I think most would agree that the week between Christmas and New Year's is pure bliss. The kids are out of school, there aren't any crazy deadlines, there is time off from work (or at least a less-stressful work week), yummy leftover food and cookies... the list goes on. Our week was pretty busy, but it was all fun stuff!
Colin lost his very first tooth while Danny's family was visiting. I'm pretty sure Papaw and Great- Grandpa gave him more money than the Tooth Fairy!
So excited!
The next morning...
Poppa got a sweet pool table/air hockey table for all of his years of service with Trugreen. We had a lot of fun playing on it!
That weekend, Cadence had her first cheer practice...
and Colin had his first basketball practice.
Colin was already being a leader.
They both had a lot of fun and learned so much at their first practice! While Colin was at his practice with Danny, Cadence and I played with the science kit she got for Christmas. It was cool watching the chemical reactions.
We finally converted Colin's toddler bed to a full-size bed. He never complained about the smaller bed, but he was just about too big for it. He loves his new bed.
It was warm enough one day to take a walk down the street with Scarlet. The cows were out on the property nearby and they followed us as we walked down the street! They came right up to the gate and one was practically licking Scarlet's head!
Colin got lots of LEGOs for Christmas
On New Year's Eve, we played Pictionary...
and Googly Eyes!
We had a great night! The grown ups stayed up to ring in the New Year, but the kids went to bed around 10:30. I think they would've lasted until midnight, but I had serious doubts that they would sleep in the next day. Oh, and no post is complete without a Scarlet picture - here she is sporting her new collar from Santa. 😀
