Tom bought the boxed set of Charlie Brown holiday DVD's and we promised Ian we would watch with hot cocoa and popcorn last night.
Ian was helpful for much of the day, including with pulling old bermuda grass and weeds and helping to get them into the green barrel. Following that, he and Connor spent a good portion of the afternoon running errands with me. Connor was running a fever by the end of errands and Ian continued to be pleasant and conversational.
He helped chose dinner and ate much of it. Following that, we gave him his mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows and a bag of popcorn. Connor fell asleep for a few hours on the couch during dinner, but we included him in watching the movie. It was so nice to just have the Christmas lights on, and sit bunched up on the beanbags together.
This morning, Connor is feeling much better. Ian is sitting on the floor playing Legos and I washed the kitchen floor with baking soda, peroxide and a little vinegar to get the grout clean. It looks very clean, but rinsing the floor is a pain. But it is clean! Like, really clean!
Today, we are going to assemble a gingerbread house for Ian and I am working on finishing some of my Christmas presents (I cannot say as some of my trusty readers might be recipients) and try to get to the grocery store so we don't have to go later this week.
Special note: Ian now weighs 38 pounds-just two pounds away from the booster seat! I have left some crackers out for him to snack and I am wondering if I buy him a booster seat and show him, if he might feel incentive to actually eat.

Sounds like a fun family evening :)
I will have pasta and butter on hand for Ian, to help him on his booster seat goal.
This sounds like such a wonderful family evening.
Happy Christmas!
Love your new banner photo!!
That does sound like fun. We (three adults) watched a Charlie Brown movie last night.
love your new look!!
Sounds lovely and peaceful. Glad you are having cozy time together. I've been craving popcorn lately. Figure that's a good way to get past my fear of the microwave but so far Schwan's has been out of stock for weeks. So it goes. Tomorrow I may try the microwave. We will see. I've been saying that for weeks. Hope you enjoy a continuing peaceful Christmas season.
