Holidays, Here & Gone

Happy 2009! I hope this post finds everyone healthy & happy in the new year. It's amazing to me how quickly the holidays came & went this year. You spend a month preparing & in the blink of an eye it's all over. We actually had a very laid bck holiday season this year. Dylan still doesn't quite grasp the concept yet, but he had a great time ripping into all the gifts he received. Which was way too much for any 18 month old. The funny thing is out of all the toys & clothes he received his favorite thing was the $2 pack of hockey cards from Papa & Nana Ginestet. Go figure. I will post pictures of him unwrapping gifts as soon as I collect all of them.

New Years was pretty quite for us. We had planned on making the trip up north to celebrate with the Blackwood Clan but germs over took us & we were all sick with nasty colds. Unfortunately we had to stay home. But we didn't ring in the new year by ourselves, Chris Kristi, Mr. P & Chris's Polish friend Andy joined for the evening. Now let me just give you a little background on Andy, he is from POland speaks very broken English & had us in stiches most of the evening. If you want to have a visual of Andy just think of Borat, the look accent everything. We really lost it when Ben handed him a shot of the polish vodka he brought & Andy says & I quote "Very Nice", I thought Borat was in the room. Next our cat Oreo ventured out from the back of the house, she is in need of a hair cut so she is quite furry right now. When Andy saw her he asked us if we had a fox. I had to leave the room becuase I lost it right then. & the fun littel comments continued until they left. So needless to say it was a very entertaining night.

The Blackwood bunch has also discovered another love, Guitar Hero II for Nintendo Wii. I just want to say this game needs to come with a disclaimer, "will cause severe body ache & discomfort". My neck hurt so bad from rocking out that I thought I was coming down with meningitis. Obviously I was being paranoid. Anyhow we are officially addicted to this game. So for anyone who wants to challenge our band BRING IT ON!

One last note, this past Tuesday while Dylan was at daycare, he ate a whole can of Beefaroni for his afternoon snack at 3pm. I was utterly shocked still am. I thought everyone would get a kick out of that fun fact.
