* Christmas went WAY too fast. We crammed 5 Christmases in 2.5 days the weekend after Christmas and rounded out our celebrations this past weekend in Hastings.
* My sister was home from DC for Christmas! With all of the crappy weather and delayed flights from the few days earlier we thought for awhile she may not make it. BUT lucky for us she caught a flight into Cincinnati where she then proceeded to drive to Iowa with a guy she had met at the airport in DC. He was traveling to Des Moines so that worked out rather well! We were all happy to have her home.
* New Years Eve was very uneventful. You know you are old when you are asking yourself if it really matters whether or not you actually see the ball fall at midnight rather than just calling it good at the East Coast ball drop... :)
* We were pumped that the Hawks won on Jan 1. It started 2009 off right for us!
* I spent New Year's Day watching the Hawkeyes and then I headed down to Fairmont for the annual Anderson/Gunderson bowling extravaganza. We missed JR but still had a good time. I actually bowled over 100 which made my day. I had hoped that all the Wii bowling had improved my game but no such luck! After our games our tradition is to eat at Jake's Pizza. By far the BEST pizza around and I would eat there all of the time if I could. It was a really fun day!
* Friday night Jess and Mitch came to stay with us before we headed to Hunecke Christmas Saturday morning. While we were playing some FANTASTIC board :o) games we suddenly heard a VERY loud bang and heard glass pop then shatter. We were all stunned to see that the glass doors of our fireplace had exploded. Lucky for us no major fires started from that and even luckier, no one got hurt. Justin was sitting about 4 feet from the fireplace when it happened so we are really lucky that nothing shot out too far.
Any suggestions on what would be the cheapest, and still safe way to replace the glass?
* This weekend we headed up to Hastings for Hunecke Family Christmas. It was nice to hang out with everyone and especially nice to be with our niece and nephew. I love being around Jenna (as does Justin) because she is such a smart little girl. I can't get over how funny she is! Brody is hilarious too, he just grins at you and you can't help but smile back. I love watching Justin with the kids though, Jenna loves him and I think they could play all day long if we let them!
* Justin, Jess, Mitch, and I all went to the Vikings play-off game yesterday. Great time had by all (can read more about it in my previous post)
So, maybe that wasn't overly interesting but those are the quick highlights. Today was difficult for me to get motivated..... I have had a pounding headache all day long and can't seem to shake it. I am really hoping it isn't a migraine cluster coming on but I thinking it might be just that... I was really hoping to start the week/new year off right and really get a jumping start- BUT no such luck. Hopefully tomorrow starts out a little better!
AHHHH, Jenna and Brody love you guys, too! Jenna talks about you all the time. And, this morning Jenna was mad because Brody's toy crate was his and not hers. I assured her Aunt Mandy was going to make her one for her birthday! :)
