This week has been so busy but somewhat productive. Jeff finished up the lights outside late Monday afternoon after working almost all day on Sunday. I helped a little but I mostly tried to keep two little ones happy all day which was more challenging that usual because of Keegan's ear infections. I think we are done but Jeff really wants to decorate the front tree. He always does such a great job and Ava absolutely loves it!
Ava's stocking was delivered on Tuesday. She was so excited that her name is on it and the ballerina 'has brown hair like hers' but she is keeping her distance from it. Last week she tried to pull Keegan's down to look at it and the stocking holder came along with it, nailing her right in the middle of her forehead. By the grace of God it was merely a bump and a nasty bruise. It could have been so much worse! It shook her up pretty badly.
And this little guy got his first tooth this week! I found it right before I took him back to the doctor on Wednesday. His nose was running all day and he was so congested at night. I guess we can blame teething on this little guy's rough week.
He seems so big all of a sudden! I looked across the kitchen while doing the dishes Tuesday night and watched him play on Ava's kitchen like such a big boy. I've had a few tears lately realizing that my baby is not going to be a baby much longer.
Last night we went to our neighborhood Christmas tree lighting festivities. It's always such a fun time. We stood in line to see Santa first.
All day long Ava asked when we were going to see Santa. The whole time we were waiting in line she told us everything she was going to ask Santa for and everything she was going to ask him to bring Keegan since he can't talk yet. So sweet!
But as you can see she didn't ask for a thing. Not even a candy cane would calm her in the old man's lap. And I think Keegan liked him about as much as she did! We decided this morning to just write Santa a letter this year.
The carriage ride was a lot more fun for everyone. It started raining while we were in the petting zoo so we headed home a little early to watch the Grinch for the fourth time already this season :-)
