Holiday Highlights 2009

Our Christmas was AWESOME!! We had such a good holiday season. We were given the 12 days of Christmas by some amazing friends and it just started our Christmas off right. Our kids recieved so many fun and wonderful things this year. The highlight being the American Girl dolls that Santa brought them. I knew that they had requested this item and so I sewed matching pj's for the girls and their dolls. Aidan got a big Tonka truck and thought it was a great "ride".

After Christmas we went over to my grandparents and the kids went sledding and were also pulled around on a sled behind my Grandpa's Polaris Ranger in his open fields. It was so much fun for them.

Mike and I went to his sister Katie's house for a New Year's Eve party and my sister Emily (or Mi-Mi as Aidan calls her) babysat our kids. She let them dress up in her old prom dresses and even Aidan participated...Much to his father's dismay. **Thanks Mi-Mi for being the bestest auntie EVER!!!!

( The random doll bunkbed picture is because this is what we got the girls at Ikea for their dolls. I just thought it was a fun picture...)
We hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday like we did and we wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So I haven't checked blogs in forever. Loved the Christmas card. Even though I read your blog it's good to get the summary of the year. Looks like you guys had a good Christmas. Those are some lucky girls to get American dolls. I have hopes in visiting the store in New York to see the whole American Girl collection but we'll see. Glad you are doing well and made I'll try to call you again. You are always gone though. So busy. Take care:)

Karissa's present from Santa was an American Girl doll this year too. Well, technically it was the $30 knock-off that they sell at Target, but so far no one has been able to tell the difference. (Whew!)
