Remember when you were in elementary school and you had to recap your vacation? Chris took off the week of Christmas and New Years and I had grandiose plans for how we might spend the two weeks as a family.
But as they say, "the best laid plans…"
The week of Christmas was a wash because Maddie-cakes came down with flu-monia (flu+pneumonia) so we spent way more time in the doctor's than we would have preferred.
At the tail end, much happier now! (Three visits in one week…no, thank you.)
With Maddie sick, we had to do our best to keep Sydney away. She ONLY wanted her sister.
But, a spin on this bad boy at Walmart made her pretty happy too.
Maddie eating pineapple at 2 am. Yes. Pineapple at 2 am. She woke up and said she would eat. She hadn't eaten anything in DAYS so I was happy to please.
After a crazy exhausting week, we snuck out and celebrated daddy's birthday! Chris and I had a wonderful dinner at Mussel and Burger Bar. YUM.
In his spare time, Chris worked on Maddie's new furniture.
He also watched the monkeys a few days because I was still working. I was in my office one day and heard some commotion. I step out of my office and see this.
HAHA!
Sydney got a new seat and loves sitting at the table with us - no high chair anymore!
Sydney made us laugh every day.
I love her face here. (FYI--she's missing the bottom half of her cheer outfit here. We took it off for nap time.)
Once Maddie was on the mend, the girls had a blast with all of their new toys!
They love this dish set and have been having tea parties.
Notice they are both eating a cupcake. So funny.
Then, they like to wash their dishes at the sink.
They've been loving this mailbox and latch puzzle too.
Sydney thinks her pig is hilarious.
And loves ALL little people!
Maddie got a Frozen umbrella and insists on bringing it EVERYWHERE. Nope, it's not raining here. But she says, "Let's PRETEND like it's raining." We get some stares but mainly laughs.
Stella wasn't left out- she loved her Christmas treats!
New year, new workout resolutions, right? I've been drinking green smoothies for breakfast and really do love them!
We so enjoyed daddy being home with us these last two weeks.
