Let the Christmas countdown begin!

One of his many turkeys they made at preschool.
So today was Isaac's last day of preschool till the New Year and I am excited to have him home in the mornings for a few days. I love morning school to get us up and out of the house and to make me get out of my pj's and the day started. This next week I have a goal to be at the gym everyday at 9am. I have a few more pounds to attempt to lose before Janel's wedding on New Years Eve!
I have the kids Christmas shopping done and several family members but it is really hard buying everything in WA to pack it in our carry-on's to get it to UT for Christmas. See I just need to move back and that would make life so much easier!



We have had several good snowstorms the past couple of months and I took Isaac sledding one day. He was so excited to get all in his snow gear and after 6 or 7 times down the hill he was done. Oh well I made him push me down the hill a couple of times to drag it out a little bit longer. He had a fun time though.
Poor Sarah has had a rough go with ear infections lately. We are on our second dose of antibiotics right now and so we will see if she gets better. I knew her ear infections were back when she started waking up in the night again. I am loving that she is sleeping through the night when she feels good! It is amazing how much better mommy feels too when she gets a whole night's sleep.
Last weekend we went to a luminaria at the arboretum and had a nice time. It was a mile walk outside and then the kids were able to go inside and decorate their own bag at the end.

We had enjoyed 2 Christmas parties for the hospitals that Gary works at and I have enjoyed getting dressed up. It is fun to put on nice clothes every now and then.
I am really looking forward to Santa's arrival this year. Isaac is so excited and he has a countdown calendar in his room that he changes every morning. This is such a fun age and the miracle of Christmas.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
