Post Christmas 2017

We had a great week after Christmas - maybe except for the fighting.  But we had a low key week, where we played with our toys from Christmas, cleaned up our Christmas stuff, went out and enjoyed some time together as a family, and spent more time with cousins.

After Christmas since Taft got over his cold and was taking a break from teething, he was so sweet and happy and cuddly.  And Briz has loved trying to help take care of him.  She's changed his diapers a few times and puts him down for naps.  

We spent one day at Classic Fun Center.  It was very busy, but the kids had a blast. They brought their scooters and rode around one of the tracks.   Nick and I felt like we needed a shower after.

Taft kept himself entertained with a straw and water.  I've tried to get him to drink water out of an bottle and sippy cup, but no luck.  He wouldn't stop drinking it with a straw.

Although he wasn't teething, Taft continued to put everything in his mouth.

The girls tried out their bath gels, that turned the bath water into a jelly like substance. 

And they LOVED painting with their new easel.  I'm excited for them to use it more, but it might be even better in the summer when we can put it outside and I don't have to worry about the mess.

We went up to Midway to go sledding at Soldier Hollow.  It ended up being a really warm night so the sledding paths were icy, and after two runs, we got vouchers to come back another time.  Taft liked the snow for a few minutes.  And then decided he hated it.

The sledding was really fun and I was really proud of the girls for being so brave, cause they were really fast.  Briz went by herself both times.  And Wembley didn't complain or whine at all.  The first time, on the run with Nick, they almost flew off the other side of the mountain.  Luckily Nick was able to stop them in time.

For New Years, we went over to Bri and Ronells and had a blast eating a ton of food and playing games.
