Christmas/New Years

So..I am so behind as usual! Here is a recap of our Christmas, New Years and everything in between and after.

The kids had alot of fun parties, programs etc that all go along with this time of year. I think you need a 2 week break after all that comes before Christmas. We are running crazy that week before break. Here are a few pics of Scotty's Christmas program and Abbey's party at school.

Also, Abbey had to second Christmas Piano recital.. They do it at a nursing home every year. The old folks loved it and Abbey did great. She even had one lady up dancing to her music. She played "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "When Santa Claus gets your letter." Here she is playing and with a few friends who came to support her.

Her Friends and her Teacher



Meanwhile, Spencer is just hangin' at home with me, being cute..Here he is in the dryer..he loves getting in and out. Funny kid..





We did had a great break and got to do alot of fun things with the kids. The weather has been unusually nice and warm so we could actually go to the park etc.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were a little interesting to say the least. Steve was passing a kidney stone AND had the stomach flu and my sister went into labor on Christmas day, so that meant 4 extra kids for the day and night..which was fun for our kids to play etc. I, however was stressin' a bit. It all worked out though and the end product was two exhausted mom's (Cindy and me) and a beautiful neice for Christmas named Elizabeth Grace Fish! Here she is.. it was all worth it when you see her sweet face..

Here's some of the kids Christmas morning..









New Years was a blast for us this year..we usually are in bed by 10 but decided to help throw a big bash at our friends house (The Copelands) We had a white elephant exchange, some games, dancing and of course FOOD, FUN, and Rockband. It was fun to bring in 2009 with a bang..here are some pics from that..





A Little Rock Band!



Last all folks..Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!! Hope it was a good one for you.
