Happy New Year 2009!
Well, it didn't work out for my whole family to come to Idaho for Christmas because of the weather and road conditions, but my mom and sister were able to fly over last Sunday to spend a couple days with us. It was so good to see them! I was hoping that they might get snowed in here and have to stay a week or two! ;oD
We stayed up WAY too late every night, probably ate too much junk food, did a little shopping, played some Phase 10, took LOTS and LOTS of pictures... we had a great time! Talon had a blast, of course, and both of the kids got spoiled! Kaitlyn was hardly put down the entire time they were here, and Talon had someone to entertain him constantly... he loved it! Auntie Melanie even pulled him around the house in his new sled. Every morning when he got up, the first thing he wanted to do was run to their bedroom door and wake them up to play. If I would start whispering and keep him away from the door so he couldn't knock, he would start raising his voice in the hall so they would know he was up and wanted in. The little stinker!
They brought a whole suitcase full of gifts, and by the time it was all over, it looked like a tornado had struck our living room!! Both of the kids got a ton of new clothes; and Talon, of course, got a bunch of fun toys and books. Aunt Melanie got him a remote control car that he likes to play with, and is scared to death of it at the same time. It's pretty funny! Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Donna got him his own real guitar. He loves it! He thinks it's pretty fun when Mommy sings along while he plays. Grandma got him some blinking Christmas socks, and he wants to wear them 24/7... even to bed! I'm still trying to figure out how to wash them without ruining the lights. Sometimes he gets off balance when he walks because he's not watching where he's going- he's too busy looking at his feet!

Sigh! Off to the airport on New Years Eve!

We had so much fun with you guys! Thanks again for everything. I was already missing the little stinkers by the time we boarded the plane back home.
