Wow, I didn't realize it has been so long since we entered any "news" on our blog. Looks like we were gearing up for the "Cheerfest" on my last entry. That was...an experience. Maddie's team did very well, I thought they were one of the best teams.
Christmas was lots of fun again this year. We spent Christmas eve with my parents, in Lake Crystal. My wacky brother (Steve), got Maddie a RoboPet. That thing is pretty cool too. I have included a photo here of that night. And I'll tell you why I like this photo. If you look past Maddie, you will see my big, tough, brother (Steve again - John is still in Japan) is doing something like a "Oh my goodness" church lady pose. Now, we all have seen photos like this of Steve before, but this one actually wasn't planned - I think he was actually just that excited about Maddie's present.
Late (and I mean LATE) Christmas Eve we headed over to Mapleton to get a few hours of sleep before the Christmas Day madness with the March family. The whole family was there this year, which means it was that much more chaotic, and that much more fun. I'll include a shot or two from Christmas morning as well.
New Year's eve we went over to the Crawford's to eat seafood and hang out. We actually managed to stay up until midnight!
Ben has been working on the bathroom, it is really starting to come together. Looks good so far. The porches need some attention when the weather gets warmer, and we plan on painting a few other rooms. Then we are going to list the house. Time to move on to something a little bigger.
Umm...Nothing is going on today, just hanging around the house this weekend. Ben is working on a homework project and I just finished my bowl of Life cereal. So now I am off to fold the laundry. Hope everyone is having a wonderful new year so far!
