this week the weather was gloomy and rainy, and Al worked 3 overnights & thus slept most of the daylight hours. trevor and I spent lots of time at the neighb's or crafting or watching tv (we were tired, hopefully just the weather). we lost all our snow and it doesn't look good to have a white Christmas...
Wednesday once Al and Trevor were awake from nap, we dressed warm and packed up to go see the lights at Irvine park in Chippewa. we got there just after 4 so it wasn't dark yet but more dusk, and it was raining. so we drove through the whole thing then parked, got out and walked half of it. there were so many lights and statues, and Trevor loved walking through the mud and puddles. :) it was beautiful and we practically had it to ourselves since it was raining; we were the only ones walking through it.
Thursday we played at the neighb's in the morning and then watched cam & chloe at night. T loves playing with them and wants to do everything Cam does. we have trevor's little slide in our living room right now and the 3 of them went up and down and around that thing for half an hour if not more.
Friday morning, trevor and I drove up to mom's as she had the day off. mom fed Trevor and put him down for nap while I went and got my hair cut. then after supper, I went over to manda's house for a movie night; we watched pitch perfect 2!
Saturday morning was our annual winter wonderland free event in oakdale. I've been going for years with meg, the twins & summer, and manda and her girls. T's first year was last year but he wasn't walking yet so he was in the carrier on me. this year was more fun for him since he could walk and see and do more things; although it was much colder this year. we saw santa, pet the animals at the petting zoo, went on a candy cane hunt, wagon ride, sat by the bonfire, pet lots of puppies, gave high fives to a snowman. we had lots of friends/family join us this year: meg, summer, skye & ty, manda, johnny, eva & elouise, maren, nick & tula, kunde, matt & gwen! we had a successful santa sit picture with trevor even tho he first tried to bolt away from santa, then laid his head on my shoulder away from santa. but he was fine once I sat him on his lap and we even got partial smile from him. then Tula joined Trevor on his lap to help ease Tula onto santa. Trevor loved the puppies and all the animals and walked almost the whole time in full snow gear/boots.
after Winter Wonderland, we drove home to eau Claire because Al had the day off. after nap, we ran some errands and had an early night.
sunday we drove to Wausau for our Christmas with Al's family. we got there just before 10. right when we got there, Al put Trevor down and Althea's roommate's dog Vinny came barking around the corner and scared T. then Griffin (Althea's dog) jumped up on him to say hi and scared him again. he was scared of the dogs the rest of the day although he got better as the day went on. we had some appetizers and Trevor gave grandpa Peter multiple hugs! he loved playing with auntie althea and her boyfriend chad. we opened presents and Trevor loved what he got! Auntie Althea got him a garage ramp with a couple cars and some hotwheels cars (perfect for him)! Grandpa Peter got him a huge box full of every different color of playdoh (we've been wanting to try playdoh!) and 3 great books with a bunch of Disney short stories in them. wendy and wanda got him a little people airport with an airplane that goes around and around! it has luggage, a car to transport the luggage, a table & chairs, a pilot and a steward. he's loved playing with it already especially hitting the button to make the airplane fly.
shortly before lunch, wendy, keith, casey, Jeremy, and wanda came over. we were in the middle of present opening when they came so we gave hugs then continued. then we ate lunch (we had tons of food) and Trevor loved the meatballs grandpa peter made; he ate probably 5 whole ones. there were lots of cookies and mimosas! we watched some football (couldn't get the Vikings game to come in) and laughed. we all headed out just after 2 and Trevor slept the whole way home. once home, we watched the packer game and had another early bed time.
Monday morning I got a bunch of things done from my to do list and then we went out to lunch with our Christmas money to one of our favorite places in ec that we haven't been to since before Trevor, Mogies. we had burgers, cheesy tator tots, and yummy beer!
