Christmas 2010!



It's been a crazy and fun couple of weeks so far and I have so many photos so I needed to put on a quick update. We spent a couple of days at a waterpark in Wisconsin Dells just before Christmas - it was nice to have some water play instead of snow play for a little while!! Morgan and Rowan have enjoyed the snow and have spent plenty of time sledding and tubing. Oliver is loving having his cousins here to play with and the two boys do a fantastic job of keeping Emily entertained as well. A couple of days ago we went to the Mall of America where Morgan and Rowan spent their time in the theme park on the rides!! Morgan wishes there was a shopping centre with rides like that in England!

Oliver was sick over Christmas with pinkeye and an ear infection but he is much better now and all the presents on Christmas morning made him forget about it for a little while. Emily is doing a great job of pulling herself up to standing on almost anything. She claps her hands all the time and does a great "so big" with her arms in the air. And today she started waving! I'll be taking her to the docs on Monday to get her latest vital statistics!

We have had some snowfall while the Curry's have been here but nothing like the blizzard of the weekend before they arrived. Mark has had a chance to use the snowblower though! Today it is raining (!) and it's amazing how fast the snow is melting although there is way way too much for it to go for good. It will be turning cold again though overnight and the weekend will be bitter so we'll have a nice ice skating rink to play with instead :)

Just a few more days of holiday to go and we have lots to pack in, including Rowan's 5th birthday tomorrow - fun!!!
