The Lost Posts - December, The Holidays Part 1

The same weekend as Polar Express, we had a Flory family Christmas.  It was complete with all the same awesomeness I remember as a kid.

Talk about two people who are kindred spirits…Uncle Doug and Coop…there is no question!

Greyson and Reagan had fun enjoying their first Flory Christmas…Christmas jammies and all!
The big boys got Lego's from Uncle Doug and Aunt Jenni and we spent the better part of an hour assembling them...

The week after all the fun…Coop came down with a pretty nasty virus.  High fever, fatigue, congestion.  He was not amused.
 OMG whose freaking kitchen is this?? Sometimes reality bites.  You'll notice a wine glass in there for good measure though!
 Feeling better…and curing the boredom of being stuck at home…Coop did some stamping and water color paints!
 I pulled together some goodie bags for Owen's class party.  Each kiddo got a candy cane, snowman shaped marshmallows, hot chocolate and some stickers and hershey kisses.  They also had a make your own cookie bar that was darn well organized if you ask me!  It was so fun putting it all together.  I just wish we hadn't come down with the plague…because both Owen and I were sick and missed the holiday party!  Sometimes it's the story of this family's life.

 Man two down.
 Man #3 in our house…is a mess maker.
 More boredom chasers.  Glue, paper and popsicle sticks. Oh and underpants!
 Who needs a bowl?
 Greyson was helping me survive my virus…by giving me tissues!


 While pretending I didn't feel like death warmed up…I forced some holiday cheer and we created a family masterpiece!!
