What are we up to?

So I know that I have dropped off the blogger planet the last little while, but I have been busy! So here is a run down of what we have been up to....

Jesse:
- Working hard
- Working
- and more Working
- Keeping the fire going while we had no power

Chris:
- Studying for finals
- Aiding the ailing at Clinicals
- Shopping for the Holidays
- Wrapping
- Getting over illness after illness
- Finishing the semester with a 91.58%!
- Trying to keep the house running
- Working for the College

Aidan:
- Talking up a storm
- Playing with lots of toys
- Trying to be nice to his sisters
- Waiting patiently to go back to school
- Saying hilarious things such as "That is ridiculous" and "That is not appropriate"

Cora:
- Loving school -- before the power outage
- Playing
- Trying to be nice to siblings
- Giving lots of hugs
- Decorating and redecorating the Christmas Tree

Haylee:
- Giggling
- Playing, of course
- Enjoying the snow
- Perfecting the art of undressing, apparently clothes are overrated!

So I think that sums it up! It has been a roller coaster the past few weeks as we lost power during the ice storm for four days and had to move to Mamie and Pa's house since they have the fire place. It was a good practice of our emergency plans and with little exception it went off without any problems.

And as I write this it has started snowing again...it is very pretty...I just hope that the roads are safe for Jesse to get home from work OK.

Anyhow, we would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season and we hope that you and your families are safe and joyous time together!
