Rick and crew worked hard to put on a really cool nighttime sledding party! They strung Christmas lights along the side of the sled hill, added a guide rope up the path along the side, put old tires around the bases of the trees to act as bumpers (this after an unfortunate incident last year where Max's face met a tree), set up some floodlights, and even busted out the hog roaster for heat and a handy cooking surface. He grilled hot dogs and burgers, while Mom had chili and hot sandwiches, hot chocolate and cookies back at the house. Everyone had a blast, and there's been talk of making it an annual event, so maybe you can all join us next year! I'm posting more pictures over at my blog if you want to check them out.

Champagne mishaps
Too tired to go out for New Year's! Here's what happens when you have wine with dinner and then Steph wants Champagne after the chocolate fondue dessert. She got more than she was asking for.

Laura's in the News

From left, Plymouth High School class representatives Megan Barron, Hailey Hennessy, Maggie Morrow and Allie Berger along with Department Chair Laura Kruyer (center) show off the plaque awarded to PHS by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce as a “Head of the Class” Best Buy School in the state for 2009. Triton High School also received the honor in ceremonies Tuesday. Pilot photo/Rusty Nixon
There's a long article that went along with it, and you can find it here. I would like to know why there's no quote from Laura in the article. Also, who are they all looking at? It's definitely not the photographer!

Christmas dinner
Hi Everyone!
We have an initial list of food items people are bringing to the "Greenhouse" for Christmas. Dad is providing the meat. We have to cook it! We don't want to overwhelm Dad with tons of leftovers, so the plan is to bring your dish, then take the leftovers home!
Rita: Cookies
Marlene: Salad and dessert
Mike: Cookies
Dana: Jello salad
Carol: Cinnamon bread
Chris: 2 cheesecakes, broccoli salad
Greg: Snack Tray
Pam: Antipasto tray
Stephanie: Appetizers
Popi: Cranberry salad
Janis: Shrimp
Laura: Rolls and Juice boxes
Holli: NOODLES
Bethany: Potatoes
Amelia: Green beans
Kayla: Fudge
If I missed anyone and you want to be added, by ALL MEANS!....
I'll post this on both the blog and group email.
Thanks,
Dana
Added by Holli: Along with your dish, please bring something to carry other leftovers in. I don't want to bring home 18 pounds of noodles! If I remember, I'll do what my mom did at Thanksgiving and just get a bunch of ziploc bags to give to people on the way out.
P.S. Yes, I have the power to change posts. Mwah hah hah!
