Happy New Year...

We had a good Christmas and we babysat for Rett on New Years Eve. And yes, Grandma fell asleep on the couch at 8:00 but that was a good thing because Mr. Rett got up after 11:00 and then was up for good at 4:00 am. We just put him in bed with us and he "laid there" until 6:00 am.

These are some of my favorite pictures from the holidays especially the "couch" picture where Colby has her arms around the boys.

We celebrated with my twin nieces, Sarah and Amanda. They graduated from WIU on December 20th. Their Mom and Dad had a open house for them yesterday (1/4/09). They are very talented artists and love music. Amanda is continuing her education at ISU this next semester and Sarah will be returning to WIU to get a teachers certificate.

John is gone delivering a farm implement to Minnesota today. That gives me the day to start putting holiday stuff away and rearrange the shelves again. My pantry is a mess and so is the basement. Be safe out there and be warm!
