High Five for Friday!

It's Friday!!  I'm so excited that it's Friday, and even more excited that my Christmas break will truly start tomorrow.  I can't wait to spend some time with my husband and Drew.  Vacations and breaks are the best! 

It was a fun, but extremely busy week for us.  We had dinners and parties galore!  We got to spend some time with great friends and family, so that made the week even better.  Here are some highlights:

1. Drew has learned some new tricks, and he's keeping me laughing along the way.  He's become a master tongue clicker and he can move around the house like it's nothing, so baby-proofing is in my near future.  One of the most exciting things he got figured out this week is using his sippy cup.  In the past, he’s struggled to understand how the cup works, but for some reason, this week, he had it down.  It's so fun watching him learn and grow.  He's just the best!

2. We had dinner with friends on Wednesday night, and then met up with another friend who was in from out of town for drinks afterwards.  It was great to catch up with them all, and we enjoyed good conversation, good food, and good drinks.

 

3. It's feeling pretty Christmas-y around our house, and I've been loving it.  We watched the Voice finale and enjoyed some hot chocolate!  We're getting in the spirit!

 

4. Doug's office Christmas party was last night.  We had Doug's brother and sister-in-law watch Drew while we attended the dinner.  It was a fun night out, but we always miss Drew when he's not around.  Before the party, Doug had to quickly snowblow, and since our snowblower is still not fixed, our wonderful neighbors let us borrow theirs again.  We truly have the nicest neighbors, which just so happens to be another great thing about our new house.  We took them a plate full of Christmas goodies to thank them.  I think their four kids were pretty excited!

5. Drew has been my little buddy this week.  I've drug him along on some pretty boring errands, and he's been such a trooper.  We wrapped a million presents (ok, maybe not a million, but it felt like it), went Christmas shopping, did laundry, and many other not so fun activities, and he hung in there like a champ.  He's such a good little guy!

 

Like I mentioned yesterday, Christmas break starts for us tomorrow!  I'm so excited.  Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that you get some time off to enjoy the holidays!
