New Years Day

Finally time to celebrate Christmas! My parents came down and brought my Grandma with. Brandi and Jayden came too, we had a pizza party and opened presents.

What is Bailey doing in the background? LOL!

That morning we woke up and went down stairs. I open the fridge to get some water and apparently did not shut the door tight. Chris and I find Summer in the kitchen with a huge slice a pizza and she was going to town trying her best to eat this mammoth size peice of pizza. It was too funny.

"MMM this is good pizza"

Where have I been?

Busy, busy, busy! My sister Jac and my nephew Tyler have moved in and we are happy to have them. She came from AZ and with our 28 inches of snow on the ground I think she is in a state of shock, poor girl!

Since old man winter gave us a doosey of a storm over Christmas, for the first time we were not able to spend Christmas eve at mom and dad's. So my sister Brandi and Jayden came over. We ate chili and let the kids open their gifts.

Summer absolutely loved tearing open her gifts and other people as well! Did I mention she likes to be diaperless too?

Awe, smart idea dad, giving your 1 year old markers. Her and Jayden are having a blast with them!

Oh, there they go...in the mouth, and who's not looking? Guess I dropped the ball there! But wait, who is taking that picture?! Cough! (Her dad) LOL

Thank God they are non toxic. My poor baby!

Christmas party!

This last weekend Chris and I attended his company Christmas party. It was so much fun, although these parties are from 5 pm tp 11 pm. Seems a bit much, but you have to stick around in case they draw your name for a big prize every hour! The party was at Kahills in The Marinna Inn, which is very nice. Since Chris works for Beef Products Inc, we had to have their beef, which Chris said was more likely better quality, so we enjoyed prime rib. There was a cute photo booth that you could get a cute holiday card with four pictures of you and your better half for free. I don't think the line ever ended though. There was a DJ and a dance floor.

Chris recieved his 5 year service award, which was a sterio that has an Ipod dock,very cool. His name was also drawn and he won a 10.1 mega pixel digital camera from Sony. We already have an awesome digital camera thanks to Bob, my father in law, so we are going to return it and get Chris some warm coveralls that he will need for all the snow that is to hit the Midwest.

My parents watched Summer, my nephews, Tyler and Jayden were here, and it sounds like Jayden and Summer played all night! I had arranged for my dad to come pick me up at 7:30 so I could get Summer to bed, since I'm the only lucky one to be able to. But i was tired and Summer was definetly ready for bed once she saw me, ew, and Crab-by! Of course she missed her second nap that day. But all in all we had a lot of fun and it was a great day! I was so nervous about how Summer was going to do, I forgot to take pictures. :{

Oh Christmas Tree!

Happy December everyone! It really does seem like a magical time, doesn't it? Yesterday we went and picked out our Christmas tree, and I have to say we picked a great one this year. I don't even think it is going to fall over on us! We bought blue and silver bulbs and clear lights, not too mention 4000 strands of tinsel. We were going for ghetto fabulous, but after Chris put on only 2000 strands it wasn't looking very fabulous at all, so we took it all off.

Summer thinks everything is a ball on the tree, which kinda cute, she hasn't messed with it too much. Just carries them around and says, "ball?"

Summer and her fresh picked "ball."

Trying to put it back.
