The Holidays

Christmas came and went, as did the end of 2011. I was really looking forward to Christmas Eve service and festivities with Nick's family, but things don't always go as planned. And we are learning this statement holds even more truth when you have kids...Grant came down with a nasty little virus Christmas Eve day. So we spent the Christmas Eve at home watching movies, taking a nap in front of the fire, and actually making an alright Christmas dinner (Store bought lobster bisque with beer battered shrimp). After a good night's rest Grant woke up feeling better and we had a relaxing Christmas morning.
Then we were off to Kearney to spend Christmas with my family. Grant had a blast with all his cousins while Hadley received an enormous amount of loving from them. Especially her baby loving cousin-Abby Jo. We had fun playing games and just hanging out with the crew all under one roof for a couple days.
As I mentioned in a previous post, all Grant wanted from Santa was a little flashlight...well he made out pretty well because he told a lot of people that's what he wanted. Santa brought him a Toy Story flashlight, then he also got two additional headlamps. Let's just say he was super excited about all three and they are still getting daily use. :) We had a pretty quiet New Year's Eve with some friends at our house and because I had to work the next day, Nick had another year of watching the ball drop by himself...maybe next year I will be awake :) The end of December also brought the start of cereal for Hadley. She's having no problem with it and excited to eat it!
