Finally...

So I finally got the pictures downloaded on my computer and now have albums with pictures from Christmas to now.



We had a wonderful Christmas with Dad here. He came in on the Monday before Christmas and left the day after, it was a short visit but we enjoyed spending Christmas with him. Here are the pictures Dad took while he was here....

On Christmas Eve we spent the night at the Wiercks house and had our traditional prime rib and Yorkshire pudding dinner and than exchanged gifts, it was so nice to spend the night with people we love. Here are some pictures from that night....

We had a wonderful Christmas and I feel very blessed to have had the Christmas we had this year. It all started around 5am when I woke up to go the bathroom and found a 32" plasma tv on our dresser with a Grey's Anatomy poster taped to it. You see on Thursday nights Jim and I fight over who gets to watch their show, both Greys Anatomy and The Office come on at 8pm. So I woke up Jim and thanked him and than he gave me a card to open. When I opened the card there was cash in it with a note that basically said "Thank you for all you do, this money is for you to spend on you and nobody else"....I cried. :) After that we got up and made coffee and waited for the kids to wake up, only they didn't wake up so around 6:30 Jim and I were too excited and couldn't take the waiting anymore and woke up Ashlynn, Izzy, Ayden, Dad and Grandma Mary. We opened gifts and than played the wii the girls got from Santa and had a really nice morning. That afternoon we headed off to Aunt Barb and Uncle Keith's house for dinner and to spend time with the family. Here are the pictures from the day

New Years we spent with Tim and Kecia and their family and friends. Unfortunately I forgot my camera and don't have any pictures from the night. :( It was a fun night and I won The Price is Right on the wii 2 times....too bad it wasn't for real prizes :)

The first of January we took Izzy and Ayden to the Wildlife World Zoo out in Litchfield park as a special treat for them and I had a coupon that expired that day. We fed the giraffes, went on a sky ride, fed the parrots, touched sting rays and star fish and tried to keep Izzy from seeing a monkey doing something no kids or adults for that matter should see. Only wish Ashlynn was with us...she was at her dad's. :( But we will be taking her there soon to keep things fair. :) Here are the pictures from the day
