Holiday Wrap Up

Well, we have survived the holidays.  And, we are really looking forward to things going back to normal.  We had a lot of house guests over the past several weeks, not that we didn't love having them, but it was a lot of work!  

Jeff and I made a rule before we ever had kids that when we did have kids that Christmas morning would just be us...no other relatives, just us.  My family did that, and it was always special to me to just spend time with my parents and enjoy each other.  So, no one arrived until Christmas afternoon.

Here's the tree Christmas morning before Miss Madison got up.

Here is Madison opening gifts.

Here she is chillin' in her new chair with her football!!

This is a pic of the 3 of us.  I was trying to show our matching pj's!

Here's the back of Madison's.  They had a drop seat with her name embroidered on them!  They were sooo cute!!

My parents arrived around 12:30, and Jeff's mom got here around 4:30 or so.  Here are my parents playing with Madison and all her presents.

My parents stayed until Saturday.  My dad actually switched out the light fixtures in all 3 bathrooms.  I absolutely hated them.  I hated them when we bought the house, and I knew we would change them fairly quickly.  When they were here for Madison's birthday, my dad changed out the breakfast nook and the dining room light fixtures.  So, now every light, except the recessed lights, have been changed!  They look so much better, and it just classes up this house a ton.  I'm very thankful for my dad!!

My parents anniversary is the day after Christmas.  I think it was noon before it hit my mom that it was their anniversary!!  They've been married for 33 years!  Here's Dad rubbing lotion on my mom's feet.  It was a rare sight!!

We didn't do a whole lot over the weekend.  Like I said, Mom and Dad left Saturday afternoon, and Jeff's mom left Sunday afternoon. We both just crashed after that.  Today we ran errands and just messed around the house.  Jeff is going back to work tomorrow.  He will be off again on Thursday.  I'm sure we won't do much on New Year's Eve but lay around.  And, that's okay with me!!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and everyone has a spectacular New Year's!
