Well...we survived the holiday season! It was much calmer this year than in years past. December was a flurry of games for Scott to referee, Noah and Ryder trying to get outside as much as possible and Jenny going day by day! The daycare holiday party was postponed due to the weather and over half the kids were sick:( We then headed to Scott's side for Christmas! Brunch at the Scott's, naps at Nana Lisa and Papa Tom's...then presents! The kids were spoiled and had a riot. Watching the four of them play together was a hoot. They were definitely tired by the time we headed home. Christmas program at church was fun...Noah sang as loud as he could, "Away in the Manger" and Ryder stood up there with him. They were both little lambs and Noah was very protective of him...holding his hand, it was adorable. We had Christmas with my side on Christmas day. The kids had fun with all of the aunts and uncles. Cousin Camden was a source of entertainment for my kids! Lots of cute pictures. We did Christmas with my parents later that night. Our break was very low key...lots of time at home. We played outside quite a bit as well. I am barely fitting in my snowpants...and one day we when we were outside, Ryder was crying...I picked him up and realized he had LOST HIS BOOT! I made him walk outside without a boot:( Bad mommy! Other than that...lots of snowmen and snowballs. We had our ultrasound and Scott found out what we are having! Noah did great...Ryder was quite upset because he didn't understand what they were doing to Mommy!
I turned 31 and it was a very quiet night. A few friends and their kids came over. Everyone was gone by 8:30pm...ha...crazy night out when everyone is a parent:) Lucky to have people in our lives who are in the same spot and are not all about getting crazy. End of December/beginning of January started a bit rough with Scott losing a cousin in a car accident, his old wrestling coach and then my best friends grandma (who was a pseudo grandma to me). We then headed back to work. And then the sickness hit:( Between colds, the flu (all four of us got it...I ended up in the hospital for fluids) and colds again...we need this house to be aired out! Had our 24 week appointment and I gained weight despite the flu...so the doctor was happy. Crazy how fast things are moving!
