Christmas Break

We had a great Christmas break. So blessed to have Matt home with us for two weeks. We had some good times. Here's a little of what we were up to after the Christmas festivities. 

After Christmas, the rain came and came and came. And we started getting a little cabin fever and I suggested we paint the laundry room. We had some extra paint from our kitchen and it was just enough to liven up this white space. Matt finished this in record time and I like it. We want to add some cabinets above the washer and dryer eventually. 

Fulton got some bathtub crayons in his stocking and he is in love with these things. They are so much fun. I have to admit, I kind of like them too!

We played many rounds of Go Fishing. Fulton kind of cheats and we are learning the rules slowly. 

Mid way through last week we took a little mini road trip to see some of our best friends that moved away about 6 months ago. Has it really been only 6 months? Feels like forever. We have missed them so much. It was a fun day seeing their new home and catching up. We love the Baccus fam!

Saturday we helped celebrate our sweet friend Andrew's 4th birthday at the bowling alley. It was raining again, so it was a great day for an indoor activity. Fulton had a blast!

Sunday afternoon the sun finally returned and we met some friends at the park for a little fresh air. 

Photo credit goes to Fulton for this picture. We enjoyed the park and then headed to mom and dad's for dinner with the family. 

We have been working on the alphabet. Fulton isn't really into sitting down and learning much. It's kind of painful some days, but he has learned the alphabet, but is still working to identify letters when they are singled out. We will keep pressing on. 

Fulton was so excited to get back to school this week. This is "his best buddy" Elijah. That's what they call each other. They practically ran into each other's arms like long lost friends. These two snuck over to my room while my kids were having circle time. Love having him right next door!

And last but not least, yesterday we had our first ever "friend comes home from school with us" day. Oh it was the sweetest thing. Laylee and Fulton immediately held hands and walked all the way to the car like this. We skipped naps and played all afternoon. They were worn out by the end, but it was an afternoon well spent with a great friend. We had a great Christmas break and now the temperatures are literally freezing. At least the sun is shining though!
