christmas

well, i forgot to let you know about christmas and new years of twenty ten. christmas is always busy. we spent christmas eve in hawley. we had a nummy supper of mashed potatoes and meatballs. we were accompanied by bopa, nana, charlie, nanny, evan. emma, india, jude, auntie linda, uncle leroy, vince, auntie bonnie. it was soooo much fun. we slept over and you got to sleep in nana and bopas room. when we woke up in the morning, we ate breakfast and opened some santa presents. you got a cool little tractor and then a couple books, runaway bunny and the lonely chameleon. then we drove to wishek to see your other grandparents. we had fun relaxing there, you were pretty obsessed with wanting to ride the tractor. until you found your christmas present, your own tractor. you get to ride on it when you are at tbeir house. the dunns joined us there. we had lots of fun. then the day after christmas we headed back to hawley. zac and holly had arrived along with auntie vicki and uncle greg fromarizona. we spent the night again and we all had fun playing and hanging out. lovely christmas. then the storm set in. for new years eve and day weekend, we were blizzarded in to our house. lots of snow and wind. there was a car accident in west fargo that resulted in an over one hundred car pile up. absolutely insane. but on the upside,the three of us got to hang out together for four days straight. it was lovely. happy new years babe.

oh i forgot to tell you. on new years eve, we always get you up to watch the ball drop and we take a family picture. the beauty of this one was that you look so utterly bored and irritated. jilarious. when we were finished, we said, should we take you back to bed? and you said yep.
