For New Years Eve we went to Russ's house and were able to spend the evening with all his brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Everyone was there this year and it was so great to eat and talk and eat and talk and eat! But once 2011 hit, the real fun began...
12:00- HAPPY NEW YEAR!
12:10- We go to bed (we are party animals!) (and just for a little background- EVERYONE was there so Link slept in a pack n' play in the same room)
4:00- Link wakes up
4:05- We feed him a bottle
4:10- We put him back in his pack n' play
4:11- We get into bed (and it's squeaky) so Link starts to cry
4:13- I get up and hold him and wipe his nose because he has a cold and can't breathe
4:15- I put him back in his pack n'play
4:16- He hears us and starts to cry
4:20-Russ gets up with him and holds him...etc... this goes on until...
5:10- We decide that Link is NOT going back to sleep and if we keep letting him cry he's going to wake up EVERYONE in the house and then there will be a multitude of crying babies and children so we decide to head home (20-30 miles away)
5:15- Russ goes into the FREEZING cold to turn our cars on (we have seperate cars because Russ came straight from work)
5:16- Lincoln is all smiles playing with his blocks and jabbering away
5:20- Link has a stinky diaper
5:21- I realize that I have a diaper and not wipes
5:25- Grandma wakes up and finds wipes for us
5:26- I change Link's diaper
5:30- We get in our cars and drive home (Link falls immediately to sleep)
6:05- We get home and put link to sleep
6:15- We go back to sleep
8:30- Link wakes up (He usually wakes up at 7:00 so we were very glad that he slept in... or we didn't hear him until then!)
How did you spend the first hours of 2011?

sounds like our morning, only mine was with a teething monster with a runny nose and runny eyes. an adorable monster... but a monster nonetheless :)
That sounds like us every time we visit home- -Teryn can hear that we're in the same room and he refuses to sleep!! Except our house is 4 hours away so we have to deal with it! Oh the joy, eh? Link is such a cute little guy!
We were at my parents cabin. Exactly like us, except we got desperate enough to feed her mac n cheese at 5 am. Whatever she slept till 9 am after!
Whit we had the same experience last week with Tal. We got snowed in at my mom's house and it was the worst night of my life. I woke up for the one hundredth time at 6am and just drove home. I'm sorry! Hopefully nights start looking up for you guys during the new year:)
