Holidays

Wow! Where has this year gone? First let me apologize for not keeping up with the blog. I have been working at Super Target since November part time. Which means my free time as been very limited.
Thanksgiving we spent the day at my dad's house. Mary made a great meal and the house was nicely decorated with festive decor. I'm sorry that I didn't take any photos, there was to much playing with Logan, Cody, Dylan. We brought the Toy Story Mania game for Wii over and I spent the afternoon teaching Cody & Dylan how to play, with Logan's help. It was a super day.
Later that night, we had mom babysit so Doug and I could go catch a movie. Harry Potter, the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Logan has a great time playing with grandma Janet, midnight, Savannah, and Aunt Sharon, who was staying with mom while recovering from knee replacement surgery.

Not to long after Thanksgiving Logan went on a food strike. The first day of the strike was great (not), Logan sat in his high chair for 4 hours, 2 of which he was crying and not 1 bite taken. I knew we were in for a long fight. Logan would only eat yogurt and graham crackers for a week, then he didn't want yogurt (which he won't eat now). There were many nights that Logan went to bed without supper. We had taken him to the doctor to rule out any other medical issues, but his doctor that this is a phase and he will eat when he is ready. Oh stressful for mommy. Needless to say with the food strike Christmas was gonna be fun.


Logan and I went to my dad's on the 23rd. Doug stayed home, he came down with a bad cold and didn't feel like getting anyone sick. Logan ate a little bit, so the food strike was not as bad as it had been. He had a couple rolls. Dad made his famous veggie stew (always good). Logan got some great gifts as well.





Christmas Eve my mom (Janet) came over for dinner. I made turkey thighs in the crock pot, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and we had apple pie. Logan has fallen asleep before mom came over, so when it was time to eat he was a little tired and didn't fight the eating. He ate his potatoes and a bite or two of turkey. Then we opened gifts and played.



We spent Christmas day in Henderson. We were missing Jeff this year, he was celebrating Christmas with his girlfriend and her family. Everyone ate their meal, but Logan he did manage to eat a roll and later had a cookie, but no meat or green beans. After the meal everyone played and hung out before opening gifts. Logan and Zack got some great toys and made a great paper mess. Christmas is really a time for shared blessings and we have been very blessed this year. We are happy to say that Logan is gonna be a big brother in August.






Hope everyone had a great New Years! We didn't do a whole lot, went to a movie in the afternoon and then hung out at home. We all feel asleep before midnight. Logan woke up when the fireworks went off. So I was up for a little bit getting him calmed down.
