Thanksgiving, Chuck E. Cheese and a Dislocated Elbow

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!

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!
