Christmas and the New Year

Thank goodness Dejan, Ava, and I celebrated a quiet peaceful Christmas before we left for our parent's houses, because otherwise I would have to say Ava's first Christmas was a disaster. I got a stomach virus that made me sicker then I have ever been in a long time and proceeded to pass it to Dejan then Ava. My mom was supposed to leave for Italy (that's a whole nothing story I won’t share), but instead she came home that night to find me sitting on the bathroom floor...I haven't done that since my college days! lol Needless to say, the three of us spent Christmas Eve lying on my Mom and Dad’s couch under a blanket sound asleep....Merry Freakin' Christmas. I guess you can just imagine how Christmas Day was; at least I got that sweet picture of Ava up there. I'm thinking Fiji sounds really good for Christmas next year!

We did get to see our nieces Addison and Anna and nephew Sam, which seemed to brighten the long days. Ava played really good with all of them and of course seemed totally bored once we came home.

New Year was spent in Iowa City with a bottle of Dom Perignon..."the last splurge", YEAH RIGHT DEJAN! It's always fun to go up there. Thanks for letting us invite ourselves Seabold's!

Happy New Year...here's to 2009!
