Grateful for Time With My Men

on January 14, 2014 in Family, Grateful For, Noah

Pretty soon we’ll even up the male vs. female teams around these parts, but before we do, I’m really glad we had a good Christmas break to enjoy being just the three of us. Randy was off of work for most of the time between Christmas and New Years so we did a lot of fun, quiet stuff.

Here are some highlights.

corgi in the snow — One of us shoveled. Another stayed inside. Another liked playing in the snow (and with his dad…)

corgi in the snow — No really… He REALLY likes the snow.

Prepping Holiday turkey — We brined a turkey and made a full Christmas dinner for 6.

Christmas dinner 2013 — And then enjoyed it with fancy china on Christmas. And as leftovers FOREVER after that.

Cranberry French Toast — We slept in every morning and enjoyed a hot breakfast more mornings than not.
I made an amazing French Toast casserole for Christmas day.

The Perfect Omelette — Randy made THE BEST omelette of my life on New Year’s Day. No one can make an egg as fluffy as he can!

Corgi in the kitchen — Noah seemed pretty stoked to have us both around. The company is great, but the potential for more dropped food is too good to be missed!

Working on homemade curtains — We worked on projects for Eggroll’s room and other spaces around the house.

Christmas presents — We played with our new presents.

Corgi Napping — And took a lot of naps.

Heaven - chocolate, a book and a bath — I plowed through a bunch of “for fun” reading and took more baths than recommended. I swear I’m part fish!

34 weeks pregnant — We went to a friend’s house for New Year’s Eve, but came home before midnight to celebrate as just us.
And to take the obligatory weekly pic. Here’s 34 weeks pregnant.

Yoda — I know this isn’t a great picture, but doesn’t Noah look like a tap-dancing Yoda??

It was a perfect several days together. Seriously, I don’t know how I got so lucky…
