Its Christmas!

Another Christmas has come and gone and we didn't go without this year! It was kinda sad not to be in Indiana with our family during the holidays but we were with our Connecticut family. Christmas Eve mom went to church and then we were off to the Moran's for an evening of fun, presents, food and drink. Christmas morning did not disappoint us. We awoke to a downstairs filled with presents for our whole family. Then we were off to the Pokrinchak's and to my mom's aunt's were we had more deilicious food and presents. It was a fun-filled two days and we had a White Christmas. We did miss Indiana for the holidays but we are on a fine new adventure of starting new traditions in Connecticut.

Lyla's Surgery

I never get to write on the blog because Sadie usually takes control, but today is a special day for me because I am having surgery. I have to get my adenoids out and new tubes put in my ears. I have had so many ear infections that they are hoping this does the trick and I will gain my full hearing back and have less infections. We had to get up early this morning and to my disappointment not have anything to eat or drink. I wanted a cup sooo bad and my mom and dad just kept informing me that it wasn't going to happen. We took Sadie to Julie's and off we went to Ridgefield to have my surgery. We arrived and I was so calm. The nurses were so nice to me and made me feel comfortable. Thankfully they waited till I was asleep before they put the IV in me. My mom was relieved to hear that. The doctors came in and off I went with the nurse to the operating room. As I left mom, the nurses were singing "Rudolph" for me and I was relaxed to go on beyond the doors.

About 45 minutes later, the doctors came out to tell mom and dad I did great! I was so happy to see them and cried out to mom while the nurse handed me over! We stayed for about 1 hour after the surgery and I had popsicles and juice. I was doing so well they let me go home. I ate some McDonald's for lunch and played with Sadie. I think I am feeling pretty well considering what I went through today. I have to get better for Santa's arrival!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I felt very special today!

Let it Snow!

Today was our first snow storm of the year! I didn't have school with anticipation of the snow and about noon it started to come down and now it hasn't stopped. After a few inches fell I went to try out my new boots with dad. Lyla wanted nothing to do with it and was quite content watching from the window and even that bored her. So after a few snowangels and falling in the snow I gave in and came in the house. It sure was fun to have our first snowfall a few days before Christmas. Now we are for sure guaranteed a White Christmas!

'Tis the Season!

WOW! It has been nothing but crazy here since Thanksgiving! We celebrated Dad's 36th birthday on the 3rd, we have had mom's Christmas party, I saw Cinderella's Christmas Show and then mom had to go back to Indiana for a few days to say goodbye to her grandma. It was a fun week as dad did a great job taking care of us and making sure we didn't get out of routine too much. It has been very busy as we are trying to get ready for the holidays. Lyla was suppose to have surgery today on her ears and adenoids, but an ear infection with a ruptured eardrum put a cancellation on that so she will have it done on the 22nd. We will write more as things get less hectic around here. We are very busy!
