disappointment

For all us UNI panther fans, we had a big disappointment yesterday. On home field, in the semi-finals, UNI lost at the last few minutes by one point. It was such a disappointment to go through the game with hope and then loose in the end. Phil's Christmas present this year was tickets to the playoff games so I feel kind of bad for him but we'll look forward to next year.

On a good note, we've been decking our house with our Christmas decorations and getting excited to have fun, food, and family time in the next few weeks. Phil has taken a few days off so that will be nice to have him around. We've got our house decorated and Wendell loves the Christmas tree. Now if only our outside Nativity set would stay up, then we'd be set. As you can see below, Wendell has lots of stuffed Christmas animals but his favorite is the green and red moose because it shakes and plays music.

The other exciting upcoming event for us is that Wendell will turn 2 next week so we're having a "kid" birthday party on Wednesday, and a "Grandparents" birthday party on Friday, and then his actual birthday is on Sunday. I will take lots of pictures and keep you posted.

We'll be busy the next few weeks so I apologize now if I don't get any new postings soon. Hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
