The Week After Christmas!

I must admit, the week after Christmas this year was a bit of a bummer. I was as sick as I have been for awhile...I felt horrible for so many days. I'm not sure I was able to smell anything for 2 weeks and had such a bad cough, cold and head ache. Pierce was also on the outs. Add to that the fact that Mike has scheduled PTO all week, then ended up working SO SO SO much, even if it was from home (like 20 hours on December 26th). Kept trying to remind ourselves how grateful we are to have such a good job in this economy.

Now, all that being said, it was still a really great week and the boys had a blast with their new Wii games and new toys. If there was ever a week to be sick and busy this was a good one. We did manage to have some fun though.

We bowled and it was awesome. Pierce was a total crazy and obsessed with the singing Santa by the front door.

We had the best visitors ever! Family! It was so fun to see Mitch, Kelly and Maddy even if it was just for one day. We loved catching up and letting the babies play. It is always so great to see family.

Pierce has always loved Mitch.

Baby tubby time.

 We went sledding! It snowed a ton the day after Christmas. One day loved but we loved it anyway!

The boys with their apple juice slushies. It's a snow tradition.

We went to the Children's Museum and had a great time there.

 Pierce learned how to throw a fit on the ground. Luckily it hasn't happened much since.

 We cleaned up Christmas on the 26th. The whole downstairs was back to its usual self and I must admit, I felt a little scroogish but it felt so good!
