Merry Christmas

Well, sadly, Christmas Break is coming to an end. Back to school, back to school...

We had a great Christmas. We headed up to Craig the Monday before Christmas. We spent a lot of time making (and eating) sugar cookies, building a puzzle, reading, playing guitar and relaxing.

A highlight of our trip was going to Steamboat where we watched the Olympic Trials. It was really fun to watch those amazing athletes. Then, we watched a free Big Head Todd and the Monsters concert in Gondola Square.

Watching the Olympic Trials. It was quite a hike up the ski hill to get here :)


Dinner in Steamboat


Christmas Eve included pizza and a car ride to look at all of the Christmas lights. The car ride was a little tight (6 people and 5 dogs) but totally worth while :) Then, we played Nertz and got some knitted socks from Deb.

Beautiful, comfy socks


Christmas was a great day. We had a great breakfast and opened presents. We spent the day relaxing and then had a wonderful prime rib dinner.

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas


It was also great to see Scott and Catherine who were in town from Texas, and Kristin who was in town from California. We had an Ugly Christmas sweater party, which was... well... ugly! We were also super excited when we learned that Scott and Catherine will have their first baby in July!

Well, that about sums up Christmas for the Bergmanns. We hope that you too had a wonderful holiday!

Welcome 2010!

Happy New Year

It is hard to believe that another year has already flown by. We rung in the new year by hanging out at the Benson's new house. We have spent the last few days helping them remodel their new home.

The list of improvements includes:
- painting: walls, floorboards, cabinets, etc
- scraping popcorn ceilings
- tearing down a wall
- inserting cabinets,
- tiling
- putting in laminate floors and carpet
- much more... phew that is a big remodel

It's sure to look great when it's all done. We're happy to be helping our new neighbors :)

Now you see it


Now you don't


With the beginning of the New Year, it's nice to look back and reflect about all of the blessings of the last one. Here are some highlights of our last year
