This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Happy New Year


Happy New Year Family:
The Givan household had a great Christmas.  Kate was home for the first time in 4 years for the holidays.  We enjoyed doing Streets of Bethlehem together.  Uncle Tim actually made a rather scary Roman soldier.  I was a guide and Kate and Benny ushered.  We are all looking forward to doing it again next year.  Chris arrived home on December 18 and we have been doing many family things.  Granmom joined us for a week around Christmas Day. It was good to spend some time with her also.  Christmas dinner was held at Kate’s new place with Grandma and Grandpa joining us.  It was a very nice time.  Our New Year’s Eve was really rockin.  We watched Disney movies, tasted strawberry daiquiris from Dillons, ate cheese balls and bean dip and toasted the New Year in with sparkling cider.  Since the New Year we have been taking down decorations, cleaning and organizing.  Now for some Christmas items.  First off the Shooks are the winners of guess the Givan CD.  Word on the street is that it was actually “tolerable” this year.  Never fear we are already planning the 2013 CD!
