Hello All! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanakkuh , and a Happy New Year! I have not posted since before Christmas so alot has happened.
Brody and Ethan had a good Christmas. We decided to go to my parents house on Christmas morning to have our traditional christmas breakfast with mimosas! It was very yummy. If there is one tradition that I never want to go away it is christmas breakfast. My mom makes a yummy sausage and egg caserole and hash brown casserole. As always, it was yummy! Brody went down for a nap and then Ted went to get Ethan from his grandmother's house. Once they got back, Ethan opened his presents. He got some pretty cool stuff, including this huge nerf machine gun. It shoots like 100 darts one right after the other. He had a good time playing with that with my neighbor's kids over the weekend. He also got this robotic dinosaur, which does things on command. When we got home that night, he was playing with it around Chloe, who absolutely hated it. She was barking like crazy and was even showing her teeth. The dinosaur is about 2 feet tall, if that, you wouldn't have thought it would have frightened her. But she is such a wuss when it comes to smaller animals....or things that look and act like animals.
Brody had a pretty good christmas too. He got many toys, which is now overpowering my living room. I even left some at my parents house and we haven't even put together the big toy that Ted and I got him. We have decided that we are going to make our dining room his play room. We don't have a dining room table in there now and figured that we really would never use it so we thought that space would be a good place for Brody's playroom. I talked to Ted about putting a TV in there somehow, because he of course loves him some TV! He took his first steps, with the walker, over Christmas too. He walked to Ethan with it, but hasn't done it since. Of course, when I try and get him to walk to me with the walker, he just gets down and crawls to me instead. He figures he can get there faster that way. He is also talking more. He of course says Da-da all the time (no Ma-ma yet! UGH) but has started saying "doy, doy, doy" and he says something resembling "hello!" It is so cute.
We went to my neighbor's house for Christmas Eve which was fun....and then went to my other neighbor's house for New Years Eve. My parents watched Brody New Year's Eve, which was a good thing because I was pretty intoxicated by the time that midnight rolled around. I went with a few of my co-workers for a drink after work (which was pretty hectic this past week) and then just continued drinking when I got home. Needless to say, Ted and I didn't wake up until 10:00 on New Year's Day! It was nice to actually sleep in, but of course it didn't feel like sleeping in since we didn't get to bed until real late!
I am working from home this morning, but Ted is on his way home and I have to go into the office today. Too much to do.....so little time. We are so swamped at work right now it is ridiculous. And there doesn't look like there is an end in sight!! I guess I can't complain because it does give me some job security! Especially since we just lost a really big contract in New Mexico. Since my department is in charge of obtaining new business, hopefully if they do cuts, we will be the last in line! At least that is what I am hoping! :) But can't really worry about that!
Well...I hope everyone had a nice holiday and has a great 2009! 2008 was pretty good (since Brody was born) so I am not sure if 2009 can top it! :) But.....hopefully it will be a good one!
I will try and post a few pictures from the past couple of weeks later. My computer is acting up right now so I can't access my pictures!!
