I have a bazillion photos to post. We have been busy busy busy! Christmas was really good aside from myself and Jack being sick :( He's been sick to the point of needing his nebulizer! I took him to the doc on Monday and went today for myself. I just started antibiotics which means no drinking for me so not much point in going out tomorrow :( I'm not happy about that. I don't think I've been out on New Year's Eve for like 3 or 4 years. I was so looking forward to drinking me face off. Oh well. It wouldn't have been all that fun having to lug around a ton of kleenex and blow 3 gallons of snot out of my nose in public every minute and a half.
Today is Jared's birthday. I made him the awesomest cake ever! It has 4 layers! 1 layer of cake, 1 layer of brownies, 1 layer of cheesecake, another layer of cake and frosting all in between and all over. It was delicious. We also had tacos for dinner and had my mom and Warren over since it's Amy, Erik & Simon's last night in town. I'm taking them to the airport at like 5am tomorrow :(
On to the photos:
