Welcome New Year to everyone. So far so good in North Central Iowa. We had a great Christmas - Chris and I's first Christmas morning at home. It was awesome. We took the girls to Ames for Service on Christmas Eve (Mia made it to the second step on the stage at one point before I swooped her back to our seats in the back row...) then took a little detour on the way out of town to survey the local lights. Ella loved it, but didn't remain interested long. We put out some fudge and apple juice (that's all we had!!!) for Santa, then Chris braved the sub zero temperatures to sprinkle "Raindeer food" that Ella got at preschool on the lawn outside her window. Both were eaten come morning! :) We spent the morning opening presents and playing with new toys
before heading to the cabin for Christams dinner with the Gifford Clan. My uncle Bob sent the kids these hats. Awesome!
We've been doing lots of babysitting for a friend since getting back, but have been enjoying it immensely. They have a boy Ella's age and a girl Mia's. Ella and Colin became fast friends - she seems to enjoy having a boy around.
I close with what will no doubt reign as my favorite memory of 2009.
