Our Christmas

Christmas was a little different this year. Katie's mom, who usually hosts Christmas Eve, moved to California last summer, and Katie's brothers were out of town as well, so we just had a small family dinner with Katie's other family.
And apparently this is the only picture I took all night...haha.

When we got home, we got some milk and cookies ready for Santa (vegan cookies of course) and Fox was really into it this year.

We sprinkled some reindeer food outside, read the Night before Christmas and both boys were fast asleep within minutes.

Airplane the Elf made sure to say goodbye to Fox before he flew off to the North Pole for another year.

Fox asked Santa for a guitar and microphone and Santa delivered.

He was so excited!

For weeks, he told us that he wanted this Polly Pocket toy that he had seen on a commercial. He would not stop talking about it, so we got it for him. He played with it for 20 minutes and it's been sitting untouched in the playroom ever since. Go figure. Last year, he really wanted a Paw Patrol lookout tower, which he didn't play with at all after Christmas, so I sold it. The minute it was gone, he kept asking for it again and even wanted to put it on his wish list this year. Is that just my kid or do other kids do this kind of stuff too?

I love this picture, just me and my best boys.

Around 10am, Katie's family came over and we all had breakfast together.


Oh to be a kid again on Christmas morning!

See Ashlie posing in the background because she thought she was in my picture...ha!


After lunch everyone left and the rest of the day was spent playing with Fox's new toys! I think he had a great day!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
