Holidays 2009 Recap

Highlights:

Nutcracker with the girls...Sarah being thrilled to go just with the girls...no boys allowed. She wore her tutu and talked the entire time. It was seriously a play by play of the entire ballet. She knew the music when the mice were coming, she knew when the Plum Fairies were coming, she knew it all and hasn't stopped talking about it since.
Skiing
Sledding
lots of eating out
6th anniversary...overnight at the Marriott, temple, dinner
shopping
fun times with sisters...taking Mom shopping.
haircuts
visiting with cousins
Natalie takes the kids' pictures
promising not to do projects, but not being able to stop myself (jane's LR, mom's skirt, Sarah's tutu, Sarah's queen dress, Peter Pan vest)
cortisone shot under ultrasound..worked like a charm
New Year's Eve....sparklers on the front porch

Sick Kids

There's no better way to relax after the holidays than by being sick. It started with the kids, then went to me, then to Steve, and back to Grant, and finally to Sarah. The kids just watched all their favorite movies and cuddled with their blankies. It's so sad to see them sick, but on the other hand it's nice to have them mellow for a bit.
