So thankful Adaline is feeling better so we can enjoy Christmas break! We went swimming today at the aquatic center!

Feeling better every day!

 opening Christmas gifts! Adaline is still under the weather. She loved all her gifts but just seems a bit sluggish yet. They all are enjoying playing with their new things!

 we decorated cookies last weekend before we caught the flu bug

 we celebrated jacks 9th birthday on the 19th and had more cake on the 21st!

She had about 5.5 hours of nap time today but she’s finally eating something tonight 

First day of Christmas break and Pidge has the flu.

These two had holiday dress up days all week! Today is festive hat day!

Adaline was helping dad pack his lunch today for work. This is what she picked for him. Dad was pretty bummed he had to put the beer back but she was super helpful getting the fizzy water instead

Friday was a snow day!

Whiskey is more than twice her size but he’s being pretty gentle playing tug 

Practicing board breaks. Jack was trying to teach sister too!

Adaline decided she didn’t want to participate in the Christmas dance recital this year but she was so excited they let her try a costume on with the other girls tonight at class.

These two were not thrilled to get flu shots this last weekend

Ms. Adaline had her first ever play date at our house this afternoon. She was so excited all morning and couldn’t wait for her friend to show up. This is a picture of her telling me she can’t wait for them to get here!

Mr. Elf got their things ready to write a letter to Santa this morning.

Thankful for this lovely bunch of coconuts!

Getting the tree set up today!

Jack broke his first boards today! An elbow strike and a toe kick

She’s making dinner. Dad helped.

Little dude has a perforated eardrum and he still earned his brown belt today. He’s amazing 

Dad took the kids to Lowe’s and sends mom this. Needless to say, she came home with it.

Watching the first snow

Adaline’s class made Thank you veterans pictures at school and she got to bring them home for dad. She was so excited to show him! Dad was equally excited to bring them to work and share with his fellow Marines. They took a picture to share with her class.
