Last Christmas Celebration and New Years

This year we celebrated Christmas with Jason's mom and his brothers in Milwaukee over the New Years weekend. So we had a weekend full of celebrations...starting with New Years Eve on Friday night, Christmas at Troy and Dena's and the Rosebowl with the Badgers on Saturday and of course...the Packers on Sunday. It was a fun and exciting weekend full of fun with cousins, aunts and uncles and grandma! Jillian was so excited she didn't want to sleep much (which is always expected when playing with cousins is involved!). Friday afternoon Jason got tickets for everyone to go to the Milwaukee Wave game. It was super fun, although they lost. Jillian didn't know what to think of it at first and had a sumo grip around my neck for a while. She did warm up to the atmosphere and seemed to enjoy the game and cheered on the Wave. We then headed back to our house, ordered some pizza and hung out with family to ring in the New Year. Saturday morning we headed over to Troy and Dena's to open presents and cheer on the Badgers. There were way too many presents (as usual, grandma spoils us)and a lot of good food. Unfortunately the Badgers lost, but it was still a fun day with lots of playing with cousins. Jillian did not sleep at all that day and crashed on our way home. Sunday Todd and Meg's family challenged us to a little Wii sports before lunch. Anna, Leah and Isaac schooled everyone in bowling! They headed home after lunch but Grandma stuck around to cheer on the Packers! (who won and made the playoffs!).

Jillian was not so sure of the loud indoor field and our cute little family.

These two were so cute playing...James is quite the bruiser!

Isaac (pictured here with Grandma) was VERY into the game and James...well its James!

Grandma, you're tickling me!

A couple good pictures of just the kids in their Buckey gear!

The oldest girls were great helpers with the little ones.

Opening presents...look James we have the same ornament!

And of course...playing with the doggy, Reggie!

Who can pass up a little rough housing with daddy and cousin Sam?!?!

Snuggling up with cousin Anna!
It was a great time and a fun way to end our holiday season!
