Today is the day! We left Prosper to go to Nana's house for four days! Field trip! The boys were super cute this morning just playing and being sweet to each other. Not a super common occurrence so I decided to memorialize it, haha! Since Tammy went to Lanae's house and we didn't want to leave Colton all by himself, we persuaded him with promises of yummy food and fun company to come with us to Nana's house. When he got home from work, he graciously helped load the kids and presents into the car and we headed out! Hooray!
Val made awesome snickerdoodle cookies for Santa this year and Amy helped Derek decorate them. She pulled out little jars of sprinkles and Derek went nuts. We all joked that Santa was going to get "diabeetus" and nobody was willing to eat them. Eventually, I stepped up and took one for the team, haha! We adults had a fun time staying up late watching The Holiday, cuddling Santa's Littlest Helper (Clara), and setting up the train table Mitchell and I got as a sibling gift for the boys (and Clara). Mitchell had to work all day today and didn't get home til almost midnight. Colton again graciously offered to set up the train table and he and Mitchell had fun setting up the train tracks and all the trains and cars. Derek woke up to go potty at one point and I had to dash up the stairs to keep him from coming downstairs. I wasn't quite quick enough to herd him back to his room after though and he stood at the top of the stairs and yelled, "Mom! Look! Presents!" Thankfully, he went back to bed without much fuss and the rest of us went to bed soon after.
Brothers!
