Where does the time go?

So here it is 2009 and I am so far behind on my blog. You girls are so great about it, really puts me to shame. Not to mention I haven't taken enough pictures to post for the holidays and what not. So I'll just have to piece this post together. Not really sure where to start. I guess I will start with now and work backwards. I am recovering from my hysterectomy, which was a Christmas gift from my OB. Yes, I had surgery on Christmas Eve. But I did get to stay in FBC to recover so that was pretty special. Had some really great nurses who made sure that I never hurt or threw-up which are two very important things. New Years of course was uneventful. High on percocet was about it. Derek suggested Grace beat a pan at midnight and then got irritated when she did. He was tired by midnight. Me, I was still numb from the meds. We celebrated Christmas on the 23rd, which was actually good. The lines were non existent for returns. I think we may do it again next year. hehe. We drove down to Medford for Thanksgiving. Stayed in a hotel, that seems to be a better idea than crowding Derek's mom and dad's house now that Sarah has gotten married. Unfortunately I did not get to watch the Macy's Day Parade, which is something I really enjoy. But o'well. That is really all that is going on here. Derek and Jimmy have gone skiing a couple times. I guess the snow on the mountain is great. I saw that Coutiers went sledding. I think they went to Sun River, but hmm, they didn't call.

So here are some pictures that I have showing all this great fun....

Grace's note to Santa... she's crazy.
Electronics for everyone.
