Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Yesterday Susan showed up with an AWESOME Christmas present for Maxwell. I’m just going to let you watch it all unfold from the pictures…
Completely awesome, right?! They’re John Deere boots and I love them…and so does Maxwell!! They are easily going to become the favorite footwear around here!!
Thanks Susan! You’re the BEST!
D’oh!
Only 4 days until Christmas and I haven’t sent my list to Santa yet! Why do I put this off until the last minute every year?
Yesterday Susan and Maxwell took a field trip to the Bass Pro Shop. That place is like a funland for little kids! There’s even an aquarium inside! Their real purpose in visiting was to see Santa again and remind him of one last thing that Maxwell wants on Christmas morning.
This visit went just about as good as visit #1 and visit #2! This face might be my favorite ever though….
Look at that pouty lip!! Don’t worry, Susan rescued him right after the photo was snapped and not too many tears were shed. Oh…I could just eat that little boy up.
In other news (I say that a lot, don’t I?), it’s time to clean off the iphone…
See you tomorrow!
Happy Monday everyone ! Only 6 days until Christmas! What?!
Despite some sickness floating around, we had a great weekend. Maxwell had been pretty congested all last week (probably from basically licking the airplane on our way back from Disney) and on Friday morning he seemed to be pulling at his ear. So, up to the doctor we went and, sure enough, he had an ear infection. Dr. Walley said is was still very early and really not that bad yet. Thank goodness. I could already tell he was feeling better after only 3 doses of the Amoxicillin. Just in case though, he did take time to take it easy this weekend…
He seems to be back to his normal self now! I on the other hand am not feeling so great and am afraid I have a sinus infection. No fun. Considering there’s so much to be done this week before Christmas, I’m just going to ignore it and hope it goes away. Sounds like a good plan, right?
In other news, Maxwell discovered the toilet paper…
and wanted to wear his hat around all day Friday.
So cute. Anyone notice something strange about that monkey?
Also, I got to meet Santa…
and Robert and I got all dressed up Saturday night and went to a fun Christmas party. Too bad I didn’t get a picture of us because we were looking sharp!
Alright, that’s all I got. Here’s to a busy and productive week ahead!!
ps – I mailed out our Christmas cards last week and have some extra. If you don’t get one from us and would like to, leave a comment. I’ll be happy to spread some Christmas cheer to you!
A few things I’ve learned this week:
1. It’s a lot easier to throw a party when your mom comes in town to help you.
2. If you arrange skewers of tomato/mozzarella/basil on a round platter it kind of looks like a Christmas wreath.
3. This is the very best sugar cookie recipe ever. EVER.
4. It’s near impossible to make icing red using normal red food coloring.
5. Pink iced Christmas cookies taste just as good as red iced Christmas cookies.
6. Champagne and cranberry juice makes an easy and festive holiday cocktail.
7. If someone (mainly your 15 month old) smears melted candle wax all over your couch, you can get it out using an iron and a cloth diaper. Just put the diaper over the wax, hold the iron on it and the wax will absorb into the cloth. Genius.
8. 72 degree days in December are nice.
I wish I could round that out to an even 10 but that’s all I got. And you know what? 8 is great.
In other news, Maxwell can give kisses. Sometimes he acts like he’s European and kisses me on both cheeks. Kiss Kiss!
Please ignore my scrunched up face and focus on the cute baby kissing my cheek, thankyouverymuch.
Have a Holly Jolly weekend!!
