Happy New Year...

Well, Christmas came with a bang and went out with a bang. Brian took two weeks off and just went back to work yesterday. I don't think either one of us were ready for him to go back. It was a very nice holiday break...filled with lots of family, good times, and..of course...presents. Who doesn't like presents?! I really can't remember a Christmas in which I got so many nice gifts. It was so exciting. Lots of fun gift cards which means lots of fun shopping. Whew Who!!!

The kids sure had a big time too. Will loves his family...particularly his cousins and enjoyed spending some extra time with them. For New Years, Brian's dad came up, I cooked a big dinner, and we were in bed by 10:00. How bad is that?! Like I always say, we may just be the oldest 30 somethings out there.
We are struggling this winter season with colds and illnesses already. It has been a bit of a rough start. I will be glad when me and the kids get back on track. All the sickness is keeping us indoors which gives all of us a raging case of cabin fever by the end of the week. Those gift cards may be gone sooner than I'd like simply for the fact..I need to get out. Funny--this is a picture of what I saw when I got home today from my dr.'s appointment...after having only been gone 2 hours. I had to give Will a quick pep talk about proper kleenex usage. He thought if you just touched your nose with it then it was dirty. Sorry trees.

I've got a few things on my New Year's resolution list but am not quite ready to say what they are yet. Fear of failure...maybe....or perhaps I need more time to add to my list. :) Either way, I will keep you posted.

For now, here are some pictures of the kids playing the other morning. They sure are cute together. Much love.
