We have only three days of work and school this week, and then a four-day holiday weekend starting Thursday! We did make it out of the house early this morning to go by Dunkin Donuts to get some donuts and some gift cards for Emmie’s teachers’ Christmas gifts, and still made it to school early too.

Jeff got up early with Emmie and let me sleep a bit longer, and then when I woke up I was surprised to find I had lost my voice! That hadn’t happened in years, and my throat wasn’t that bad and I was barely coughing, so that was certainly surprising. It actually came back during the day, but I still sound weird tonight.
While Jeff showered for church, I got my little girl dressed in her pretty Christmas dress, and she did the advent calendar and found Sheppy.

Emerson requested a McGriddle for breakfast, and since I had some food, but not enough to make a full breakfast meal, we gladly agreed and headed to McDonald’s for breakfast. The plan was to also go to Trader Joe’s afterwards, but we got a late start, and it was 10am by the time we got there, with a line all the way to TJ Maxx, so we skipped it and just went back home.

Today was Christmas Jammies day at school, and as usual (no one’s surprised), all four girls were super adorable in their fun little jammies! Riley had been playing with a water bottle in the car and somehow got it open, and spilled it all down her front. They were gonna throw it in the dryer for her at school, so she wouldn’t have to be wet and cold all morning. Silly goose!

Today was tacky sweater day for spirit week at school, and although these girls aren’t tacky, they ARE the four cutest girls I’ve ever seen!!

Today was “Christmas colors” day at school, and Emmie was excited to wear this cute new outfit from Nana. Jeff got her dressed this morning, and then sent her to me in the bathroom so I could do her hair & teeth. I said, “Ohh I like this outfit. Your shirt says ‘Bring the Joy.'” And she was like, “Yeah, Daddy already told me that.”

Today was crazy hat or headband day at school, so Emmie found Sheppy this morning wearing her headband, as a reminder!

Since Emerson was off on her Christmas road trip adventure with Grammy and Papa, that meant I got to sleep a little later than usual, and then go straight to work instead of school first. I had some CFA points racked up in my app, so I stopped to order myself breakfast on the way, and got my burrito & hash browns for free! (I was stuffed after the burrito though, so I gave away my hash browns to a friend.)

Emerson woke up at 6am, and Jeff got up with her first. They snuggled and watched tv, and then I woke up around 7am. He went back to bed for an hour, while Emmie and I played babies in her room together.
