This and That

1. It was a BUSY Christmas. We had a lot going on, but it was so fun!! I was telling Anton this morning that this is the first year that I am kind of sad that the holidays are over, and we have to get back to the usual grind. That's saying something since me and the girls do so much better on a routine (which goes right out the door over the holidays).
2. Anton gave me the very best Christmas yet. I couldn't believe how thoughtful and sweet he was to me this Christmas. I absolutely adore him.
3. Lilly and Claire both got sick over the holiday. Claire started off with Croup, and after a couple days was not improving so finally I took her to the doctor and she had ear infections, her oxygen was really low and her lungs were full of junk. So, it was a big bummer. Poor baby. Since the antibiotics and steroids, she has been SO much better. That's the first set of ear infections I have ever had to endure...let's hope it's not a regular thing.
4. My parents are taking me and Anton to Hawaii really soon. I can't wait!! It will be the first time we have left Claire, but with how busy she has been lately, I am thrilled for the break! We are so excited!
5. I am having my knees operated on tomorrow. I am not going to lie, I am having a lot of anxiety about going under anesthetic. Wish me luck!
6. Anton and I weren't big nerds this year, and actually stayed up passed 12:00 on New Years!  Thanks to our friends. They came over and introduced us to the fabulous game of Ticket to Ride. That game is SO fun. In fact, we had so much fun, we made them come back the next night and play again. That makes two nights in a row staying up passed 12:00! We are such old nerds.
7. Lilly bug is finally getting passed her three year old attitude. Anton and I keep commenting on how sweet, and helpful she has been. She is truly a delightful little person to have around.
8. Claire is so funny, and such a stinker. I don't remember Lilly being as busy as Claire. She has the most quirky personality and makes me laugh and want to rip my hair out all at the same time. Love that little squirt!
