 Monday was Christmas Day! We woke up to find we had a light dusting of snow in our backyard. It was the first snow of the year and a Christmas miracle! Paul made a delicious breakfast of blueberry muffins, eggs, and bacon. We read Luke 2 then opened the gifts. Mary got a coloring pad and bows from Nana and Grandpa, a dress and books from Grandma Roberts, flash cards and blocks from her Roberts great-grandparents, and toys from Mom and Dad. After we opened gifts we cleaned up a bit then watched a couple NBA games. I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she was too excited. After my second attempt to put her down for a nap we facetimed with Nana. Mary was excited to show off her dance moves and tell Nana and Grandpa all the new words she had learned. Then we watched Christmas movies for the rest of the day and kept up our Roberts Christmas tradition of having pizza on Christmas.

Tuesday, we drove to Reno and went to a trampoline park in the morning. Mary and I have been before, but it was the first time for Paul, Sam, Emily, and Andy. We all had a great time, especially Mary. Then we went to an Indian restaurant for lunch that was super delicious. Mary fell asleep after that, so I stayed in the car with her while Paul went with his siblings to walk around the mall for a little while then we went home and watched movies.

Wednesday, Sam, Emily, and Andy drove home. Mary kept asking to play with them after they left, she had so much fun with her aunt and uncles. Happy anniversary to Jacob and Brianna on Thursday! Paul went back to work and Mary and I went to our weekly exercise class/play group. It was nice to talk to the other moms, I hadn’t seen them for a couple of weeks and Mary loved playing with her friends. We got home and I cleaned our house and got the Christmas stuff put away.

I taught Paula with the sisters then I went home and picked up Paul and Mary to drive to Reno for our New Year's Eve celebration. We went to Barnes and Noble, which was really fun, then went to the Cheesecake Factory.

Sunday, I substituted in primary for singing time. It went well but I wish I was behind the piano instead of leading the music. We had the sisters over for dinner then went to Gochenour’s for a New Year's Eve party. It was fun and we got to meet two more couples who live in Fernley.

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...
