Slow Week

December 11-We got at least a foot of snow from a recent storm. One of our neighbors was super nice and shoveled our driveway for us. Char is still fighting his illness and is very exhausted from the lack of sleep due to the constant coughing. 

December 14-Language therapy or physical therapy today, both therapist had strep today and didn't want to spread it to the babies. Anastasia got weighed and is now 14 pounds, 15 ounces. Slowly making progress.

 December 17-Heidi got to go ride on the Polar Express with; Grandma, Grandpa, Cousin A and Cousin H. This is probably the last year they'll ride the Polar Express because they're getting older. 

 The morning started off with a special breakfast of French toast. (I know, the crust looks like onion rings at first sight.)

They had fun riding on a train. Taking in the winter scenery. 

All the kids received jingle bells. They sang Christmas Carols and drank hot chocolate. 

Finally, they got to see Santa and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. 

Finally, Heidi got to spend the night at grandma's. 

Not much happened on the home front that day. I did start watching "The Man in the High Castle," I'm betting the book is much better. I'll have to put that on my wish list. 

December 18-Today we went down to Grandma's house to celebrate Aunt L's birthday. It was fun to see everybody. Heidi Anne decided to spend the rest of the week at Grandma's house. 

Anastasia had a ball rolling all over the place. I could hardly get a picture of her because she was moving around so much. Rory had fun exploring with Cousin G. Around 5:00 pm everybody else come to grandma's house. Aunt S made a great triple caramel chocolate cake. I should have gotten a picture.
