The Kollman's: January 2009

Last Sunday John turned the big 27!! Saturday night we celebrated by going to Keys on Main. It was so much fun! We invited all of our favorite people to come! Thanks to all of you who could make it!! John's parents even joined us! The dueling piano players had John come onstage and embarrassed him so badly!! They had him dance to Madonna's Like a Virgin. It was hilarious. I recorded it all! John drank entirely too much, but what else are you supposed to do on your birthday?!! The next morning I had a massage scheduled for him. Just what he needed after a long night of drinking!! Sunday night we went to dinner with our families to celebrate John and my other favorite man's birthday, my Grandpa!! I hope you both had wonderful birthdays. I love you both so much!!

Wow, has it been a crazy month!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. 2008 was such a great year!! I can't wait to see what 2009 brings! I'm hoping a vacation very soon, as this snow and cold season are going to be the end of me! I keep trying to talk John into moving somewhere warm but he keeps telling me no! Then I used my mad negotiating skills and said when we retire can we? He agreed to that!! Unfortunately, that is like 40 years away!!

This is what we woke up to on Christmas morning. The roads were horrible.

We got so much snow out in Herriman, it was horrible! Christmas was so fun though. We woke up extra early to go over to LeRoy and Krysti's to watch my adorable nieces open their presents. It made Christmas even more fun having the girls get so excited over everything they opened. It made me want to have kids now!! Not to mention, they are the cutest little things ever! Every outfit Hannah opened she had to put on. I've never seen a kid, especially a three year old get excited over clothes! She is going to be trouble for Jess and RJ!! Good luck with that guys!

Here is Hannah in one of her new outfits! She was too funny!

Madi loved her hippo we got her. When she opened it, she said, "now I have somting to sweep wif". Or now I have something to sleep with!

If you can't tell, I love my nieces!! They made me excited for when we have kids. It will make Christmas fun again. Not saying that Christmas isn't fun, but it will be more exciting and special when we have kids! I got John RockBand for Christmas. He told me he wanted it, so I bought it. Now he hates it and resents it because I'm addicted to it and make him play it!! Everyone that comes over, I make them play!! Let's just say that he took the game away from me the other night because I can't stop playing it! I made a special purchase for Ashley's Christmas present!! I bought her some Juicy earrings!! She loved them! I was so excited to give them to her!! Her reaction was priceless!!

Happy New Year everyone!! My resolution this year is to be happy!! I'm already very happy, but I'm going to eliminate things that don't make me happy! Too bad that won't work with snow, but here' s to hoping!! I love you all!!
