Brooke's 29th Birthday and Abigail's 18 Month Check Up

Well, I cannot believe how fast the month of January just flew by!  It is already January 30th and I feel like the month and the year just began.  We have had a crazy few past weeks.  Not much has changed in the Wisian household, but we have managed to remain busier than ever. :-) 
After we celebrated bringing in the New Year as a family, I started back up at work (I am still working as an occupational therapist in the school district) and Clayton went back to work (although my man never really got much of a break for the holidays but that is how business works).  Clayton's younger sister, Holly, came and stayed with us for a few days and it was so nice to have her with us as we miss her terribly now that she is back at school in Hawaii--paradise!! While she was here we took her all around to run our errands--poor thing--but we also took lil' Miss Abigail to her 18 month old check up with the Pediatrician.  Yes, she is already 18 months old--can you believe it?!?  Honestly, where did our baby go?  She is such a big girl now.  She weighed 34 pounds, is 36 inches long and off the charts for her age.  Her doctor let us know that Abigail is doing great and she is as tall as some three year olds.  Let me tell you, when she stands this girlie is TALL! :-)   She has always been longer/taller than other babies her age so there are no worries with how fast she is growing because she always seems to keep a steady pace with this. :-)

On January 24th I celebrated my 29th birthday party and my most amazing husband made a spectacular dinner for me and my family.  We had 11 over for dinner and this is what he made for us. 
-A Pot Roast with all the veggies
-Chicken in wine sauce
-Steamed Asparagus
-Chilled Salad
-Rolls
-Mashed potatoes

He is so amazing!!! After dinner we all played Pictionary in our living room and had the most laughs in awhile. Here are some pictures from all occasions.

She brings such happiness in our lives!  We are so incredibly blessed and thank God everyday for bringing her to us.

Christmas with the Wisian Family

I finally have a chance to sit down and write a little bit about our family Christmas 2010.  The entire month of December is usually spent with family and celebrating the birth of Christ together (The reason for the season after all)  The first weekend of December we went over to my older brother and sister-in-law house to have Christmas with my side of the family :-)  Todd and Kelli served everyone a lovely meal followed by playing a game of Bingo and then opening presents.  We had such a good time that we completely lost track of the time and left their house around 1 in the morning!!  Below are just a few pictures of Christmas celebration # 1.

 Abigail with her favorite person, Ashleigh. When Abigail sees Ashleigh in pictures or in person her whole body shakes from excitement! She adores everything about her cousin and can say her name clear as day.


 So excited about opening presents this year
 Bingo time!
 Check out my goofy husband
Crazy family picture

Now onto Christmas # 2 at the Wisian farm in Nordheim, Texas. We went to Nordheim, TX two weeks before Christmas and spent a few days with Clayton's side of the family. Below are some pictures from our second Christmas. :-)

Now for Christmas number 3 at our home.  We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with just the three of us.  We made traditional holiday sweets together on Christmas Eve, went to Mass, then out to dinner together.  Santa came and we woke up and spent Christmas morning at home and then went over to my mother's house for Christmas dinner.
