Huge Holiday Update

Hope everyone had a blessed holiday season!  The Hanners have been busy with parties, trips, and time spent with family over the last month.  This update is for Grandpa, who kindly requested an update.  Look out, it's a biggie.

The Hanner company party was at Prime Time this year.  Everyone got all-you-can-play passes to all the go-cart, putt-putt, batting cages, bowling, bumper cars, or laser tag you could handle.  We had a blast acting like teenagers again.  

I wowed in laser tag with a negative score.  I thought I was doing well.  Not so much.

3 rounds of bumper cars+Hunter+Chase+Mark=sore neck the next day.  Can I get an amen Macey?
Benton slept through most of the fun (thanks Granny and Diann for babysitting) but woke up to watch Mom smoke the batting cages.

Next came Christmas in Montana.  We drove the 24 hours in a Motor home.  Big thumbs up from Benton and I to the travel arrangement.  We were welcomed to Montana with snow and below freezing temps.

The handsome little man in his Christmas sweater.

Benton saw his first movie Yes Man.  Since he loves tv, he was fascinated with the big screen.

Thanks for the snowsuit Honey, we needed it!

Benton enjoyed feeding cows with Daddy and Great Grandpa.
It was a wonderful Christmas for all involved.
The greatest blessing we could ever imagine is our Benton Blayne!
Thanks Aunt E for my Batman suit!

Snow in Montana means everyone must play outside.  There was sledding, ice fishing, digging snow tunnels, and four wheeling races.  BRRRRR!  



We had a great time in Montana, and were happy to be home.  Here is Benton trying out his present to G-Daddy.  I think they will ride many miles together.

Unfortunately, I did not get out my camera for the Christmas with Honey and Poppa, Hunter's Birthday celebration, New Years, or many other family get togethers as of late.  We'll just sum by saying it was a great Holiday season.  I know 2009 will be a great one!
