12/23














 






I was really hoping cooper would be better today so we all could go but he was so sick this morning so just kinder and I went up to pc. It was so sad because he had been looking forward to ice-skating for so long. He’s wanted to go for a couple years now and then this morning he said I’m too sick to go so that was how I knew he must be really sick if he wanted to stay home instead. So I was a little bit nervous about driving, but it went fine and then we had so much fun ice-skating. It was so cute to see McKinley‘s reaction to it because she was in love! She kept saying faster, faster, or asking to do spinners and we kept going for like 2 1/2 hours. It was a really good glute workout to push her little walker thing on the ice, but it was so much fun. then, after that, we went back to the hotel and they had this fun little thing set up for Christmas, where you got to pet some reindeer and take pictures with them and then they had bracelets to make with beads and coloring pages and some food and it was all free! and that was fun and then after that we went swimming, and then we went to Zupas. And overall it was such a good day! It was so nice to see family again and I’m looking forward to tomorrow as well where we get to see even more family too. Dylan said he felt bad for Cooper that tonight before he went to bed. He said oh good no fever now and Cooper said does that mean that I can go ice-skating now and then he was sad that he’s like well you kind of missed it buddy but we’ll go another day. And it was so cute to see Kayden and Calvin and Melanie all obsessed with McKinley and she was loving getting so much attention from them.

Gave up on trying to get a family picture and instead just edited the crap out of our Santa pic so hopefully it prints well



 









Everyone was feeling better today, still some pretty gnarly coughs, but at least the fevers have kind of stopped. So we went to Gardner Village and saw the elves and then we went to lunch at Archibald‘s. It was really fun! McKinley and I made cookies while the boys did errands. It was a good day. Just trying to get everything done in time for Christmas.

 Today Dylan said that Cooper had a really rough night with his flu so he didn’t do homeschool again. I got some ornaments for really cheap on Facebook marketplace and then I decorated the garland and the two other Christmas trees to have more ornaments on it and so now they look really good. Then I went to the game show place in Murray with Trenton‘s family and my mom and it was really really fun and my team ended up winning. Then I saw my dad and Shelly at Costco and then came home and ate dinner and watched a movie and it was cute. How excited McKinley wasthat my mom gave me some ornaments and she said that she likes decorating the tree so she must be just like me, lol and then the kids took a bath, and they went to bed and before bed Cooper was saying such sweet things to dallin
