Christmas

I hope you all had a great Christmas, I know we did! It did come too fast and was over too fast. Nick and I went up to Hibbing to spend x-mas with my family. We got to hang out with Stef, Sam, Vicki and Blight (and Mable!) on Saturday and see old friends. I'm sad I forgot my camera but I took a mental photo! The rest of the time was spent with the family; going to church, eating, shopping for last minute gifts, opening presents and enjoying eachother's company. Auntie and Unc's house was crazy as usuall (12 people sleeping under one roof all weekend and other family coming over during the day). I'm surprised we all got some sleep, especially Nick and I (we were so lucky to share a room with mom who snores like Paul Bunyan chopping down trees).

Don't be mad G-Auntie, I didn't mean to spill the tags!

Good job cleaning Sis!

Christmas day we put on our skates and walked down to the ice rink. It's been a few years since I've had skates on and Nick said he couldn't skate but he got out there and never fell! He was the only one that didn't biff it (we don't have our figure skating skills like we used too!); however, he was only going .25 miles per/hour.

Ice capades here we come!

We are so talented

Merry Christmas!

This weekend off to the quad cities!

Presents

Merry Christmas to Nick and I!



Friday night Nick and I couldn't wait any longer to open our gifts (how old are we?) I finally jumped on the bandwagon and became an ipod owner and all the other fun accessories that you can have. I also got an updated Notre Dame sweatshirt. Nick is finally a proud owner of an ice house and some wool hunting clothes! He couldn't wait to set up his house so it was up in our apartment for a day. Gee, we got such great presents that I can't wait for our other

2 Christmas'.


Saturday night I got 2 free tickets from work to Christmas at the Cathedral. They even televise it during the "Letterman" slot on Christmas Eve (they're airing the 2004 show though). Anyways, it was awesome, I'm definitely in the Christmas mood now! My favorite part of it was when everyone lit their candle and sang Silent Night and then this awesome Opera singer

(Scott Piper) sang Ave Maria!

As usuall we had a great weekend!

Babysitting

Everyone survived! This weekend Nick and I went to the cities so mom and I could enjoy almost a full 24 hrs of Adelyn to ourselves! Shannon and Jon went out for Shannon's b-day and stayed at a hotel downtown. Since it was Adelyn's first sleepover they did a pretty good job of not calling every 20 min.! Mom and I met up with Stacy B. and Brielle and went shopping while Nick went with Jon S. to play in a poker tournament. We had plans to go to the Holidazzle parade but mom knows why we didn't make it there haha. After we were shopped out we took Adelyn back to the house so she could eat and go to bed. She slept good through the night and was ready to play at 8:00 am., good thing she takes a nap after breakfast!

Auntie wasn't feeding me fast enough


On Sunday mom's dream came true of finally getting professional photos done of the family. I think we would all vote that was a great time, except for our 3 hour decision making. All of our photos turned out great, so we couldn't decide which ones we wanted. Unfortunately Nick and I passed up some awesome photos of us haha, thanks Jon's big mouth!



2 weeks till Christmas and I got my 2 bottom teeth!

Happy Birthday Shan!

Happy Birthday to the best sister in the world!

Wish we could be there but we'll celebrate next weekend. Here's a pic from when you guys surprised me in Clear Lake for my birthday, love you!
