We’re all sick this week, the result of several germs that invaded our house at the same time. But despite the fevers, runny noses and general malaise, spirits have been pretty upbeat. And we had a wonderful Christmas.
A cowboy hat for those days when he feels like adventuring.
Apparently, Santa can read toddler scribbles and Gideon got almost everything he asked for this year. We don’t want to encourage too many gifts during the holidays, and Gideon was overwhelmed as it was with the number of gifts he received from various people, but he was ridiculously excited to find actual presents under the Christmas tree and to discover that Santa had eaten the cookies and milk he left out the night before.
He’s since recovered from his excitement and managed to share his new toys with Audric and even with us once in a while. I think the holidays are his new best friend.
Meanwhile, Audric wasn’t impressed. But he did get a few new teddy bears and some clothes, including the most adorable hat ever made for babies. Ever.
So I think he’s okay with the fanfare. For now.
It was really nice to spend some quality time with my boys this year. Being the only girl in the house is sometimes kind of nice.
