Well, we made it through Christmas with me practically one-handed! I had my surgery on the 15th, a followup last week and on Wednesday, I get my stitches out! So ready to have my hand back!
Christmas was great!! The kids really made out and they all seemed so happy with everything they got, especially Abby - she's at that fun age :) David has begged us for a good year for an itouch (thanks to Haley! ha!) and so,we decided to surprise him with one - bad idea. He got it taken away Christmas night! Ughh. Not sure what we're going to do about it, but I have to admit, I wouldn't mind having it for myself! Aside from that, he had a good Christmas too .. as for Molly, I don't think she cared one way or the other about all of the excitement and presents - although she did love her little 4 wheeler that Nana and Granddaddy gave her! Spending time with our family and friends is what's most important to us and we were definitely able to do a lot of that this past weekend. We're so grateful for all of the people that are a party of our lives ..
Hard to believe a new year is less then a week away!! We've been working on our resolutions and if things go as planned, a few of them will be fulfilled within a couple of months! Really, we just want to have a year filled with lots of love, lots of laughs, and lots of memories .. Jamie and I have reflected on this past year and while there are a lot of things we could have done without, we really have been blessed and are using our experiences (both good and bad) to learn and grow from. We're looking forward to 2011 - we have a lot going on and there's just something about a "new beginning" .. we originally planned to ring in the new year at Universal (we got passes for Christmas!!!!) but have decided to stay in and have a game night with the kids instead .. should be a fun night, we're all looking forward to it!
Other then that, it's been business as usual. The kids are out of school until January 10th and I think I'm going to take them either to Sandy's or Savannah for a few days (after the new year) - Abby's been asking if we could go on another vacation so this will really make her happy :) January is already turning into a busy month: basketball starts, David is turning 10!!!, Jamie's mom is coming to visit, and I'm helping host a baby shower for my cousin, Kara. I'm also hoping to start school this semester so add that to the list ..
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! to everyone!!!
