We spent New Years in Door County with Nana and Papa, Aunt Katie and Uncle Mike, and Eli and Ephraim. Jackson said today on the long ride home that his favorite part was playing with Eli in the basement. They played Legos, chased monsters, watched movies, and even cuddled up in one bed together to sleep one night(so cute!). They had so much fun playing together, and despite some tattle-taling and a few meltdowns, the 5 days were near perfect. We ate, we rested, we played, we sled, and then we ate some more. Abby's new favorite word is cookie, after eating more than her share of Nana's Christmas cookies. She even named her new doll, "Cookie".
We rang in the new year with family friends and had an early celebration with the kids at about 9:30. I've never seen noise makers get such good use! After ringing in the new year a little early, the kids were sent off to bed so we could all party, uh, I mean fall asleep on the couch before midnight!
Jackson sporting his new train necklace, that he made all by himself.
Abby showing off her new tutu that Auntie Katie made. She loves it. When we took it off of her, she screamed and screamed.
Good-Bye 2009!
