Wow...I can't believe Christmas has come and gone and 2011 is already here. Eastons first Christmas was great..he got lots of very cute clothes and toys. Every one loved being able to hold him and play with him.
We ended up going up to Denison for Jesse's families Christmas the weekend of Christmas. We had a great couple of days enjoying lots of food and goodies and seeing family. On Christmas eve we had Christmas with Tom and Marla and Jesses's brother..then went over to Jesse's moms house and then Christmas eve evening we enjoyed time together at Jesse's grandparents house. It was a very busy day and Easton was exhausted but thankfully had a good night and wasn't too fussy. Christmas day we had Jesse's step dads extended Christmas. A couple of us decided to wear our ugly sweaters to Christmas...hopefully it will become a tradition..it was a lot of fun. We had a great dinner, played games and had our gift exchange. I wasn't feeling well so we ended up leaving early and missed the alcohol exchange..lol..one thing that i've never heard of.... What an exhausting weekend. Thankfully Eastons schedule didn't get too messed up and he did very well with all the activities we had.
My sister and I decided to leave on Monday the 26th for SD to enjoy some extra days with our family. My nieces had yet to see the two babies so they were super excited about us coming. The first couple of days were great.. our nieces were like little mothers...always wanting to hold them, feed them and even change their little diapers...that was fine with me...lol...who likes changing diapers...Good thing we had lots of help...I ended up getting the stomach flu really bad so i was basically out of commission for 24 hours. Ben and Jesse were planning on coming Thursday morning but we strongly suggested them to come Wednesday night after Jesse got off work because SD was expecting a huge blizzard..thankfully they took our advice and drove the night to SD..they ended up driving in fog the whole way home but thats better than blowing snow. They arrived safe and sound around 11pm. Thursday morning we woke up to blizzard like conditions. The state ended up closing the interstates and we ended up being snowed in till Saturday when my dad got the tractor out and plowed us out. Being snowed in with two babies...two toddlers and all of us definitely was fun. Thankfully Ben brought his wii and we had fun playing that all day long.
Sunday we had my dads extended families Christmas. Jesse had never met anyone on that side of the family so he was overloaded with new peoples names and faces. It ended up a good time.
Jesse and I ended up leaving back for home Monday morning....I was ready to get back home and back into routine of things. Eastons schedule wasn't too messed up from being gone at least.
