McKenna Olympics

We have been having our own version of the Olympics in our home. Buckle your seat belts and Cameron will introduce you to the games...





Bobsledding


Cameron's first ride on a snowmobile left competitors eating his snow. All athletes must start young.


Hockey

Cam's goalie skills would simply astound the best of the best. Hockey in the McKenna household has proven to be the most hazardous sport in all the games. His blocked shots splatter the opposing team. Score 3-2, with Cameron dominating.



Nordic Combined



Mark and Angie have joined their legendary skills to make it through all 178 episodes of Star Trek on YouTube. So far, they are ahead of the competition and maintain a commanding lead.


Skeleton

Cameron successfully mastered the
proper chin tuck to roll consistently from his stomach to his back and last night rolled for the first time from his back to his tummy. Next on his Olympic journey is Short Track. Hopefully he'll wait until we get into our house to perfect this skill...

Holiday Joy

I have been trying to post about Christmas since...well...Christmas! Here it is, Christmas in pictures!

Christmas Evening--all the grandkids performed!







Caroling with the Zurcher side



We went to Mark's parents Christmas Eve, but this is the only picture we took.



Ahhh, the end! My mind can rest in peace now that this has finally posted!

Bad Economy

A glimpse inside




Mark in all his electrical glory







Someone stole my dad's compressor and table saw out of our house over the weekend. Maybe they were trying to do their part to stimulate the economy by making us buy new supplies (a purpose greatly defeated when we called in the tax paid police), or they were really down on their luck. Either way, it left us feeling a little disheartened about the state of humanity.

Never fear, we will be going on vacation this weekend where we will no doubt regain our faith and maybe even ditch the winter slump.
