2009 BABY!

Hello fellow blogees! It has been such a busy holiday season...I have no clue how people get on here and have everything so up to date. Not me my friends. I take my sweet time. So savor and enjoy what your about to read! Haha anyway. Christmas was very eventful. My whole fam dam came down and stayed at my mom and pop's house. This should have been and I repeat SHOULD have been awesome except for the fact that EVERYONE had the stomach flu! First my niece got it, then my sister in law and from then on people were dropping like flies. So Aaron and I being the logical beings and germ freaks we are, got out of there stat! We woke up the next morning and opened our presents with Jack. He is getting so fun and so big! He was actually pretty into his presents, so I got rid of all the boxes and string I saved for him just in case. He was screaming and crawling everywhere...basically losing all control! haha no not really, but he was crawling from toy toy playing with everything. Later in the day we headed over to the morgue aka my parents house and got in and out of there, seeing as we wanted no part in the stomach flu epidemic. We then ventured over to Aaron's aunt Cindy's with all of his mom's family! They always make thee best food! Not to mention it is always good company. While we were there I felt a rumble in my tummy and asked Aaron to head home. I spent a wonderful Christmas night puking my brains out! It was FANTASTIC! It gave me a great jump start to shedding those Christmas pounds. Later in the week (quick transition I know, but who really wants to hear about my throw up situation?) Aaron's fam came down! It was alot of fun to get to see them and spend time with them. We had a small Christmas after-party at Analee's with presents and food to boot! Then new years eve rolled around and with everyone feeling better we had to PARTY(it's really fun putting things in all caps, try it)!First we went out to breakfast, it was Delicious. Then we tried our hats at bowling. It was awesome. I took bowling in high school and have loved it ever since. You better believe I won one game and the other game I beat Aaron by a point...he was devastated! We did our resolution exchange which is exactly like doing a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up having to make the best grilled cheese sandwich by the end of the year, Aaron ended up with being on time to church every week, which is kind of lame because he is! Anyway I'll let you know how the sandwich thing goes. We set up the movie outside with a big screen and surround sound and watched Transformers, those of us with babies stayed inside and watched Ghost Town, it was really funny. We had my moms famous Chocolate cake which is an absolute dream and waited for midnight! I rang in the new year with a smooch from my sweet cheeks aka my man and drank some martinellis with the rest of the clan! We have had such an amazing year. 2008 will definitely be hard to beat. But bet your bottom dollar we are sure going to try for an amazing 2009! We love all of you and our thankful for all of our friends and family. You are all such a blessing in our lives and we aspire to be like most of you haha no, but seriously. We love you all happy 2009!
