Monday, December 13- We are so excited that Kendra is getting surprised with a new iPhone 13 for Christmas! She is going to freak out!! :)
Tuesday, December 14 - Happy 1st birthday to our sweet Olivia girl! We went to Livy's house for her party and it was a blast!! We had dinner together, watched her eat this adorable cake, and then she opened presents. We are so thankful to have her in our family! We were sad that Gary & Alexis couldn't be with us tonight. They are in the hospital trying to keep Alexis pregnant for longer. She is only 24 weeks along and baby is threatening to come early. Many prayers going out on their behalf!
Wednesday, December 15 - We woke up to several inches of beautiful clean snow...and a virtual learning day for the kids! :) Simon just happened to have the day off so he took Zack, Ricki, and Zack's friend Jax to the park to sled. They had such a blast! Also, we got a sweet video from Gary & Alexis today. One of their nurses did an in-hospital gender reveal for them. "Little Nugget" is a HE! We are so excited to have another little guy in our family!
Thursday, December 16 - Ricki was awarded the Leader of the Month for her class today! I was so excited to be able to go to see her get her award, read the sweet note from her teacher, and sit with her while she got a special kid's meal lunch from McDonald's. I'm so proud of this girl and her leadership skills. She is a really good friend and looks for others that she can play with and help feel included. She's just a really great person and I'm happy she was able to receive this award!
Friday, December 17 - Baby Brooks Levi Pearson entered this world way too early (25 weeks) around 5:45 this morning. He weighed in at a whopping 1 lb 13 oz. He is doing pretty well, as far as one pound babies go, and he's fighting to stay alive. Alexis is doing well from the delivery. Sweet Finley stayed the night with us tonight. She was an absolute joy to have! She is sweet and kind and loves to play with Ricki! She got sad once, wanting her mom and to go see her brother, but we snuggled for a while and she was fine. She's a strong girl and I pray that Brooks brings nothing but joy to their family. They deserve it more than anyone I know!
Saturday, December 18 - We had to cut our day short with Finn so we let them stay in their jammies and play as long as we could. We dropped her off at Dave and Viv's on our way to meet my family for lunch. Today is Jim's birthday so we all went to Chili's together. After lunch, Mom & Dad, Grandma Sharon, and our family went to see the final performance of "The Forgotten Carols". It was as magical as ever and we all enjoyed it very much.
Sunday, December 19 - We got to celebrate Grandpa Jim's birthday tonight. We had meatloaf for dinner (a rare treat for me because I'm the only one in my family that will eat it) and then had cake and ice cream. He got a lot of nice gifts for his big day. I love that we get to celebrate everyone's birthdays together. I just wish Kenny, Katie, and their family could be here. Happy Birthday Grandpa Jim!
