Next we had a short visit from Nate. The three of us went to Café Rio and Divine Comedy. Here is the only picture we have to commemorate his visit.
We spent Thanksgiving in the Lehi area with Peter’s family. We stayed in Funk’s empty house (which is now inhabited by two couples, two teenagers, and two cats). We ate dinner and spent most of our time at Jennie’s (as the other house was completely devoid of furniture). This fact, however, made it the perfect place for freeze tag. It was the highlight of the holiday.
Naturally, our next big adventures were Christmas in Colorado and New Year’s in Oregon. We almost didn’t make it to Colorado before Christmas due to the blizzards in Colorado and the closure of the Denver airport. Fortunately, we hitched a ride with Brett and Lydia and made it home the day we had planned. Christmas included music (of course), Crayola clay (compliments of Nate and JoLee), a new and improved Dad, and lots of laughter. Oh, and let’s not forget: new pajamas!
After a stressful four hour drive to Denver through a nasty blizzard, JoLee, Taggart, Mom, Peter, and Paige spent the night before departing ways at Aunt Patti’s house. Thankfully, all flights left on time and JoLee made it safely to California and Peter and Paige to Oregon. Paige would like to note that this New Year’s was much less stressful than the previous one and included less throwing up. The entire Funk family was present minus Mark (still a missionary) and Tim and Sarah (still captive in Canada). The highlight of New Year’s was Dave B.’s new Nintendo Wii. Everyone found time to experiment with the new toy.
And that brings us to the end of 2006. 2007 to follow.
