Christmas


For Christmas this year, I got.....the flu. So did The Man, the Girl, and the Boy. But I definitely got it worse than those three. As a result of the plague running through our house, our Christmas pictures are limited. Luckily for me, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and sister-in-law were here to cook meals, clean my house, and take care of the kids. I don't know what I would have done without them. So here is our Christmas in short:
 
I made a ton of these so the Boy could have his gingerbread man party at school.
 
 
 
Many of our lovely neighbors came caroling.
 

 We opened stockings on Christmas Eve and the Boy just couldn't take his new headlamp off - even to sleep.

 

I got all of 5 pictures on Christmas morning.  I couldn't even manage to focus when snapping the Girl with her new dollhouse.  I had to take a picture of the Boy on his new scooter days later. 

My in-laws made a wonderful prime rib dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus.  I managed to take about five bites.  It was a sad, sad time.  I didn't even get a picture of the gorgeous meal. 

Here's looking forward to a New Year without the flu.

Basketball


The Boy started basketball last week - a game full of 5 year olds is a little chaotic and cute. He is number 2.  He took the ball halfway down the court and promptly passed it off. That's the most he touched the ball during this game.

 
The Boy was more interested in coaching than playing.  He even gave advice to the other team.
