We rooted for the Green Bay Packers. This house is a Cleveland Browns house, so there was no cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Martin even got into the spirit. Stefani decided he needed to join in on the fun.
God's Blessings,

Super Bowl 2010
We decided to throw a small Super Bowl party. We two couples from church over for the big game. We ate corn chowder, fresh bread, bacon cheddar pinwheels, and other assorted goodies.

Christmas 2010 Trip to St. Louis
We decided we could only visit with one side of the family for Christmas this year. Winter travel is difficult, stressful, and sometimes down right dangerous. Since we spent Thanksgiving with the Ketelsens we decided to spend Christmas with the Marrahs.
We left the Monday after Christmas and drove straight through. The weather was great and the drive was smooth sailing. We made it in time to exchange gifts that night.
Tuesday was a difficult day. Stefani's Grandpa (Gavisk) was moved into a nursing home. His Alzheimer's was getting too much for her Grandma to handle by herself. We did everything we could make the transition as smooth as possible. His recliner was brought in a set up in his room, we got him a modest television, and set up pictures around the room. Joshua, Stefani, Stefani's Mom, and Grandma all stayed and ate lunch with him at the nursing home. The staff seem caring and are very nice. So far the only issue he has had is he wanders around looking for Stefani's Grandma. We are happy he is getting some exercise. As long as he doesn't walk out the door. We sincerely appreciate all the prayers we received. Keep them coming for Grandma as she finds a new "normal".
Wednesday Joshua and Stefani just bummed around town. We had a nice breakfast and did a little shopping (Target of course!). That evening we had some great Mexican at Las Fuentes.
Thursday, our last day in town, Joshua and Stefani enjoyed a nice breakfast with our friends, Carolyn and Jason and their son, Noah. Stefani's parents took a half day off work and we spent the afternoon playing Stefani's favorite game, Funglish, and watching movies.
Friday, on New Year's Eve, we traveled back North. The trip was uneventful until we were about 2 hours from Onaway. We hit some very serious fog. Luckily, the temperature was warm and we didn't have to stop for the night due to dangerous driving conditions. We made it home in time to ring in the New Year from our couch.
The visit was relaxing and just what we needed after a busy Advent season. We hope your Christmas season was full of fun and family!
