And So It Begins

O.K. So Uncle Max and Amy have inspired me to give this a try. I'm sure that my family can give you a good chuckle on a daily basis. But more importantly, the family will get to know us better by reading our stories. I am glad to have such a large family but sad that we are unable to see and hear from each other more regularly. Maybe this will be a good vehicle to help make that possible.

On that note, we had our yearly family get-together on Sat. night. The attendees were: the Bliujus family, Tina, our parents, Ron, Sandy, and Jessica, Gloria and Alex with Alex and Daniel. I think it is safe to say that we all had a good time. We were worried that we were going to have all kinds of food and no one show up with the weather being so cold and windy but they were real troopers. There was food eaten by all, music played on the piano, (Jerry bribes the kids to play Christmas carols on the piano), we all played Wii, the kids played together, we had a adult falling down the stairs incident ( we won't mention any names but those of you who attended are laughing really hard right now) and the gift exchange. (Poor Alex almost went home with Mamma Mia). Anyway, thank you to everyone who was able to come out and spend some time with us. We really enjoyed the time together. I wish we could do it more often.

I am presently trying to figure out how this blog thing works, so be patient and I will attempt to add photos. I am presently typing while Tina is entertaining the children with the Wii. Thank goodness for sisters. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. I have not done Christmas cards but maybe I'll get some New Year's Cards out. Talk to you again soon.
