Christmas 2010



This month has been a world wind!  It feels like it just got started, and now it is just winding up!  The craziness started mid month with all the Christmas parties and shopping.  Jon (aka. Beans), came up on the 12th.  Our big plan was to run a bunch and do a lot of hot yoga as well.  I have never tried it before and have always wanted to.  Beans is always game for anything athletic too, so we decided his Christmas break was the perfect time to do it.  We survived the first class, and went a day later for the second. It was great! Lots of sweat!  We did some running too.  Then Beans decided to get tackled in football and sprain his ankle and that ruined the rest of our fun.  At least we got a good week out of our holiday fitness extravaganza!  Reese  enjoyed spending time with her uncle and didn't mind that he had a bum ankle!  Auntie Joy came in the following weekend and we ventured out to Ozzie's for her 22nd birthday.  Gramma was kind enough to babysit and we went out for a night on the town.  Needless to say I took advantage of a baby free night and had a little to much fun!  At least I was still smart enough to remedy myself with toast and Advil and woke up feeling great!  The rest of the week flew by in a flash between wrapping presents, dinners and running last minute errands.  Christmas eve we trekked up to Normandy Park to have brunch with family, and then Christmas Eve night we went to church with my family and cooked a big, yummy, Italian dinner.  Reese was a champ all day, and didn't even make a peep during church!  She had fun opening up her Christmas Eve jammies following the tradition we have done since I can remember.  Christmas morning we did a brunch at my parents house, followed by dinner with my extended family.  It was such a busy day that we weren't able to get Reese to nap all day.  It didn't seem to bother her one bit, and she stayed in a fabulous mood all day despite the lack of sleep!  Sunday morning we made the journey over to Spokane for our second Christmas with his parents.  Reese had a ball opening presents with her Nana and Poppa.  She really struggled sleeping last night due to cutting a new tooth, being out of her crib and sharing a room with me.  She normally does not nurse at all during the night, but she couldn't resist the temptation with me in the room.  I tried to let her cry it out, but finally caved in so we could get some sleep.  Hopefully tonight will be better!  I put her in her own room, and am hoping that will solve the problem.  We will be here until Thursday!  I was also thrilled to hang out with my dear friend Angela and her beautiful new babies!  She had Connor and Jocelyn on the 15th and I finally got to get my hands on them!  I told Reese all about her new friends and she is so excited to get to play with them soon!  Here are some pictures of our Christmas week!
