Happy New Year!

Family and Friends. Thats what the Holidays are all about to me, so I had a great December.

My mom had heart valve replacement surgery at Northwestern on Dec 12. One week later, she came to stay at our house for a couple weeks to recuperate. The surgery was a success, and she is getting better. We had Christmas Eve at Buzz’ parents, like always. Buzz’ older brother took over the task of making the Fettucine Alfredo, for which I was grateful! Its hot in that kitchen! We opened gifts with the Ms, then came back home to exchange gifts and eat taco dip with my mom and sister.

Zibby fell asleep in the car on the way home, and didnt wake up until 4 am! She and I got up and played with her new dollhouse, in the light of the Christmas tree. We went back to sleep a few hours later, and everyone woke up around 11. Then Zibby got to open gifts and we called Tampa Owen and later my brother came over and we played cards adn then had a very late dinner. (The cook fell asleep nursing Zibby! oops! )

My mom went to stay with her best friend yesterday, and will stay there for another couple weeks, I think. Buzz wanted to watch the Bears (sorry!) so Zibby and I went to dinner with my friend Barrie and her two kids. We got home around 11 and then stayed up late watching Over The Hedge.

Today, we had our annual brunch at our friends, Cate and Mikes. They always serve quiches and crepes and other assorted yummies. Before kids we used to play Cranium and Scattergories after eating, but this year we played Moon Game and did Yoga Cards. It was a lot of fun Everyone had a laugh. Eventually we came home and napped.

Well, that sums up our holiday season-on to 2007! Yay!
