20 years of wedded Bliss

Happy New Year's Eve. We are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary today. Wow 20 years has gone be so fast.




I have to share a funny story. Yesterday while Hannah was playing in the bath tub she said "Mommy my boobies are so little" she then took her watering can and was pouring water on her chest. I asked what she was doing and she said "I am watering them so they will grow and I think I need some seeds". OK that is too funny. Why does my little girl want to grow up so fast?


We had kind of a second Christmas last night with Ron's sister and her husband. Hannah loved all her gifts.

This dog poor dog...I think he loves to see Hannah go home.

Relaxing Sunday

I had a very relaxing Sunday. My daughter kept herself busy playing in the fort we made and also the Christmas gifts are still keeping her entertained. My husband was gone all day working. So I was left alone to watch the Vikings beat the Giants in the final seconds and gain a spot in the playoffs. After that I watched the movie "The Duchess". It is based on a true story and what a sad story it was. Ron was able to come home for a short time had some dinner and then got called back to the hospital. I don't think we will see him the rest of the night. He is so looking forward to this next week off...it has been a long and busy 5 days on call. It will be strange having home the whole week...we had planned to go to Minneapolis for our 20th anniversary (New Year's Eve) but his mother is not doing well so we are sticking close to home.









Ron got me a new digital camera for Christmas so thought I would take some

goofy photos of Hannah. Look the Princess and the Pea

Merry Christmas

We had a pretty quiet Christmas but it was still nice. Ron was on call so kind of was doing double duty at the hospital and cooking at home. He is somewhat of a control freak in the kitchen so my role in making Christmas dinner is limited to peeling potatoes, preparing a salad of some sort, putting the relish tray together...pretty much anything that I can't screw up. I on the other hand do all the cleaning up. The meal was delicious and we had lots of leftover turkey to enjoy cold turkey sandwiches.

Hannah was up at her usual 6AM (I know some children get up extra early on Christmas morning but God Blessed me with a child that gets up extra early everyday). She was so excited to see the easel from Santa. The smile went from ear to ear...and of course when that happens her little almond eyes disappear. She played with it all morning. We didn't open gifts until after dinner. She loved them all. She got some great princess items from her Aunt Cindy...she wore the backpack all afternoon.
She loved her princess sleeping bag and yes she slept in it last night...and I'm sure it will be a while until we get that out of her bed.
Hannah and I both got Christmas socks...hers socks actually light up when she walks.

After we were done opening gifts Ron had to head to the hospital and Hannah and I headed to the sledding hill. We live in the flattest place on earth so the city actually built a sledding hill. It was very crowded and cold but the most fun we had all day. We have had so much snow lately but it has been so cold we couldn't enjoy playing outside. Christmas day it warmed up to almost 20 degrees but the wind was strong so it felt much colder...we both got wind burnt but it was so worth it. There is nothing like sledding with your 4 yr. old thrill seeker.
Blessings,
Bliss














Hannah drew this picture of her little sister Christmas Eve. She said "look mommy she has braids". She then said "I just want her to be here already"...ME TOO

Christmas Program 2008 With Video

Hannah finally had her Christmas program. It was postponed because of weather and almost canceled because of weather today. But God worked it all out and we were able to enjoy the children singing this morning. I couldn't get a good photo of Hannah because for one she was in the back row and for two...all she could do was watch herself up on the video screens. I have video but am having a horrible time with my blog program tonight so maybe I can get it up later. I got the video to work it can be viewed after the photos.

Blessings,
Bliss

Referrals

Yesterday was exciting as several families from our agency received referrals. I was so happy for them as they will have something extra special to celebrate this Christmas season. It was also nice to see some referrals going out as it has been a while.

There are also families traveling to ET over the Christmas holiday to bring their precious children home. Their blogs are listed on the right hand side under traveling families.

Blessings,
Bliss
