The Holiday Season has been....

exhausting
stressful
hectic
interesting
entertaining

As you can see there are tons of words to describe our lives since Thanksgiving.  The highlights:
1.  Stomach flu for the entire family over Thanksgiving weekend
2.  Leo's surgery/recovery the first weekend in December
3.  Gwen getting Influenza A just a few days after Leo's surgery
4.  Leo getting molars
5.  The "Perfect Storm" at work.....Budget Season, monthly reporting....etc.
6.  Prepping for our big trip to NY for Christmas (which we are super excited about)

In the midst of all of this we still had time to do some fun things.  We visited Santa, baked Christmas cookies, and went to Bass Pro Shop for their Red-necktastic Christmas activities, to name a few.  All those things were fun, but pretty rough on the family......... Leo freaked out seeing Santa and then on the Carousal at the Bass Pro Shop, and Gwen went into Super Brat Mode during both activities.  Other than that, it truly is magical to watch the kiddos during this time...........who am I kidding.  Nobody mentions that your children turn into lunatics come Santa time. Even our Drag Queen Stripper Elf......Cinnamon can't keep Gwen in line!!

On a good note and less negative Leo did get to decorate his first Christmas cookies.  By that I mean he put candy on the raw dough then ate it.  His cookie never got baked!
