December 23rd (Feeling Bad/Doctor Visit/Baking All Day)

Well our day started out not the best. I am not feeling well still. I really just want to lay in bed all day but we need to bake treats. After I finally made it down stairs, Adelyn started complaining about her ear saying it hurt really bad. So I called the doctor for an appt at 11:30. Ella has been waking up in the night and crying the last 2 nights so I decided to have her go also just to check her ear also. And luckily for me Nick was home due to the weather so he took the girls and I stayed home to bake.

Well the girls both have an ear infection. Poor babies. But glad we got it figured out before Christmas.

Now to more baking....Adelyn's ear hurts but she is tough and wants to make sugar cookies. 

Ella enjoyed playing in the water the most! Silly girl.

My awesome plan was to make fajita soup in the crock pot so it would be an easy dinner after all the baking. Don't mind Ella's tooth brush in the picture. hahhaa

 Lets ice those sugar cookies...my mom wanted a bunch so there are about 45.

These are the death of me but I love them the most.

Wow glad this day is over. I skipped making about 4 other types of cookies, but we still made plenty. 

Now time to relax on the couch and hope I feel better tomorrow.

After our fun play date I was still not feeling my best so we talked with Daddy to meet us at Longhorn since we have gift cards. We really enjoyed our yummy meal that I didn't have to make! lol

The girls ate a bunch of steak and Ella had lobster mac n cheese...yum-o.

On our way home we hit up the Penguin house!! It was a little cold so the girls were ready to go quickly..we even ran into our neighbors the Hogan's.

December 21st (Play date with the Washington's/Nail and Ornament Exchange!)

Adelyn was the last one to get her nails done. She loved it...she got a purple pink with glitter.

I also got my toes done...red french tip with glitter. Ella stayed home with Nick since she has had a little cold and she wouldn't have been able to stay without running around crazy.

Fun night with friends. I am feeling a little tired so it was nice to relax.
