Logan and I thought we'd save a little paper this year and post our Christmas letter on the blog.
So, without further ado...
LOGAN & MELISSA'S TOP 10 MOST EXCITING EXPERIENCES OF 2008:
10- Needing to dig the truck out of the snow in Tahoe: We were pleasantly surprised to have a few feet of snow dump on us the weekend we went to Tahoe in February. This was our first trip up there with the Tacoma, and we made good use of the four-wheel-drive and snow tires.
9- Holding a flower from the Enchanted Tiki Room: In April we took a trip to Disneyland and enjoyed a special behind the scenes tour, on which we got to hold one of the original flowers from the Enchanted Tiki Room.
8- Making it through Thanksgiving without Clark nibbling anyone's fingers: Our dog, Clark, has some problems with being afraid of strangers, so we were a little nervous about having a dozen people over to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. But he did really well and made some new friends.
7- Experiencing the joy of having grass in our backyard again: On a lovely day in March we were thrilled to lay sod in our backyard. I can't say much more than that- it's just nice to have grass.
6- Hosting a party for 50 friends in our backyard: In June my parents celebrated 35 years of marriage. We threw a surprise anniversary for them in our backyard. It was a big success and lots of fun.
5- Attending a Colorado Rockies game with a rain delay: In August we flew to Colorado to attend my cousin's wedding. After the rehearsal dinner we went to see the Rockies play, but the game was delayed for almost an hour because of heavy rain. There was some lightning too!
4- Becoming the cannonball king: We had a great time at our church's annual Labor Day weekend family camp. Logan and our friend Geoffrey spent their afternoons having cannonball dive contests with the kids in the swimming pool.
3- Braving the July forest fires: We decided to take a road trip/camping trip in July, but unfortunately there were forest fires all over California that month. We dealt with detours due to closed roads, incredibly smoky air, and traffic delays. But we had a great time anyway.
2- Going clubbing in Reno: In June our friends Matt and Bonnie tied the knot. Logan served as a groomsman in the wedding, and attended Matt's bachelor party prior to the wedding. He and the guys had fun at a club in Reno, dancing the night away.
1- Bringing home our new bundle of joy: Our biggest life-changing event of the year was adopting our dog Clark from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. He's so silly and sweet, and makes us laugh all the time. He's really part of the family.
We hope this Christmas finds you all happy and healthy. We're so thankful for all of the blessings in our life, and our friends and family figure prominently in those blessings.Don't be a stranger- feel free to comment on the blog so we know someone is reading it!
Love,
Melissa, Logan and Clark
