Christmas #!!

Holy Guacamole. We're in the middle of our Christmas celebrations and I'm a little tired!  This week was more than a little hectic, but we made it through in one piece and I'm looking forward to a whole week off next week. I know that I'll have the kids and probably be organizing the numerous new toys, but at least I don't have to be on a schedule and we can try and sleep in. 

Charlie had her little Christmas program at her preschool this week. You can see the entire program below. She did not enjoy it and it's basically watching her stare you down for 15 minutes. We did enjoy a really nice lunch together afterwards and we are so blessed to have found this daycare 6 years ago with Luke. 

Wednesday night, we met Dillon's mom and step dad in Johnson City and dropped off Luke to spend a few days of his Christmas break with them! We ate at a great restaurant there and then headed back down the mountain, sans one Lucas. Thursday night was Dillon's work's Christmas dinner and my mom and dad offered to watch Charlie that night so we could have a date night out to the dinner! They enjoyed some time with little Charlie and Dillon and I got to eat a dinner without kids crawling all over us! 

Work was more than a little nuts for both me and Dillon this week and while we had both planned to take off on Friday, I had so much to get done that I went ahead and worked the first of that morning. Dillon picked up Charlie and we rushed to get everything done to head up to Virginia for Christmas with Dillon's family. It was a rainy, nasty drive, but once we got up there we really enjoyed spending time with everyone. We all enjoyed spending time together and laughed a lot and enjoyed staying up talking about everything. We were going to stay a little longer today, but it was still blustery and even snowy so we thought it might be best to come on back home. There was quite a bit of snow coming over the mountain, but the roads were clear so we were lucky. We're now gearing up for Christmas here in Asheville. Cookie baking tomorrow, Christmas Eve on Monday and Christmas spectacular on Tuesday! We're all excited to see what's coming and I'm looking forward to a nap on Tuesday afternoon.


Yeah... nope.  



My sweet mama was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis this week, which has been a real bummer. We were hoping that there would be a way to get this cough gone, but it looks like she may have it for a long time.  It's a bummer that she has a chronic disease, but I am thankful for a diagnoses so we can start to see if there can be some relief to help her feel better!






She wanted to stay and then she wanted to go and then she just had a meltdown about everything. I just love this age.  




























This is what it looks like when you go to bed at 1:30 and your kids wake you up at 6:30.



Dillon's ready to be a barista! 






When we went to see Kansas a month or so ago, Dillon and Russ got shirts. Debbie and I skipped them because they were kind of expensive. Russ surprised us each with concert shirts from that night! 





LEGOS! This kept him entertained forever. Which is good (he has two BIG sets under the tree this year!)
