...All snug on the floor.
With the remodel to our home, the kids would have to walk right by the presents under the tree to wake us up Christmas morning, so we decided to have them nest on the floor in our bedroom.
"Nesting" is something our kids enjoy. We build them a nest once in a while and allow them to sleep in our room. I keep waiting for Sydney to opt out of the nest (13 now), but she still loves it.
Our girls were in a Christmas program tonight. Patty and I took on the project of three poodle skirts last week. We had some good laughs and learned a few things. Our ladies were cute and sassy.
We hosted this year, and I have to say I am thankful for so many things, but this year, I was most thankful for new carpet. When you see the pictures, you will know why.
Indian leg wrestling is a tradition in the Lemmon family.
We wanted to see Maggie turn three. Feeling very adventurous, we joined the fun very last minute. I'm so so glad we did.
Bobby keeps threatening to tear the playhouse down. I assure him it's being used during the day. He says it's worthless and just takes up space. I say it's a part of our familiy's history. He says it's hideous. I say we have so many memories that include the bright blue, imagination station.
The proof is in the picture, right?
We try to read our scriptures, hold family prayer, and attempt family home evenings.
Here is how tonight looked:
We tagged along with Chris and Edna to San Diego last weekend. Pictured below you will see the two major highlights of our two night get away.
Last week I was making dinner and heard Mallory screaming. I ran to the garage and found Bobby's toolbox had fallen, and Tiny was under it. He could not be seen. I tried to lift the box (about 300+ pounds), but I was just able to lift it enough to see my baby was actually there. I screamed and screamed for help. Bob was inside napping, and he finally heard me and came running. He lifted, and I pulled. Mallory kept screaming.
My babe was pretty out of it, beat up, sweaty, and had thrown up what looked like several times. We took him to the ER. He had a CT scan of his head, neck, and body. Everything looked okay, but they admitted him to pediatrics to keep their eye on him. Dr. Rathle happened to be there checking on another patient and after examining Tiny and talking with us, we decided to take our boy home.
We are so fortunate he walked away from this.
If you have this type of toolbox you should bolt it to the wall somehow or separate the two pieces.
Katie and I were able to go visit Joan in Pittsburgh last week. She went up four days before me, and I met up with them from Wednesday to Monday. We had a good time. I had hurt my back, so I was a little bit of an old lady. Sorry, ladies.
Kelly was unable to join us this go round. We hope our next trip will find all of us together (maybe even Z and Adri!).
