Christmas 2009

On Wednesday, December 23rd, I headed to my company lunch in WI Dells with the First Technologies crew and we had a very nice lunch. On my way home, I got a text from Mariah that Kaylee was puking. Great. She was sick for about 24 hours, she couldn't even keep water down. So, Mariah and I headed to Church on Christmas Eve and Justin and Kaylee stayed home. We visited for a couple hours with Grandma Nagel and then headed home. At 2am, the flu bug got to Mariah and she and Justin stayed home while Kaylee and I headed to the lake. Mariah was pretty sad to miss the big Christmas get-together. She was able to go to Grandma Nagel's on Saturday for our Christmas celebration and Sunday to my Mom's, for Christmas there. So, it was a tough couple of days here, but we were lucky that Justin and I didn't catch this bug!

Happy Holidays!

I have been working on finishing up wrapping gifts and getting organized for a busy weekend. Kaylee has come down with a flu bug- almost 24 hours of puking! She has been a trooper, but I hope she will feel better in time to celebrate Christmas tomorrow. She is sleeping now and I hope she feels much better when she wakes up.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and health and happiness in 2010.

Almost Christmas...

We are in the midst of the "hustle and bustle" of the holiday season! I am scurrying around to find just the right gifts and have yet to wrap a single thing... I can't believe Christmas is in a week! Where has the time gone? Wasn't it just Thanksgiving?

I can't wait to spend time with our family and friends over the holidays... what a special time of year.

Update...

Mariah went to the ENT doctor today. He said that she does not need her tonsils out, but can if she wants to. He suggested that if she gets another infection, she should have them out. She thought that was a good plan. So, we will see how she does. Hopefully she won't have another infection!

Volleyball practice starts on Sunday night! The season begins... we will send out a schedule when we have it! Tournaments should start in January.

We are getting ready for Christmas- the tree is up and the house is decorated (inside). Mariah decided to put up her own tree in her room. She has our old tree in her room and it looks really nice! It is bigger than the one we have in the living room! She is really in the Christmas spirit this year... she had her Santa hat on and her red and white striped socks while she decorated her tree. She even got up at 4am on the day after Thanksgiving and shopped with me! It was fun... we got a lot accomplished... she picked out too many gifts for herself, though.

I haven't taken too many pics lately, but hope to get some new ones up soon...
