day three hundred sixty-two.



Singing in the sunset. Thanks Frozen :)

361/365

day three hundred sixty-one.

Girl's lunch and movie date.

They loved Frozen! Ellie won't stop singing and trying to turn stuff into ice :)

360/365

day three hundred sixty.

She loves it when she gets to run errands with just me. "girl's date" even if it was just to the com and back.

359/365

day three hundred fifty-nine.

Today we did Christmas at Nana and Poppy's.

Give this kid a(nother set to his) zoo and he's happy.  Everyone else is a little too serious.

358/365

day three hundred fifty-eight.

Owen was a little possessive of his "zoo".

357/365

day three hundred fifty-seven.

Not how I wanted to spend my Christmas Eve Eve. I don't think I caught Owen's germs, just a stupid migraine to ruin the day. So much for being with family.

356/365

day three hundred fifty-six.

Not a very Merry Christmas Eve Eve here. Owen woke up not long after going to bed, throwing up. A Dumbo marathon and snuggling with Daddy seemed to fix it. Hoping it doesn't pass on to anyone else!

355/365

day three hundred fifty-five.

More here. Who doesn't love gingerbread cookies? 

354/365

day three hundred fifty-four.

Still recovering from evil germs. At least it was short lived.

353/365

day three hundred fifty-three.

Ellie's Christmas program at school. Gavin took his job as videographer seriously.

Ellie and her bestie, Lily.

352/365

day three hundred fifty-two.

Why? Sums it up for the dogs here.

351/365

day three hundred fifty-one.

It wasn't so hard to find a chicken ornament after all! Thank you Etsy! Ellie is in love! Sadly, the happiness this day was short lived.

 Since shortly after I took these pictures, Ellie came up to me and said, "Ummm I just swallowed a light bulb from the Christmas tree". FIVE hours, some X-rays and a bit of whining later, we found that lightbulbs will pass on their own and since no wires were sticking out (it was missing that part), we were good to go. 

Chicken came in handy while waiting though.

350/365

day three hundred fifty.

349/365

day three hundred forty-nine.

Today is Mom's birthday. Gavin was a bit upset there wasn't any cake "Birthdays aren't real without cake". Poppy said it was because there would've been too many candles ;)  Happiest of birthdays mom. I never realized how hard your job was till being a mama myself. I'm eternally grateful for all you (and dad) have done for me in my life. And I'm still sorry for that year I was 13, I know my payback is coming!!!

by the light of his flashlight.

day three hundred forty-six.

all shy and quiet till her bff shows up.

344/365

day three hundred forty-four.

Catching up on some math....the joys of homeschool in your pajamas.

343/365

day three hundred forty-three.

Chicken is getting back into the Christmas spirit after the horrible turn of events last week. And now I'm on the lookout for a chicken ornament. Ellie insists we have one for her yearly ornament...and I'm not having any luck finding one!

342/365

day three hundred forty-two.

Full post (eventually) on family blog. But I'm a bit behind blogging while I finish a huge project!!

341/365

day three hundred forty-one.

Everyone was a little suspicious of Santa this year.

340/365

day three hundred and forty.

Christmas party! I broke out the hot rollers for the first time in...years. And Gavin made sure to tell me that my eye makeup was "scary". At least Ellie and Owen made up for it by telling me I looked like a princess.

339/365

day three hundred thirty-nine.

sigh. the emptier phase.
