My office decided to close for the holidays so I have been enjoying my time off and the extra, focused time I have got to spend with Ben. He has been my little errand running buddy.
We did a little shopping:
He also "helped" me put together a new lamp and a new table. (We did a little re-arranging of furniture) :)
And before we knew it, Christmas Eve had arrived! We decided to open all of our gifts to each other on Christmas Eve to space things out a bit from opening gifts with my parents on Christmas morning. One of my resolutions for next year is to let Ben help me more in the kitchen. I got him his own hat, apron and gloves along with a set of child-safe knives.
On Christmas Day, we had my parents along with Fred, Shirley, Lisa and Evan over - a very happy repeat from how we spent the day last year and hopefully a new tradition!
They found the bath crayons Ben got from Santa :)
Rachel and I did a little babysitting exchange this week - she watched Ben so we could go with my mom to see Star Wars, and then we watched Raleigh so they could run some errands. These two really have a blast together.
Ben has been OBSESSED with puzzles lately. Puzzles, words, spelling, writing, and reading. So we used some Christmas money to get him a new puzzles supply!
And finally, Ben had ear surgery (tubes) this week. The entire procedure and recovery was such a non-event. He was a little confused immediately following the surgery, but he had zero pain and was back to his normal self within a couple hours.
