I hope that all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to spend time with both the Hanson’s and the Eigner’s during the weekend. We spent Thanksgiving with the Hanson’s at Erika’s Aunt Janie and Uncle Gary’s. This marked the first family function for Briley, the newest member of the clan. The kids all took turns holding baby Briley, with Ellie taking far and away the most turns! We then spent Sunday celebrating Gramma Mary’s 64th b-day with the Eigner clan at BUCA. Imagine a peaceful dinner with 9 kids under 10!
Erika and I also had attended two celebrations of life on Friday and Saturday. Donna Bzdok and Ella Hauschildt fought cancer with every ounce of energy and strength they had. Both of them have inspired many with their courage. Donna, a 44 year old wife and mother of two will be deeply missed by everyone in Brainerd. Ella who was 7, loved school and music and definately left her mark on many in her short time with us. Both the Bzdok’s and the Hauschildt’s are models of faith, strength and family. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they deal with their terrible loss.
Finally, for the first time in 9 years the Eigner’s will be cheering for a hockey team not named the Warriors. We(The Eden Prairie Eagle’s) have our first game tonight and it has been very difficult trying get all three kids in jackets and hats that don’t say Warrior Hockey. We will keep you posted.
Enjoy the Winter,
Ty
Dear Eigners,
Happy to hear about the great gathering you had for Thanksgiving, but so sad about the losses of friends you suffered too…many prayers for those dear families…sure takes the wind out of our sails when we lose precious friends….
May you all stay healthy and warm, and find some new hockey clothes for those adorable children! 🙂
Prayers always for Peter!
Hey hope all is well! Just wanted to drop by and say hello. Hopefully you can get the kids in that EP gear!! Merry Christmas!!
So glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, celebrating little Briley’s being in the family. Take good care!
Thanks for your update on your activities — you are a beautiful family and an inspiration. Hooray for the new hockey team! Merry Christmas to you all. Ken Schroeder
….just stopping by to say hello!! Best wishes to all of you.
Always good to hear the hustle and bustle of your active family. It was so good to see you in October for Briley’s shower. So sorry to hear about your friends loss, and excited about Peter’s good health. It is so hard to deal with opposite sides of the emotional spectrum at the same time, but one tends to ease the pain of the other, just a bit. Keep the news coming.
Happy Holidays Eigners! I was just thinking of you all and wanted to drop a note. We are happy to hear that you are settling in nicely in Eden Prairie. We are doing well in Tennessee but miss Eden Prairie and its youth hockey program. Abby continues to play here with the Jr. Riverking program, but its definitely not the same. We are so happy to hear that Peter continues to do well and please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this holiday season.
With Love and Hope,
The Conrads
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EIGNERS!
