!) and I made blueberry muffins. We invited my sister Erica over for breakfast and Matt's parents dropped in to say hello. It was nice to visit with family and friends all day. We even got a little R&R in watching a movie "The Family Stone".

Christmas eve we had dinner with my family at our home. It was delicious and a lot of fun! Matt , Erica and I had a BIG surprise in store for Jack & Jayci.

Jack & Jayci just LOVE cats! So with Jess and Jill's permission we gave them Moe. It was a very special Christmas!

We are very blessed with such a great family and such wonderful friends! We are so grateful for our Saviour Jesus Christ and for our Father in Heaven for sending us his son. May we all reflect upon Christ throughout the year to come and remember the importance of his birth.

Make 2010 a great New Year !!!
