New Years Weekend

On Dec 30th, we went to Jon & Jennie's to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family.  It's always a fun time and Jon/Jennie have a beautiful house and do a marvelous job entertaining.  Madelyn did great - she loved their 2 dogs.  It was cute to watch Bishop & Madelyn play together with the dogs.

On New Years Eve we went to my best friend, Katie's, house.  We hung out with their family & her sister's family.  We went early & were home early but Madelyn actually made it later than we thought.  We were planning to leave around 7 but she did great so we didn't leave until a little after 8.  Madelyn loves people and especially other kids.  Katie's kids are a little over 2 1/2 and her sister's daughter is 2 1/2.  Everyone had fun and we love this tradition that we have started.

On New Years Day we went to my sister's house to watch the Vikings-Bears game.  Since the Bears have lost many of their starters to injuries the outcome of the game didn't matter much but we always have a fun time!  My parents came up too.

I ended up getting sick on New Years Day night, Ryan didn't feel well when he got up in the morning and then we took Madelyn into the doctor that morning (Jan 2nd) and found out she still had her double ear infection. 

My good friend & co-worker Shari offered to take Madelyn for an hour or two that afternoon so Ryan & I could rest.  It was the best thing for all of us!  I felt so refreshed after getting some sleep & Madelyn had a great time with Shari & Max.  Here are a few pictures of their time together.....

I learned how to wave and now I do it all the time!
I love the elevator game with my Dada!
