Its been a month since I blogged. Its been a busy month. We had a lot of Christmas celebrating to do. We spent about 10 days in IL visiting family and friends. We did our yearly cookie day with my friend and her family. We had such a blast! Madison had fun playing with Mathew. She would not let him out of her sight. It was so very adorable. If he left, she would call him and go get him and drag him back.
I got a day of adult time. My mom took Madison for the day and I went with Roberta to the spa for facials & massages. We then went to lunch and did a little bit of shopping. It was so nice. I don't remember the last time I had a day like that.
Madison and I were then given a covert mission to get Papaw's gift inside the house and wrapped without him knowing it. We were very successful.
We had lots of family time Thursday thru Saturday morning as my brother and his family were staying with our parents while we were there too! It was great fun watching Madison get to play with her cousins. We celebrated Christmas with them Saturday morning. Then Dan arrived around noon and we were off to go see Roberta and family to do Christmas with them. It was full of good food, great people, fun times, some tears & awesome gifts.
Then there was Christmas day! Oh the best day of all. It was nice to have our family together to celebrate. Madison got tons of gifts and she loves all of them! My favorite gift of all was that my husband didn't have to work the next day and got to stay with us for another night!
We drove home the day after Christmas and have been busy ever since. I think this may be the first time I've sat down for an extended period all week. I have taken down Christmas and made a lot of meals for the week and for freezing.
Madison had her 18 month well baby. She received 4 shots, but now we don't need any more until she is 4! The Dr confirmed what we already knew. That Madison is a tall skinny girl! 33 inches tall & 21 lbs! Other than having a cold she is healthy!
Looking forward to our last Christmas celebration tomorrow with Dan's family! Ringing in the New Year with them as well.
