The Last Day of 2009

What, another year gone already? The time just flies when you are having fun! This past year has been full of new and exciting things. I started a new job in the summer, my youngest turned one year old, McKenna started Kindergarten, Kambry started going to preschool two days and week, and my husband completed his first triathlon. We kept very busy with many extra activities too! McKenna played t-ball for the first time in the spring and both McKenna and Kambry played soccer for the first time in the fall. I can't wait for next year! Aislynn is still very unsteady at times and has a tendency to fall and hit her head. On Monday, she fell and hit the doorway to her room. Now a big ole' bruise is on her forehead. I don't have any photos for this post but I am just trying to play catch up with blogging. The holidays are still slowing me down. Hooray for the last day of 2009. Here's looking to 2010!!

Where Have I Been?

The holidays have seem to just drag me into laziness but also kept me busy doing other things. In the past 10 days I have only worked one time. I have done lots of shopping and lots of cooking, baking and cleaning. I have watched all my children open their presents with big smiles on their faces, and have bagged many bags of trash from all the boxes and paper. Our trees look so sad with no presents under them. We will keep them up and lit till the new year, which is quickly approaching. Soon it will be 2010! Wow, another decade gone by. I hope this year is even better than the last. Grammy and Aunt Sabrina are visiting us now. My hubby and I actually have plans for New Years Eve....I will tell more later. This week should be fun.
I can't leave a post without any photos...so here are a couple.

Merry Christmas!

Wow, I can't believe that Christmas is almost over. We have been so busy around here the last couple of days that I haven't been able to update my blog.
First, I want to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas. I hope you all had a wonderful day and spent it with the ones you love.
My girls have been on cloud nine over the past week. First it was all the activities at school last week and then Nana coming to visit. Then we got to start making Christmas cookies together and getting all of our presents wrapped. We ate a delicious meal on Christmas Eve with a yummy ham as our main course. That evening we all sat around on the floor and opened presents one by one. I think it took about an hour and a half to do that. We did lots of cleaning of wrapping paper and got ready for bed. Santa had his milk and cookies and then left the girls some wonderful presents. This morning we woke up and had a wonderful breakfast. The sun came out and we decided to drive to downtown and try out my new lens. It was a great day! Here are just a couple of photos of the past few days. I hope to add more soon.

The Monday before Christmas

Wow! Is it already that time? Christmas has snuck upon me once again. Just when I thought I was all caught up on shopping and getting ready for the holidays, the time has come so quickly and now I feel as if I have so much to do. Nana is here visiting and the girls are loving all the attention. I got most of my wrapping done but now I am planning my meals. I love to eat during the holidays. It's probably not a good thing but I really enjoy all the yummy food. Are you ready for Christmas? Do you still have shopping to do?

I wanted to say a huge congratulations to all my bloggy friends our there that had their babies in the past two weeks!! I know many of them were ready to have those precious additions just in time for Christmas.

We are busy around here, I will try to post some pictures soon. Have a great week everyone!

Party Time

It's that time of year again. I love parties! Any gathering with people and food and I am there. Tuesday we had a Christmas party with my work. We had it at a pizza place called the Mellow Mushroom. I had never been there before but it was so yummy I will definitely be going back. We had a great time and passed around gifts and watched the kids be silly. I took Aislynn and another girl brought her little boy. They shared food with each other, it was pretty cute to watch. Tomorrow we are going to a party for my husband's work. It's adults only so I am ready to have a good time. The girls are going to daycare for the evening. Then, on Saturday Nana is coming to visit. The girls are very excited about that. Here are a few pics from us having fun at the party a couple of days ago.

The Results

I did end up taking Aislynn into the dentist and this is what he said: She will be fine. The two teeth are not broken and will survive. They are pushed up and back approximately a mm each way. Even though her baby teeth may not line up and those will be farther back they should continue to grow in and will in no way affect her permanent teeth. That is good news! This is the x-ray of her teeth from yesterday.

Ouch!

Yesterday while I was at work, Aislynn fell on the corner of the coffee table and hit the side of her mouth. She was asleep when I got home and I didn't see her until this morning. I was getting her dressed for a couple of quick pictures with her sisters and noticed that something didn't look quite right. The right side of her face is all swollen and as I went in to inspect a little closer I saw that the inside of her lip is purple and very swollen and the right upper teeth/gum area seems to look like it is pushed back. I am not sure if it's just all the swelling that's making it look this way or if her teeth are pushed back. Has anyone else had an incident like this? I think I should call a dentist to see what is going on or if anything needs to be done. Any advice would be great. She doesn't seem to be in any discomfort so that is a good thing.
Here are all my girls together...looking so sweet. By the way, we did have to bribe them with getting to paint afterwards in order to get full compliance. In the end, it was worth it for me!
