Happy 2009!

Our Chirstmas this year was spent in Negaunee with the Korby and Steward clan. It was a busy and crazy week... but we survived. We ended up in Urgent Care on Christmas Eve with Payton who is still taking antibiotics for a double ear infection. I will have to upload photos at some point, but Payton got her coveted Baby Alive Goes Potty from Santa (which my neice decided to feed macaroni and cheese and salami because the doll kept saying "feed me! I'm hungry!"... Thank goodness Payton noticed it that evening. After a couple of bottles of water and "surgery" with some tweezers and some time on her potty, Baby Alive was as good as new!), she also got all her Barbie TheDiamond Castle dolls and a ton of other gifts! Addie's favorities are a new doll stroller from my mom, a little doll with a crib and clothes from Grammy Betty, and her aquadoodle from Santa. I will say that Santa was VERY smart in getting extra "pens" for that aquadoodle. There would be a war in our house if he didn't!

On the way back from Negaunee we stopped at Amy and Mark's in Duluth to see their new home (gorgeous!) and had dinner and more gifts as the girls played with their kids. Payton didn't want to leave. We left at bedtime and the girls slept the whole 3 1/2 hours home. We love it!

We spent New Year's evening at Sheila and Jamie's eating, drinking and being merry! We were home by 9pm to put the girls to bed (again, they fell asleep in the car and went right to bed when we got home) and we watched Mamma Mia! (one of my Christmas gifts) once home... I just love that movie! It is so fun! Today we took all the Christmas decorations down and are finally getting back to normal around here. Other than the fact that Brian had the day off from work!

So that is our last few weeks... Photos coming soon! Happy New Year everyone!
