New Years Eve (aka Christmas Round 3)... Family Fun

 January has been busy and fun with lots of good times with family!  Our Christmas Day was pretty quiet, but after Christmas we had a visit from Aunt Terri and Uncle Denny.... during their visit, we celebrated Christmas (again) along with New Years Eve and played lots and lots of games!  We all got in on the fun of Jenga.  Addie even managed to get in on a few rounds.... at least long enough to set everyone up before she knocked the entire thing down!  :)  What are little sisters for?!

Drew and Denny setting it all up again after Hurricane Addie!


And Addie helping to build....


...which requires TONS of concentration!


In between Jenga games, Aunt Ursula was able to log Drew onto PLATO (a school math site) and, as you can see, he was ecstatic!!! So thrilled we had to pull him away from his school work to open presents!  Hmmmmm :)


More presents.... lucky kids!


I can do it ALL BY MYSELF!!!!


Giant Mickey and Minnie!!  Too cute!


Being "mommy"!  Adorable to watch her in action!


Putting the baby to sleep.....


 ...GO TO SLEEP!!!!  Poor baby getting knocked around a bit!


We also had a visit from Matt's sister and her kids!  It was SO nice to have so much family around.  The kids got along beautifully and had a great time together.  Only wish they lived closer!







Fun times!  Unfortunately, Drew and I both got hit hard with the sickness that is going around.  He was pretty "calm" with his cousins here, so that was a bit of a bummer.  Trying to get back in the swing of things... hopefully make it through the work/school day and really, really hoping it stops with us and Addie stays healthy (and Matt too of course)!!!!
