 Happy birthday to James on Monday! Paul had his work Christmas party that night in Reno. I was in the laundry room and Mary stripped naked and ran in to tell me she took off her “die-puhs, shuut, and pant-th”. She is so close to being totally potty trained. She has used the potty by herself many times! Mary tried to color on the door with crayon and I told her if she did, she would get a time-out and she slapped her hand over her eyes and continued to try to color on the door. Later I told her to say sorry and she said, "oh my!" 

Paul had an evening work meeting on Tuesday where they discussed a potential business trip to Japan in mid-January. After his meeting he helped an elderly man in our ward figure out his computer. Mary and I played with her basketball hoop and when we got the ball in the hoop she would say "good job guys!"

Thursday, Mary and I ran to drop Paul's computer off to him before we had a play date with Megan and Kynlee at the park. Friday Paul got the day off, so we cleaned the house and got it ready for his siblings to come over. Sam, Emily, and Andy got here that night after we got a call from Paul's boss telling him he got a promotion, a raise, and that he will be going to Japan in January! We celebrated by going into Reno for dinner.

Saturday, we went bowling, I got second place both times while Paul won the first round and Sam won the second round. That night I made homemade hot chocolate, and it turned out really yummy! When I put Mary to bed, she grabbed my hand and said, "come on, ready?" Sunday was Christmas Eve and there was a lot of cooking. I prepped some food that morning then we went to the Christmas program at church that was just sacrament meeting. That night we had a yummy turkey dinner, opened our Christmas pjs, and we watched It's a Wonderful Life before going to bed. Paul helped me stuff the stockings and set them out on the couch after Mary was asleep. Mary loved her Santa pjs and said "Santa! Ho, Ho, Ho!"

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
