What a wonderful week!!! I had very productive Global Controllers Leadership Team meetings, Daycare made the holiday spirit come out in our kiddos and Connor celebrated his official 1st Birthday! Of course all this fun commenced with a wonderful Christmas weekend!
Monday -
Connor led a ballet session in the baby room HAHA- he is almost fully moved to the big boy room!
Maci painted in the Red Room which is the final room at their daycare before kids head off to Kindergarten. She fully moves to that room at the start of the year.
Tuesday -
Connor played in the snow for the first time at school and was the only infant room kiddo not to cry! Go Connor man :)
I had a work dinner/happy hour with the global team in town. On the way home I caught up with a dear friend, Jim and decided to park the car and chat by this festive house vs waking up the house :)
Wednesday -
Happy Official 1st Birthday Connor Man!
Loving his new chair - Happy Birthday gift from mommy & daddy!
Sissy has to get in on the action.
Sissy has to get her chair out to take part in the photo opportunity :)
Daycare had Connor spend his entire 1st birthday in the next room - transition room - AHH Too Big!
While I struggle with him growing up, he LOVED his time in the big kid room.
Lunch even tastes better :)

Sunday -
Christmas Day!
So I say no one gets up before mom but I must be a huge kid - I was so excited to see the reactions - I couldn't sleep. Around 6a I finally got up and got everything ready with dog feeding, bottle for Connor etc. Maci was finally hearing my not so solid attempts at being quiet and got up at 645a :) Ahh we then had about a fun hour of opening and then another 3-4 hours of "mom can you open this please" I LOVE CHRISTMAS WITH KIDDOS! I also got spoiled by the family with a new I-Watch and a huge thing of Lush Bath Bombs - Love my baths :) Clint was quiet pleased with his engraved mini I-Pad that he will no longer share with M!

Our Wonderful Make Believer
The morning's waitress was Sparkles
Wouldn't be a holiday without "hey mom, let's do those funny selfies"
Oh she graduated from med school and is now saving puppies lives - she had a busy day :)
Ah what a wonderful and lazy family day! I finally got moving around 5p and created/ordered Connor's 1st year of life photo book - wahoo momma! We are all off tomorrow as well but have no real plans yet other than a needed grocery run :) I love this time of year because while it is holiday chaos it is different than the usual pressures of life. We have a whopping 2 days at work this week and then more holiday fun! I just love spending time with the ones I love and watching them smile!! 💙💙💗💗💖💖
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! We look forward to seeing our Ohio crew and wish you all a very healthy, happy and prosperous new year - we can't emphasis the healthy piece enough after 2016!
Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
