Christmas Week Part Two!!

The rest of the Christmas week is a little bit of a blur for me.  I remember a lot of what we did, but don't remember what day things happened so I may not have this in the right order...  Mostly we spent Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday with my family before they all had to leave.  Becca stayed until Friday afternoon, Josef left Sunday morning, and my mom and dad stayed until Monday morning.  I am so glad they got to be here and that we got to spend so much time with them!  I was sad that Calin was feeling so sick all week because he was super clingy to Robby and I and wasn't very social with everyone visiting.  However he really good to be drug around everywhere even though he wasn't feeling good.

Thursday my mom and sister helped me pick out some tile for the new bathroom downstairs.  It has been crazy trying to find time without Calin to go and spend time over there to actually be able to look at the options without Calin running around crazy everywhere!  Calin and Robby stayed home and enjoyed a morning playing with toys and visiting Grandma and Grandpa Comeford.  We all met up for lunch at my Grandma's and saw Max and Karen, James, Britney and Mark and their kids as they drove through to go to California.  That was fun to be able to visit.  That afternoon after Calin's nap and visiting we went to the park to play while my parents, Josef, and Becca played tennis.  We also came over to watch and get in on the action.

He was helping pick up balls and return them to the match...future Wimbledon ball boy?

Giving the balls to Uncle Josef

We played on the playground for a while and he loves the slides.  He wanted to go down the big one so
Robby went down with him.   Then we let him try it out all on his own.  

He loved it and wanted to do it over and over again! He was very sad to leave the slide behind when it was time to go.

That night we went back to have dinner at my grandma's and then we went home and got Calin to bed. My mom came over to sit with sleeping Calin while we went with Josef and Becca to see Frozen.  It was very cute and we were glad we got to go and see it even though it was a late night! Thanks mom for babysitting!  

Friday I met my mom and sister for pedicures.  So fun to have a pampering girls morning.  I love to get pedicures and don't have a chance or the funds to do it nearly as often as I'd like.  Thanks for sponsoring a fun morning mom!  We went back to my grandma's for lunch and were able to visit with Erika and her kids and my uncle Scott.  They were on their way from California up to Salt Lake and we were glad we got to visit for a little bit.  After that we said goodbye to Becca who left to head back to Salt Lake.   That afternoon we went over to the elementary school by our house to watch Robby's Uncle and cousins fly airplanes.  Calin watched the airplanes a little but as soon as he saw the slides on the playground that was all he wanted to do.  

Having so much fun on the slide! 

He also discovered his ability to hang while at the park. (He has been hanging on things at home too, but nothing really worked well like these bars) He now loves to hang on everything! 

 After dragging Calin away from the park very unhappily (he was still not feeling well and only took a half hour nap) because he wanted to slide more, we went to go and meet Robby's family for frozen yogurt.  Sadly Calin fell asleep on the way so he and I hung out in the car so he could sleep while everyone else got frozen yogurt.  After that we left to go and have dinner with my family at my grandma's . We didn't stay too long again so that we could get Calin home to bed.

Saturday my mom and I went to get me set up with a new phone (my phone was on its last leg) and to order our vanity top at Lowe's for our new bathroom while Calin and Robby had another low key morning at home playing with new toys.  We then came back to our house to hang out here for a little while and let Calin play some more.  That afternoon we went over to my grandma's again and then had dinner.  After dinner Robby brought Calin home and I went with all my family to see the second Hobbit movie.  We would have loved to have left Calin and Robby could have come, but he was still very clingy and not feeling well with a cold and knew that he would have just been very upset the whole time we were gone.  It was nice to go and hang out with my family though but I missed having Robby with me.

Calin has been loving coloring lately and enjoyed Great Grandma's big box of crayons
and big sheets of paper to color on and people to color with him! Thanks Uncle Josef! 

 Sunday Robby woke up feeling really miserable (it had been coming on for a few days and my throat had started to hurt that day too...) so he stayed home from church to rest while Calin and I went to church with my parents.  I took Calin to nursery and stayed most of the time with him (he is not transitioning well into the nursery thing :( ).  My mom also brought a new quiet book and Bible stories book for Calin which he has been loving playing with at church and at home.  Makes for another good sacrament meeting distraction!  Thanks mom!

After church I drove Calin over to my grandma's and let him fall asleep on the way and he finished his nap over there.  We left Robby at home again to rest some more.  He was pretty miserable by the time Sunday rolled around.  We had a nice afternoon hanging out with my parents on their last night here before they drove back to Oregon on Monday.  Calin enjoyed playing and we ate dinner over there before heading home to get dinner to Robby and get Calin to bed.

Giving Mia big hugs!
Calin was still loving having Mia around, but was not quite as enamored as he was over Thanksgiving.
Mia was still very good to put up with big hugs, cars driven all over her, and being sat on occasionally.

It was a great week of celebrating Christmas and spending time with family.  We were so glad to have my parents, Josef, and Becca here to visit so we could spend the holidays with both our families.  We were sad to miss seeing Erich, Allie and Summer though.  We are very blessed to have family that will travel to come and spend time with us and glad we got to have them here for Christmas!
