New Years Eve
We were lucky to be invited to "An Evening in Paris" by the Lake Region Healthcare Foundation on New Years Eve by our friends Jason and Bridget. The girls were able to ring in the new year with Grandpa and Grandma Becker.
The evening consisted of the following:
7:00 Ballroom dancing lessons
8:00 Horsd'oeuvres and music by a String Trio
9:00 Sumptuous Five-Course French Dinner, Espresso Bar and Dancing to the 20-piece MState Jazz Band
12:00 Champagne Toast and the announcements of a trip to Paris and a Diamond Ring.

They had 100 glasses of champagne with a diamond tied to each of them. For $50 you could pick a glass and 1 of the 10o was a real diamond and the others were CZ's. Jason refused all night to buy Bridget one and she REALLY wanted one but it had to be #31 (the date their son was born) He said it wasn't practical and they would never win. Well, he didn't buy her one and the number that was drawn was...#31!!!!! Can you believe it? She could have been walking out of there with a $2,200 diamond. We made sure we gave him a hard time the rest of the time we were there.
Below is a picture from the evening.
Christmas
Christmas started on the 23rd with opening presents between the 4 of us. On Christmas Eve morning we drove to Wadena to my parents. I was expecting the roads to be bad but they weren't too bad at all. We went to church that night with my mom and dad. On Christmas Day, Santa brought a bunch of gifts for the girls. We spent the morning opening presents from Santa and then from each other. My brother was not able to make it but he had sent his gifts with my mom when she babysat Simon a few days earlier.
On Saturday we went to Hancock for the Becker Christmas. We were suppose to start eating/opening gifts at around 11ish but Jay didn't show up until 1:30pm. I guess he had some problems with the furnace and had to shovel. We left Hancock on Sunday around 1pm to head home. It was great to spend time with our family.
Here are just a few pictures of the long weekend.
