Well, that was a whirl wind!
First stop, was way up North. Lots of family time, lots of craziness, lots of fun.
We have one happy Uncle and three silly kiddies... and one making a dash for it.
Two lucky little girls with new American Girl Dolls, Ruthie and Elizabeth. AND one silly Auntie.
We had one crazy messy fun Christmas morning. These kiddies must have been pretty darn good!
We also have 7 Grandkids with two happy Grands.
We had lots of cousin playtime with sledding and an afternoon spent at the bowling alley. Can I just mention that I rocked it hard core and beat everyone the second game... booo-ya!
Then we headed slightly South for some more family fun.
... where there were some feirce Hungry Hungry Hip Games to be had.
... and one little boy who was just a little bit excited. ... ok. so he was this excited with ALL of his toys. That kid is just too cute! He wanted to savor every little present he opened up and didn't really want to move on to the next.

We made it home just in time to celebrate the new year, a new decade, with friends. The kiddies stayed up ALL night and did GREAT!
And when I said ALL night. This was taken when we got back to our house after a fun night of celebrating... 1:06AM. My kiddies are the coolest.
Now...
Back to real life. With lots of new toys to play with and lots of snow to play in.
