Lesson Time!!

Well tonight we were home alone with just Maia. So, Maia decided to cash in on two of her Christmas presents...guitar lessons from dad and cooking lessons from mom!! What fun we had. It was really touching for me to watch Ryan sit patiently and teach Maia how to hold her guitar, count beats, and strum out her first chords!! :) After her lesson Maia bounced over to me and thought it would be great to cook her daddy and I dinner...so, lesson number two! After looking at all the ingredients in the fridge we decided on omelets. Daddy got the special one...buffalo chicken and cheese omelet!

WHOOSH...and that was Christmas break!!

Christmas break started at the Reissner household on December 23rd and finishes tonight...none too early!! We all had SO much fun and saw SO many of the people we loved!! We spent Christmas at Ryan's mom and dads. Christmas Eve service at our home church was so beautiful! On Christmas afternoon we were all SO excited to get together with our small group for our traditional time of game playing and food grazing! :) The day after Christmas we returned to Camp for the beginning of Wintertainmet, which is our five day winter camp for senior high students. It is without a doubt our most high energy week of the year!! There was plenty of skiing, snowboarding, and lots of great connection time with the youth. To top it all off we had some of our favorite people staying with us for the week....Ben, Jess, Eric, Beaner, and Sarah. Plenty of wackiness in the Reissner apartment!! :) Last, but certainly not least, we celebrated Maia's 9th Birthday with an afternoon of tubing and skating with five of her friends!!
