Little bit of this, little bit of that!

The last few weeks have really flown by! I always seem to forget how busy the month of December can be, and here we are three days before Christmas and I still have shopping to do!
But at least we have been trying to have a little fun. Dad, Craig and Scott did a little ice fishing and caught some pretty big fish (almost makes me want to go one time)! Of course dad had to play with his a little!While the men were enjoying a boys day out, Robin and I went out with the girls. The last two years we have headed to the Melting Pot! A little way to spoil ourselves during the holidays.I have been a little overwhelmed with the care of Tanner lately...He had minor surgery on the 11th of December to remove some small bumps under his eyelids. Thought it would be easier, but he has been sporting the "cone of shame" (if you haven't seen UP!, do) since and it has been a bit of a challenge. But on top of that he has been back to the vet 5 times since the 11th, today being one of those trips! He broke a blood clot one day and I didn't know why his eye was bleeding, then he twisted his elbow (bad!) and was not bearing any weight. This was followed by one of his stitches coming loose and rubbing an ulcer onto his eye. Whew!! All I can say is I'm ready for our little guy to be better! I hate seeing him in pain like this. Stitches will hopefully come out Wednesday and as long as his ulcer is healing he will be able to ditch the cone and be a normal dog just in time for Christmas!Davis has been home for a couple of weeks now! He is doing really well and it is so fun to love on him without all of his accessories (feeding tube, oxygen, heart monitor, etc.). Sara even came home for a few days and it has been great to have both my sisters here!! Brotherly love...Both of Scott's sisters were in town this last weekend as well! We finally got to meet little Devyn! Sadly, I took my camera and forgot to get it out. I was having too much fun watching her and playing with Madison! I will have to remember to get pics next time!!

Always plenty to be thankful for...

We had a relatively quiet Thanksgiving week, but it was great to have the family time!
Thanksgiving isn't the same without football, and I have been anxious to get to a Bronco's game this year. I got a great deal on sixth row tickets for the Sunday game against the Chargers. It was a fun day, despite their loss. We were able to get four tickets so Scott's mom and sister joined us and we were finally able to take them to Casselman's after the game!

This same Sunday, the H1N1 restrictions were lifted off of the hospital and Cole was finally able to go meet his little bro! I know Robin and Craig were pretty excited about this! Davis is doing great. He is almost 7 pounds and growing like a weed. He is being a little stubborn though and still only nurses every other feeding or so. As soon as he figures this out he can go home and we are all anxious for that!
Thanksgiving day, Scott and I had a nice day at home alone. Scott cooked one of his pheasant and we napped a lot! It was great to have the day and him all to myself! Then Saturday we headed over to my parents house. Didn't take many pictures but we had a great time. Cole got a little football practice in and played baby with Uncle Scott...

...we enjoyed the company of family. Watched a movie, played the traditional game of Phase 10 and of course ate.

It was a pretty great week! We did take Tanner over to my parents and he came home pretty sore. It breaks my heart to begin to realize that Tanner may just never be able to run and play like he used too. Still think his treatment helped a little, but was hoping for more of a miracle...
