Today was a great
day! Christian had to work all day, so he was busy with that. YAY for the OT!
The girls and I had
breakfast, hung out for a bit and got ready for the day. Today I was off to
take a family picture with my cousins on my dad’s side…we took one 10 or 11
years ago as a gift to our grandparents. My grandpa has mentioned lately he’d
really like an updated one – so, my oldest cousin organized everything and got
us set up to take it today. We’re all scattered around the cities, but lucky
for me, I’m fairly central so it ended up being close to home. YAY! We took our
picture, which turned out SUPER cute and I can’t wait to give it to our grandparents,
and then my aunt treated us all to pizza for lunch. So our loud, rowdy group
gathered at a local pizza place and hung out for a bit. It was actually really
nice to sit around the table, laughing and joking and catching up with each
other. I wish it could happen more often.
After lunch, we
headed home and the girls went down for their nap, and Christian actually
arrived home at the same time. We did some cleaning and picking up around the
house, Christian ran to bring the vacuum cleaner back to his parents and ran to
the grocery store quick and we hung out for a while. Then, onto the next family
adventure…
My dad and stepmom
stopped over to spend the evening with us. My dad’s birthday was on Thursday,
and their (28th!) anniversary was yesterday, so we had them over for
pizza (yes, again) and some time to catch up. The girls had a lot of fun
showing them around and showing off for them, and I know that since we don’t
get the chance to see them often, they really enjoyed their time with the
girls. My stepmom had a little Christmas craft for the girls, which they loved.
Once they headed
out, the girls were off to bed, and we settled in to watch some Dexter.
Christian’s friend stopped over for a bit – but I couldn’t hang. Off to bed I
went! What a great day!

And, this was really cute. We still have all the girls' little chairs from the basement upstairs from Thanksgiving. They gathered all of them up, put them around the table, and set up all of their stuffed animals to have a "pizza party" of their own. They've never really played "pretend" to that extent before, so it was really cute to see.
