We celebrated a wonderful early Christmas present this weekend - Mike came home! We had grand plans for welcoming him home in a spectacular way. Saturday we made our welcome home poster, we had plans to meet at Burger King with a play area and let kiddos run around and play. I had pants for the boys to wear there, their fleece lined jeans to change into, we'd grab lunch for them so they could eat on the way. All was going well, the kids had a ball running around and playing, Alexis and I didn't think the morning was going quick enough...boys were getting changed into warm clothes and bundled up and phones were ringing. Yeah phones were ringing, the guys were home, they were there and we were still at Burger King cause it was early, much earlier than expected. So Mike met us outside and hopped in the truck. He did not care, he was just glad to be home but I felt disappointed that the boys didn't get to run/walk up and grab him by the legs and never let go and that he didn't get to see their poster until we got home. Still - what mattered was that he was home and just in time for Christmas! So of course there aren't a ton of pictures - but we did take some at Burger King and once home.
Tonight we celebrated Josh's birthday, again. We made cookies (Josh didn't seem super excited with his cupcake on his actual birthday but is quite the cookie monster). We were making sugar cookies (Nee-nee's recipe and they were DELICIOUS!) and made some in dinosaur shapes just for Josh's birthday. We let Josh open his presents from the grandparents - he kind of got it, the opening part of it that is. The other news though is that Josh is kicking the soccer ball around, I think the first time was an accident but he quickly did it again and then later more and more. He was kicking it around the kitchen and dining room before we had our birthday cookies. We're having a very laid back week and enjoying time with Mike again as we get ready for Christmas - hope you are all well!
