Christmas, New Years, and New Fears

It's been a busy couple of weeks around here! Lots of fun but very busy. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were lots of fun. The kids were of course totally spoiled! On Christmas Eve, Scott got out of work early so he came home and played in the snow with the kids! They had so much fun throwing snowballs and Scott threw the kids in the air and they landed in all the snow!

After that we went the Scott's parents for our celebration with them. It was a nice night and we had lots of fun. The next morning was our family time to celebrate Christmas. We had the kids open the stockings and santa gifts.

After that we made monkey bread and opened the presents from each other. The last big gift was the trip to Disney World. We did a scavenger hunt and had it end in Megan's room with a note saying 39 days until Disney. Neither kids saw the sign, they were looking below it! Finally we told them to look up and when they did, they didn't react near what we thought. Megan gasped and Cody asked where the next clue was! They are now getting more excited each day but we now know not to tell them Christmas Day!

After our time, we went to my parents and had lots of fun there! Megan got the Ruthie doll she wanted so bad! It made her day!

New Years Eve the kids celebrated with my sister and her family. They had fake champagne and were in bed by about 9! We went to a friends from church and celebrated with our Pointe Group. We had a great time and Scott loved playing Wii with the guys!

The latest new fear we have at our house is Cody's absolute fear of his room at night. He doesn't like how dark it is outside when he goes to bed. We are going to try to move things around so his bed's not by the window anymore but I'm not sure that will help. I really hope it does but I'm at a total loss as to why he's so scared. He won't tell us what happened to make it such a big deal every night with screaming and crying. Any ideas out there of what to do would be greatly appreciated! Below is a picture of how I found Cody Monday night when I was going to bed!



Sorry the post is so long! Have a great day!

Cute blog! Sorry about your little guy. My kids get afraid of their rooms too once in a while.

Congrats on your upcoming trip to Disney World! I live 45 min. from Disneyland and love it!
