Nate's Birthday Party - Tubing at Powder Ridge

We celebrated Nate's birthday at Powder Ridge in Kimball.  We spend the afternoon doing some snow tubing.  Gavin even liked it, but would only go down with Aimee.

McNeilly January Hotel Weekend - It's a Tradition

We headed to Bloomington for our annual McNeilly Hotel weekend.  We stayed at the Best Western by MOA and had a great time with family.

We headed to MOA to go on some rides.  Darren and Auntie Nikki on a scary rollercoaster.  It was so much fun.

 Kaitlyn's first time on the log ride.  Darren and Auntie Nikki got soaked.  Hailey and Kaitlyn only got a few drops.  

 Matching outfits!

Next Up for the New Year.... Snowmobiling

The weather stayed nice so we  decided to take the snowmobile's out for a quick ride.

Let's Go Skating Again

The kids had so much fun skating on New Years Day we had to go again the next day.  This time we found a frozen pond by our friends house in Mayer.

New Years Day

Another Year in the books.  Here's to a great 2016.  Spend the day enjoying the nice winter weather at the Eggiman's.  We played some hockey.  Gavin tried skating for the first time.  He did pretty good.

It was a beautiful first day of 2016.  The sun was shining and the weather wasn't too cold.

Head Lice

Our experienced our first case of Head Lice!  I had noticed during Christmas break that Kaitlyn had been itching her head quite often.  We than rec'd a text from our best friends that both their daughters had head lice.  So I checked and sure enough Kaitlyn had head lice.  It was complete chaos as we started researching and figuring out the process to eliminate this nuisance.  I stripped all the beds and started doing laundry.  I bagged up all the stuff animals anything else we wouldn't need for the next several weeks.  We vacuumed the beds, couches, flooring, and cars.  We even took a few loads of laundry to the laundromat.

 The huge piles of clothing/bedding to wash!

 The pile continued out past the laundry room into the hallway.

Our best friends daughter's had head lice too so we ended up face time and play games while we were stuck at home treating head lice!

We have learned several lessons during our first experience of head lice!  First time was slightly over kill!

Christmas Day

 Gavin isn't really liking our matching jammies!
