Fidlin Family Christmas



We celebrated Christmas with Steve's family on the 25th. Steve has four brothers, with Steve being the oldest. Next in line is Brian, then Jason and last is Kevin. Brian and Jason are both married to "Kimberlys". Brian's Kimberly is Kimberly Manthey, as she kept her maiden name and Jason's Kimberly is a Fidlin like the rest of us crazies...ha-ha! Brian and Kimberly have two kids, Macnessa, who is 5 and Fergus, who turns 3 on New Year's Eve. Jason and Kimberly have one daughter, named Eva who is in junior high. She is becoming such a sweet young lady! It's been really neat seeing her "grow up"!

We had a fun day with Steve's family. Diane made a great meal, as always and then we enjoyed opening presents and spending time together. This year's highlight was a "hot sauce eating contest" between the brothers. Brian and Kimberly brought some hot sauces of varying "hotness" and the boys ate it off of spoons to see who had a "stomach of steel". Kimberly Manthey and I joined right in, but we were wimps...we tried ours on tortilla chips. With a family of four boys, Steve's family holidays are always full of "interesting" entertainment....but it's always a blast! I feel blessed to be a part of the family!!

Before the end of the day, bets were placed on who (of the boys) could lose the most weight by June 25th. Steve is determined to be the winner, but is not planning to start "taking the weight off" until six weeks prior to June 25th. YIKES!!
