December 2013

All of a sudden the month of December has come and gone! What a whirlwind. Here's a quick recap.

• My birthday: the boys spoiled me with gifts, we had a great crab dinner, and they showered me with extra hugs and kisses. 
• Annual Adult Christmas Dinner: we had a fantastic night out with our friends for our annual adult only Christmas dinner (Jess/Jerry, Jon/Shannon, Pete/Amy). All I can say is recovering from a late night gets harder each year. We need to start our celebrations at noon to be in bed at a decent hour.
• Emily's visit: Em and I had a couple days to shop, chit-chat, and hang out before the boys were out of school and my parents came. We took Miller to the science museum where he saw his first Imax film. He had a good time and so did we.
• Shrimp Boil: we had the Malecha's over to enjoy a shrimp boil with my sister and parents. The kids are finally at an age where we don't have to hover. Everyone had a good time and the food was yummy. (notice a theme here?!?)
• Christmas: we celebrated everything a day early since Em had to leave on Xmas Eve. The boys were fantastic on Monday. They opened a few gifts throughout the day, took turns, were nice, and for them, low key. Tuesday, they were a pain coming off of their Monday gift hangover. LOL!

Miller read a book to Mason the night before Miller headed to my parents for his first time away at their house without us. It was so cute. Mason was trying to "sound" out the words with Miller.

Mason has been enjoying some one on one time with Ryan and I. I think he misses Miller at times. They facetimed the other night and were goofballs.

The next update will include a recap of Miller's trip and New Year's Eve/Day.
