Christmas 2014

 This was the first year, Katie and I hosted Christmas at our house. Katie has three families, so it's impossible to get everyone together, but we managed to get two out of the three over on Christmas Eve.
We had Christmas Eve off, so we started our day by going to church, just us three, before everyone came over. 
Here's Mr. Fox, looking all cute, as usual! Love this kid!

 

 

 

 

 

Our fireplace literally got finished a few days before Christmas, so we still have to figure out how to decorate it for the coming years, but it made me so happy to finally see our stockings up.
 

 
Katie's sister Ashlie, her boyfriend Brad and Fox.

This cracker was Fox's Christmas dinner (along with some Breastmilk)...haha. This boy does not like food, the only thing he voluntarily puts in his mouth are these crackers and bananas. We're still trying and I hope it will get better soon. 

 

 

 

 

 


 
Aunt Ashlie read "The Night before Christmas" to Fox before bedtime. 

 
We really love our neighborhood! One of the reasons we love it, is that some of our neighbors put up luminaries around the entire neighborhood, in front of every single house, along every single street, on Christmas Eve.The entire block is lit up with these and it looks so pretty!

 
Fox was already asleep when we took this picture.

 

 
We literally ate dinner at 11pm that night, because the prime rib took so dang long. Everyone was exhausted!

 After everyone left, Fox woke up and was wide awake, so we took him out in the living room and snapped some selfies in front of the tree. He was so sweet and cuddly and went right back to sleep after a few minutes up.

 
Christmas morning started with a family breakfast and Santa pancakes. 

 

 
Brett was too tired to open presents...ha!

 

 
It seemed like Fox really loved all the presents he received from his grandparents. Katie and I decided not to get him anything this year, because frankly, the kid has everything he needs and more and we knew, that between four sets of grandparents, plus great grandparents, he would be spoiled rotten. 

 
He was so excited to rip all the wrapping paper. 

 

 
Obviously, everything underwent a taste test first. 

 

 

 

 

 Best stocking stuffer ever!

We hope you all had a great Christmas as well!

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...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
