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...

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 ...
