FL or bust!

January 10, 2017

After Christmas we had one day at home to play with new toys (yay!), get all the Christmas decorations put up (ugh!), and apparently get strep throat (double ugh!). Yes, by Christmas night Maxwell was in tears because his throat hurt so bad and when the fever came too, I knew it was strep. We were up at the doctor first thing the morning of the 26th and got that strep positive test! So thankful we had a day at home to rest and start a round of bubblegum medicine!

I was also pretty proud of myself for getting the tree down and ALL the inside decorations put up that day. I knew I wasn’t going to want to come home from the trip to a decorated house so I made myself get it done. Check check!

By the morning of the 27th, we were feeling good and ready to head to sunny Florida!

With thanks to GJ, Samantha now has her own “baby iPad” to use for trips! Between that and plenty of gummies, we did just fine on the flight!

When we got there, the kids wasted no time making themselves at home…

and then opened more presents!

My favorite gifts were these hilarious Star Wars masks (Chewie was the best!)….

The boys’ favorite was these light up cars and track…

Tis the season

December 20, 2016

Holiday happenings around here….

Maxwell had his Christmas program at school last week on Wednesday and Thursday. Sadly, I had to go to San Francisco for work and had to miss it. But, I was able to go to the dress rehearsal on Tuesday and had a front row seat!

Maxwell did great. He stood perfectly still and sang his songs just like he was supposed to. No surprise there!

Thankfully Robert was Super Dad while I was gone and got to the school early to get a good seat for the main event…

He also went to Maxwell’s class Christmas party and took all 3 kids to basketball practice! A HUGE thanks to him and, of course, Mrs. Susan for keeping things running smoothly while I was gone.

Other holiday fun…
