I know I am way too late, but I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We went to Christmas eve service at Watermark and Macaroni Grill dinner. MK was quite the pill at dinner on Christmas Eve, always keeping us on our toes and reminding us that we are getting closer to the terrible twos every day!
Christmas morning was just our family in our house, exactly how we wanted it! MK woke up in her own bed, we had breakfast, read the Christmas story from Luke and thanked baby Jesus for coming to earth and then opened our presents. We gave her a babydoll and stroller and a couple of books and puzzles. My parents got her some precious outfits and her Great Ody gave her a life sized baby panda bear that MK was afraid of!
After present opening and MK's nap we headed out to the airport to Orange County. My sisters, brother in law and parents were in Newport Beach for Christmas so we flew out to join them for Christmas night through New Years. MK sat in our laps for the 3 hour flight and she did great, especially considering that she had an ear and sinus infection!
We have been having a blast here in Newport! My parents rented a house right on the boardwalk and beach and all 9 of us are staying in it! MK spent the first night in a pack n play in our room and after waking up every two hours cause she realized we were right there, she got moved to my parents closet. My dad can't wait to get her up and he's been getting her up early every morning. They get to have MK-Poppy time for an hour every morning until we all get up... can you say spoiled! She's perfected the art of begging from her aunties and they can't say no to her "peas" and sign language. They may have created a monster. That's gonna be fun to retrain when we get home!
I am loving the sister time and soaking it in as much as possible since I don't know that next time we will all be together again. I adore my sisters and wish we lived closer.
Mike and I are having a blast together too. We have several great babysitters here so we are filling up our quality time tanks!
