Well, lets see, first of all, last Monday morning we woke up to Snow in Vegas! Although it actually only snowed in Henderson. Vegas and Summerlin has next to no snow! Anya loved it. She had no idea what to make of it though. She liked saying Snow,Snow, Snow though! I’ll be posting some new pics from Christmas and the snow this weekend so check for the new photos on Monday or Tuesday. This past Friday though little Anya came down with a mild fever and a cough. She was a little sick still on Christmas so we went to the doc on Tuesday and she had sinusitis, which is a mild sinus infection. Strangely though she never really had a runny nose, but she’s doing much better now. She has also started sleeping totally through the night. She goes to bed around 9pm and wakes up between 730 and 800am.
Sadly, my Mammaw, my maternal grandmother, passed away Christmas Day in Alabama. She had a stroke a few weeks ago and had a fairly steady decline from there. We thought she was doing better for a while there, but then last week she made the trip to the hospital again for an infection and after she returned to the nursing home this past Thursday she just couldn’t improve. She’s in a better place now and I will miss her a lot. I was unable to attend her funeral this past Wednesday, but I wrote a couple of pages about my grandmother that was read during her service and so I was there in some form at least.
Christmas was still good for us though. We were blessed to have a home and friends and family that sent all of us nice presents, as well as being able to provide some gifts for each other and Anya, so we are very thankful for the many things we have and were given. Anya got a sit n spin which she likes a lot, as well as a Viewmaster and some Incredibles figures. She also got books, clothes, an art set, some new bath toys, a tea set that she really likes and tries to feed Chance tea from, coloring books, an Elmo puppet, a Curious George, and several movies. Thanks to everyone for what they gave her!
Travis gave me a new hair straightener and an Iced Tea Maker. I gave him a Norelco razor and new speakers for his car. His new toy/bonus from work though is a Nintendo Wii. So, he goes Wii, Wii, Wii quite often now!
Hope all is well with everyone. Happy New Year!
