Congratulations on the New Home!

Just wanted to toast Gramma (again) on the upcoming purchase of her new condo. It is bright, cheery and in a great neighborhood. Hopefully all of the paperwork can come together and Gramma doesn't get cold feet. By the end of January, she should have a new address. She looked at it last week with Mary and liked it so Jim W., Marc, Mary, Connie, Tommy, Gramma and I went out yesterday and checked it out again. Gramma gave Tommy the thumbs up to make an offer and it was accepted. It is a little scary but I think it is going to be awesome!! Here are a couple of pictures. The first one is the front entrance; the second her kitchen; the third the kitchen eating area from the living room and the fourth her laundry room. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from all of the Buyskes gathered in Helena. We are missing the little ones and their families this year, but we are enjoying the comfortable quiet of Christmas morning. Hope everyone is having a very relaxing and enjoyable day, and we will see some of you tomorrow!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas from Texas

If you look close, there is a wreath on the Alamo. We took this a couple of weekends ago with thoughts of sending this out to all of your residences dancing in our head. It didn't happen. We hope you all are having a great Holiday Season and that we see you soon.

Happy Birthday!

Mikayla turns ten on Monday! We hope you have a great birthday.

Happy Anniversary!

Sunday marks Maurika and Mark's sixth anniversary. We hope they're whoopin' it up in Missoula to celebrate the occasion. They can be sort of like Devo (remember them) ... Whoop it, whoop it good!

Download Those Pics

Hey all-only Joey and Jen have posted photos to the Snapfish account Joey set up. I actually ordered some prints from Joey's Thanksgiving album and had them sent to Grandma. She was so thrilled to have actual photos. She said she now has some to take to her coffee group.
So let's get those pictures downloaded so we can all enjoy them and have the option of ordering prints for grandma.

Jerryworld

Sorry to post over John but I knew if I didn't do it now, I'd forget. Anyway, this weekend I was lucky enough to get to go to the new Cowboys Stadium (Jerryworld) and watch the Big 12 Championship Game between Texas and Nebraska. Then I got even luckier and a friend got us hooked up with luxury suite tickets. Free booze, food, and leather seats. It was absolutely amazing. The stadium is insane. It was a great game that ended on a field goal with no time left. It couldn't have been better.

The tags we had waiting on our seats.

The biggest, clearest TV I will ever see. That JumboTron was rediculous. It cost more than the Cowboys old stadium was to build.

We'll Be Checking It Twice ...
