Christmas 2017

I am very behind on this post but needless to say, Christmas was amazing! We had a great day full of snow and excitement. Its been a long time since we have seen a white Christmas like this and it did not disappoint. Christmas morning we headed over to the Knowles house and had a blast playing in the snow, opening presents, and enjoying our new games. Afterwards, we headed to the cabin to lay low and enjoy the Grahams. All in all, it was perfect family time. 

These pictures seemed to pop up in no particular order....

Gingerbread houses

The Knowles cookie day was a success! More cookies than we could ever ask for.




Christmas day with all the cousins

The kiddos had some fun in the snow at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Some lasted longer than others but they all tried at least one run on the sled (except I think Maya stuck with the snowballs)




Grandpa was not feeling 100%, so Bennett got to carry on the tradition of handing out the gifts under the tree. He added his own camo twist to it. 

Christmas morning at our house



We headed up to the cabin the day after Christmas. We had promised the kids that there would be snow there.....there wasn't so we got to spend the day driving up to the mountains. We didn't stop until we found snow.




LOVE this one!



They had fun!

Anytime is the perfect time for a cartwheel. 



Christmas with the Grahams

After Christmas, we met up with some friends at a new gym around us. Trampolines, foam pits, obstacle courses, and so much more. You'd think the kiddos died and went to heaven.
They loved this rock climbing wall. If you fell, you just landed in a giant foam pit. 

I didn't get many of Callie, she pretty much didn't stop moving.

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Another Plane Ride

So, Callie and I spent my spring break in Pennsylvania. It was a wonderful trip and Callie just LOVED being spoiled by all her aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandmas! (she was a bit in shock when we came back home and she was stuck with just mom and dad - she also took a two hour nap the day we got back, which she has never, never (and probably never will again) done, traveling sure is exhausting!). I was a bit nervous about the very long plane ride, but besides not eating at all, Callie did fabulous! Although, she never really did understand why she couldn't grab the people sitting next to us or in front of us. Even though she got sick on the way back, she was still a wonderful traveler. She loved sitting with Grandma and looking out the plane window (yuck!). We met Grandma in Chicago - at that point in time both Grandma and Callie needed a snuggle, so they spent part of our layover cuddling up in the airport. (sorry, I took these with my cell phone) Looking out the ...

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
