It was so nice to not have to get up and going everyday. Although Christmas break was different than usual....meaning we stayed home most of the time minus the girls rotating date nights with grandparents. There were a few days where Im not even sure if hair got done or teeth were brushed but we all survived. Liam is still learning and growing and has decided he loves to climb in the toy cupboard. He looks so cute and proud of himself. He has also started pulling the doors shut and playing peek-a-boo while in there.
Wherever the girls are is usually where he wants to be. It can make things a little difficult like with practicing piano. He seemed to also enjoy having the girls home. Gracie is especially patient with him and Im not sure who enjoys their play time more.
With us staying home we got plenty of time to play with our Christmas presents. Gracie got a cool new circuit maker. All of the girls seem to be enjoying it
There was also some resting that occurred why is it so cute when kids nap?
The girls built a fort a couple days and had read-a-thons with all their new books. I love that our girls love to read and Emmy seems to be following right in that same way
Matt and I even escaped for a date night(1st one since Liam's dx). The kids all did great for Joy and it was so nice to get out with just the two of us. I love this man more and more all the time. Im so glad he puts up with me.
Maddie moved about a block from one apartment to another so I took Hallie and we drove to Logan to help her move. I took Matt's truck and between Maddi, Nic, me, and the girls we got it all moved in one load. Afterwards we unpacked her and went to lunch. Before we came home we stopped and bought then installed a curtain rod. Its amazing all the skills Nic and I have picked up growing up and since we got married.
The older and more interactive Liam has gotten Hallie has started to be more interested and more willing to play with him.
Gracie decided she wanted a special song for her baptism so we practiced some over the break. Matt is so gifted with music and I really hope our kiddos get that talent.
It was a good Christmas break although I wish we would have gotten more snow the girls can't wait to go sledding and skiing. We were so grateful we got to be home and not in the hospital with our family split apart.
