We spent a great holiday weekend in Vancouver with our families. From eating, playing Wii for hours, shopping at 4:45 am on Friday morning with my dad, watching movies and visiting with family, we had a great time. Thanks to both moms for a great feast!
Lexi eating her favorite dessert...Grammy's chocolate pie
Playing Chinese Checkers with Grandma
Lexi, Grammy and I made 4 new matching stockings to hang on our fireplace this year. Okay, reallly it was just Grammy that made them, Lexi and I were the support team. Thanks, Mom!
On our way back to Bellingham, we stopped in Olympia at the Sledge's new house to stay the night. We had a great visit and Lexi and Xander loved playing together. Here they are enjoying their dinner. The grown ups enjoyed a lovely meal after the kids were in bed!
On Monday night, we took Lexi to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time. She loved it and had a blast "playing" the games. Mom and dad also got to refresh our ski ball skills!
She rode this horse game for about 3 seconds before asking to get off.
Her new friend Chuck!
The latest news at our house is that Lexi dislocated her elbow yesterday while at daycare. After 3 hours in the doctor's office followed with another visit today, we think she is finally better. Ugh. What a painful thing to watch your child go through. She was quite sore all day today, we hope tomorrow is a better day.
This is before bed tonight. She insisted on wearing her hat backward while I brushed her teeth. Whatever makes a 2 year old happy completely depends on the moment!
Checking out the snow!
Mmmmmmmmm....
This is going to be sooooo yummy!
Hi Mom!
Our (growing) family!
Check out our new snow covered car in the back ground!
The sunrise from our deck a few mornings ago.
We were listening to Christmas music, Lexi came to me, held her hand out and said "Mommy, would you like to dance with me?" It was so sweet.
Helping with house cleaning. Somehow, I don't think her enthusiasm about chores will last forever!
One of my favorite times during the day is the time between when Lexi and I get home and Chris gets home. We usually snuggle and read together or watch a video. Such special bonding time. We felt silly this day.
Making cut out cookies "all by herself" with Grandma.
