Donnie's sister Ursula came down from Atlanta to celebrate New Year's Day with us. Her husband, Keith's, mom is still in the hospital so he spent the day with her and his family. Our plans for spending this coming weekend with them had to be rescheduled again, because she is recovering a little slower than everyone had hoped. But the blessing is that she is recovering.
When Urs walked through our door... our younger two boys literally ran to her, threw their arms around her, yelling 'Aunt Ursula!' It was SO cute... and of course she LOVED it!!!!
Since we had to reschedule our Christmas weekend... Urs decided to bring all her gifts down for New Year's Day. We all were quite spoiled!! The boys received some really great books and games... and Sky got a 5x5 Rubik's Cube. He had 2 sides solved by the time Urs left that evening!
Urs brought Donnie a really cool wooden Mind Benders game... which him & Skyler played with for quite a while.
As for me... I got QUITE pampered! Urs is now retired... but has done hair for over 20 years. So I got the royal treatment... complete with a gift bag full of salon hair products! We're working on putting platinum blonde highlights in my hair, to really brighten it up... but today, we needed to put some medium ash blonde low lights in it too.
It looks a lot shorter in this photo... but she cut only 2 inches off the back, and gave me a lot more layers. I LOVE it!!!
We had SO much fun visiting with Urs today... the boys can't WAIT to spend the weekend at her & Uncle Keith's house and ride dirt bikes (neither can Donnie & I =) !!!!Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
