Ted pulling the kids with the snowmobile. (...and no, thats not Ted's butt crack, its the shirt tucked in -- inserted by Ted)

And playing battle tube--so much fun. This is where everyone tries to stay on the sled/innertube being pulled by the snowmobile while pushing and pulling each other off!

Some of us were lucky enough to see the Olympic Torch coming through town on its way to Vancouver 2010.

Me, mom, and Sarah waiting for the torch.

Christmas has come and gone which I am always sad after...but its fun to look back and remember all the fun. Our Christmas this year started off with me working Christmas Eve night and Christmas night so we went up to my parents late on Boxing Day(December 26 in the US!) and spent a fun filled week with everyone. We were able to see the Olympic Torch go through our local town on its way to Vancouver which was very cool. We had many fun days playing in the field with the snowmobile pulling kids and playing the traditional battle tube which with any templemans can get rough. At one point we had a pile of 4 people being pulled at once because no one would let go. We also ate way to much and talked into the wee hours of the night. And of course Ted's favorite thing: we had the annunal family skate day at the arena with just our immediate family which is 12 adults and 15 kids. People don't believe its just our family they think its open skate for the hour because there are so many of us. Lastly I had to go to Utah in early december so I went and visited with my friend Sarah and her little girl Brea (who I secretly wish I could steal) just kidding sarah. Well its time to start the New Years Diet except this year we are doing a biggest loser competition in my family so we shall see who wins. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, we love and miss you all.
