New Years Week

We had a fun New Years week! Dave had a half day Tuesday and no work Wednesday, so it was like we had two mini weeks. Tuesday night we were invited over to a friend in the ward's house for snacks and games. We brought some Cilantro Lime Hummus, Wheat Thins, and Carrots. It was fun to chat and play a few games with them and a few other families in the ward.

Wednesday we did some work around the house. I did some deep cleaning and Dave finished some projects he's been wanting to fix for a while now (patch and touch up the holes in the basement, fix the front door, etc). It was a quiet day, but just what we needed.

Thursday Dave was back at work and Dustin was having a playful morning, so I did a photo shoot. He was talking cooing and smiling.

Logan thought it was hilarious that I was climbing in the crib to get good pictures of Dustin. So I took the boys into the living room to take a few shots of them together.

Just before the first picture Dustin punched Logan in the eye resulting in major tears from both boys. They didn't calm down enough to get a good picture, so all we got was this action shot (see D's hand retreating and Logan about to bust out the tears). It was sad, but a little funny!

Saturday as Dave was reading Logan his bed time stories and Logan requested Dustin join them. Logan kept giving Dustin kisses and snuggling close to him. It was too cute.

Sunday we went to Dave's sister Lucinda's baby's blessing. It was good to be able to be there and enjoy the blessing with the family. Logan missed his nap, so he's been ornery ever since, but hopefully he'll catch up on his sleep tonight!

This morning he cried for about an hour and a half switching between "I need some milk", "I want to turn on the light" and "I don't want to go to bed" (which I didn't even suggest, he just knew he was tired). It was a rough morning, so we did some baking to take our mind off how grumpy Logan was without sleep. Hopefully the enchilada soup, brownies, pb granola, and Pumpkin Breakfast cookies I made will help me get through the afternoon!
