Christmas Day Dutch woke up crabby. The kids of course got sick once we got to Phoenix, it seems to be their thing to do when we travel now. Dutch started off with a cough and fever and Maylee just had a fever. Dutch's cough ended up in croup so the nights just got worse and worse. So getting any kind of good sleep just did not happen for us the entire time we were away. Maylee has decided that a pack and play is not nearly as comfortable as her crib and she can't sleep through the night in one. So David ended up sleeping on the twin size uncomfortable air mattress with Maylee and Dutch and I in the bed. Although sometimes Maylee ended up in bed with us as well.
(Now honestly, does this look comfortable?)
So when Dutch woke up after another night of going to bed late and not sleeping good he was in a bad mood. It took him awhile to get past his fit and realize it was Christmas morning and that he got to open presents. Once we finally got to the present opening part he became happy and cheerful and more than helpful with passing around gifts to everyone. We had a great Christmas morning, thanks to Fawn who spoiled us all. Dutch got a basketball hoop and a leapster toy, batman and a grocery cart. He loves his batman and that is the only thing he remembers that he got for Christmas when anyone asks. Maylee got a kitchen, which is such a big hit with the kids and a baby doll stroller. She LOVES her stroller and is always pushing her baby around in it, it is just so adorable. Being crabby...Digging through stockings got his attention and now he is happy.
We really had a great time spending Christmas with the Lazenby's. The kids really enjoyed there time at Grandma's house. They ate lots and lots of junk food and got to play with their favorite Uncle Craig all week long. Every time we told the kids it was time to go to bed they would run and snuggle up with Uncle Craig hoping he would save them from us. They have so much fun with all their Uncles, I love watching them interact and how comfortable and quickly Dutch and Maylee warm up to Craig, Chase and Darren. We are lucky to be apart of such a loving family.
Maylee and Uncle Craig... Craig got Beatles Rock Band for Christmas and for the rest of Christmas day the boys played that and of course I joined in on the fun and was their singer. It was so much fun. It's definitely one that David and I should get.
I love this picture so much because it so perfectly shows the side of Maylee that not everyone gets to see. The girl loves to be naked. She is constantly taking off her clothes and her diaper.
