No nap Monica

One of our challenges the last couple of months has been Monica's sleeping habits. If she naps more than a half hour per day she is getting up out of bed past 9:30pm. If she doesn't nap, this is how she spends her late afternoon...

Here are some delicious things Dave and I cooked up over the break:
Coconut Shrimp and Beef Wellington

Snowman remains

After our snow this week, the kids tried to make a snowman. It was too icy to make a traditional one so they made a horizontal one. Here is what's left...

Santa offering

Santa left this little thing in Dave's stocking this year since santa knows how much he likes bacon. While Dave was appreciative of all his gifts, he will be fine if he doesn't receive bacon mints in the future...

Zoo lights so pretty!

It was quite an adventure getting to zoo lights with Aunt Judy, Courtney, and Dylan. Parking was crazy because of crowds, so daddy didn't see much !

New dog bed?

Penny is trying to convince Monica to let her sleep in her bed. It is really easy for her to crawl into it and snuggle.

Monica is not so thrilled with the idea...
