Happy "News" Year....

 Rewind some 2012 and fly into 2013......

Well as you can tell the nest has been too busy to pull ourselves away from the TV to post anything.  I could make some crude statement about how we've all been out skiing and tubing with the Jeeps, don't think I don't mean the birds...Can't you picture them in their little ski outfits...?  Yes in this dream we're assuming that they would never fly away from their parents because we're way too cool.  Okay, back to reality.  The fact is that I've been too lazy, I admit it....Say it out loud Erin...."LAZY"..... to blog,..Since all of you know me all too well, lazy usually isn't a word you would use to describe me....anyway.....Here's some pictures and stories to catch you up on the happenings at the Nest:

CiCi's Hatch Day

10.20.12

Our little princess' big day

Here are some pictures of the event

Our Sweet Keet CiCi

The gang

Party Girl

The Princess

She's sassy and will pretend to be shy and even play the "my wing is broke" trick on you to get some sympathy, especially when Dad comes close with those darn wing trimming scissors. 

Decorating of the Christmas Tree

Kyle and Cici knew the drill, but the other four, Jiji, Kyle, Big Girl and Rockie were in for a surprise.

Christmas Morning-Santa Parrot had payed his visit

As many of you know I'm a Christmas Freak!  I love Christmas to the point of jumping out of bed as early as my parents will permit me.  If you're wondering 5am is the earliest I can even attempt to call.  This year I slept in until 5:30 only because I had the wise idea of pranking my parents at 2:30am as a "trial run"  When we finally got the approval to go open gifts at my parents, we had to celebrate Christmas with our feathered Children first.  Of course you know Santa Parrot had left surprises in their stockings...Yes we had 6 stockings hanging :)

I'm awake, please take the picture and leave me alone....

Merry Christmas Big Girl

Even Herman and Hermit got woke back up, or should I say they were on their way to bed since they stay up all night.

Christmas Gifts!!!!!!!

Our Christmas Card

 2013-Present

Well this brings us to the current....Not too much has transpired in the few days of the New Year.  Unfortunately many family members including our home have been plagued with the flu/sinus infections, etc.  My Christmas Vacation was pretty much a snooze fest.  Lazing around in my pajamas most of the time and enjoying girlie movies.  We did have the luxury of Bill being able to spend more time with us as the trucking industry decided to permit 4-day weekends with the holidays. 

Tomorrow we celebrate JiJi and Jasper's hatch day.  Hard to believe an entire year has gone by!

Love from the Nest!!  Pictures to come!
