THE beard

Chris' favorite part about being off work for 5+ weeks.
THE BEARD!

RIP Fiona

Sadly, we lost a pet.  Fiona (2.0) passed away and was laid to rest over Christmas break.  She started to look bad and we had her death watch for a few days until she finally bit the dust. Ryan was very upset and planned a small funeral for her first pet. She called Pa and he came right over to attend the burial.  Ryan said a few words and we put her in the ground.  RIP Fiona.

Polly was a pall bearer

Ryan saying a few words about Fiona

Grandpa was there to comfort her.

When Fiona died, she immediately wanted to call her Grandpa.

And, he came running with the sweetest card and flowers.

Fun Night with Friends

Elise and I spend a ton of time working out together at CG,
so it was fun to have a night out together with our CG friends!

Games and Dinner

We had a fun afternoon/evening playing games and eating out with Mamaw and Pa. 

Polly's Bedtime books

These four books are what we read to Polly every night at bed time. Same 4 books, same exact order.  Do not even try to read Where is Baby's Belly Button? before From Head to Toe. That is not the order and she will freak! The order is: From Head to Toe, Where is Baby's Belly Button?, How Do I Love You and finally Goodnight Moon. Polly adds the same comments at the same time in each book. It is absolutely precious. I love our routine so much.

End of winter break

What a wonderful 3 weeks off we had!  We had so much time together, especially since Chris was off work the entire time because of his ankle injury.  We made lots of memories and got lots of rest. It was perfect.  I started 1/2 marathon training this week so I got up early for a run and snuck in to check on my two big girls sleeping in. I love to watch them sleep.  

Did my 3 miles and they were still sound asleep when I got home.
Chris and Polly too!

Last Winter Indoor Game

3 goals for Emma and they won 10-1.
