This week was busy!! Last Saturday we packed up and flew to California!! Our flight was evening and although it was smooth, Dean was a little fussy cuz it was his bedtime. He didn't sleep at all but was very close. Then we landed and basically didn't get him to sleep until midnight! The next day we went to church. He slept for about 20 minutes after sacrament. Luckily he slept an hour on the way to apple valley but he didn't sleep again until a 20-30 min nap in the evening and then on the way home.
This was our first Christmas without grandpa Schultz and it was hard. We had a fun time and dinner was good. But once we started the chimes, it was really hard. The whole night, something felt like it was missing. Or someone rather. I kept hearing grandpa shout my name over the hustle and bustle. Then uncle Jeff was the new reader of Santa and the mouse. I didn't even make it through the first sentence. I miss him. But after everything, we went to grandpa's work shop and grandma told me she saved his first toolbox from when he was 2 or 3 years old for me! I'm so excited!
Monday I went to visit with Sandra and Traci. I love those girls! And it was so fun! Then when dean and I got home, I decorated the gingerbread house, while Marissa did hers and Jen and Michael did theirs. Then after dinner, KR and I went on a quick trip to babies r us and dean was baby sat.
Tuesday was Christmas eve and Jens birthday. We went to ihop and dean sat in a high chair for the first time! Four spoons on the floor later, haha. It was fun though. We went on a walk along the pier later and the weather was gorgeous!!! High 70's to even 80 all week!! We had a fancy dinner for Christmas/birthday and then afterward, Michael gave Jen her birthday present-he proposed!!! He had saved receipts and movie stubs from dating ans taped them on boxes that got smaller. My dad got it all on video. It was awesome and special. Then we walked to jeffs and debbies and then went to the heil lights and walked around! It was so fun! On the way home, we saw a million lanterns in the sky!!! It was so cool!!
Christmas!!! We may have brought dean in to our bed for an hour...haha. We had fun helping dean open his presents and once again, we were all spoiled!! We had breakfast ay Jeff and Dani's and it was delicious. The rest of the day was low key and then the sickness set in! Michael and amber and Marissa got the flu!! Michael has Crohns so he was in a lot of pain.
The next day was very low key so KR and I went to the beach for a run and Bethany came to walk and push Dean. It was so beautiful and felt great! That night we went to my grandmas, which as excited as I was, it was also nice to escape the germs haha. Double bonus! We got there super late, stayed up chatting and finally went to sleep.
Well dean had been getting slightly better at sleeping. The prescription seemed to be working, and he was sleeping sounder and getting used to the noise. He even slept through the dog barking! But then that night, he woke up every hour and a half! It was a rough night and we were exhausted the next day. We just hung out and then went to the grocery store and babies r us. That night was the same thing! So at like 4, we put him in our bed and he slept 3 1/2! Haha oops. The next day we were slow moving and just hung out again, which was nice to relax. We did Christmas and after dinner, we packed and left, getting home late again. And that brings us to Saturday night, which I only blog from Saturday to Saturday, so you'll h ave to wait until the next post to see what happened next!! Haha. Merry Christmas!!
Dean loves to hold on to the tag from the airport haha.
