Santa's Visit



Grammie Bonnie come out for a visit over Thanksgiving. We had a great visit with her and even sent her home with the cold that we all have had. Your Welcome Grammie! The visit was nice and low key along with our Thanksgiving. We took it easy and just spent time playing with the girls, that was really nice. As always the trip went by really fast and she was on a plane headed home before we even knew it.
The following week and weekend were extremely busy for all of us. Paige got sick and spent most of the week at home. By the weekend she was feeling better so we all went to the MEU Christmas party to see Santa. That was crazy. I greatly appreciate them having the party for us but don't think that I would ever go to a big holiday party like that again. We were in line to see Santa for over an hour. As you can see Izzy didn't like visiting with Santa. She was tried and it was her naptime. She was also not feeling well but I didn't know that just yet. As you can see Paige really enjoyed seeing Santa. She was on his lap for awhile telling him everything she could think of besides what she wanted. Both of the girls were given gifts that they opened, Izzy got some stacking blocks and Paige got a Bratz Horse. Paige proudly announced that that was what she had always wanted and was really excited. On our way home Izzy got sick in the car and that started another week of the girls being sick. So so far the month of Dec has not treated us very well. As of right now both girls are doing better and I am feeling better too. So cross your fingers that we are sick free from her on out, because we are leaving in a few days to drive to Arkansas to spent Christmas with my parents. It will be a lot of fun just the drive out is going to really suck! We'll get through it and it will be a great visit. I will also be getting away for a few days to see some great friends in TX. That will definitely be my reward for making in through the last couple of weeks without having a breakdown.
Well these last 2 pictures are of the girls being silly. I really love that picture in the tub because they were just having so much fun that day playing and it also shows of Izzy's big cheesy smile that she does now for pictures. She is so her Daddy. I swear every day she is more and more like him. She has his temper which she showed me the other day when she was playing by herself and got mad at the toy yelled and threw it. After that I could tell she felt better because she started playing again because that toy was no longer there to bother her. The funny thing is that I have seen Mike do the same exact thing too. The last picture was when Paige was at school. Izzy decided to try on her hat. She was just too cute for me not to get the camera. I am not sure what she is doing with her arms but she does look cute you would have to admit.
Well we hope that you are all doing well. We won't be posting anything else until we get back so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. We love you and stay safe! See you next year.
