still busy!

i thought once christmas was over we could all catch our breath and relax. that has yet to happen! we had a GREAT christmas (pictures soon!!!), other than having the sickies the whole time. :( and round 2 of them has started today, i'm afraid. :P the girls got almost every single (reasonable) thing on their lists. so you can imagine the past weekend was spent finding room for everything and letting go of a few oldies. we spent new year's eve weekend with my brother charley and his girlfriend mandy (pictures of that soon too), as has become our tradition --- we've spent the past 3 new years with them, kind of coincidently. since we were all sick none of us actually made it to new years, though. next year we have vowed not to be party poopers (as ella says.) hee!!! and speaking of uncle charley, he turns the big 3-0 today, so happy birthday!!!!! :D here's a totally unrelated picture of wilson eating cereal for the first time. hopefully next time i won't take a month to post. ;)
