Holiday Updates

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Better late than never I suppose.

Christmas was nice. We went to my parents for Christmas Eve for Mass and dinner. We did a name exchange this year which helped cut down on buying so many Christmas gifts. It was nice for a change, I didn't feel over whelmed or like gifts were dragging on for hours. I wished we had a video recorder because Landen definitely had a $10,000 winning America's Funniest Home Video. I told my mom it would be nice for Landen and Amelia to have Mary and Jesus dolls. Landen opens his, hits is forehead with his hand and is like "Oh man" and just threw the doll down. As soon as he was told it was Jesus he wipes his forehead with a quick "phew". It was absolutely hilarious - he doesn't really care for the doll like Amelia does and was on to his other gifts, but it was a high light. Amelia got the Mary Doll I looked for and couldn't find (thank you mom) and literally carries it all over the house - she loves it!

Christmas Day we headed to Kurt's parents and then too his grandpa's house to see everyone else. It was a long day and with not feeling well and staying up too late and rushing the day before I wasn't doing all that well. We did get the beautiful towel cabinet his grandpa made that Kurt designed, I love it!

My mom turned 50 the 28th and since she's not much into big parties or anything all her kids and of course my dad decided to remodel her entire kitchen. The cabinets were completely redone, new counter top, etc. My sisters fiance Jake is amazing at that sort of stuff and with my brother, dad and Kurts skills they did some amazing things. Along with my sisters, who did so much I can't even believe it. I can't wait to see the finished project, unfortunately I couldn't do much because of the fumes and dust with being pregnant. My sis Savannah is supposed to be making a pretty good slide show of the process.

New Years was fun and doesn't seem as fun as it does when your younger. We stayed out too late and I literally suffered for two days after.

That's the high lights - that I can remember. Hope I didn't leave anything important out. If I ever download pictures I'll have to add them.
