The Sock Monkey Party.... that wasn't:(

Well what a birthday it was/wasn't. Where to even start. The day before the party I could tell both kids were going to be pretty sick but I was hoping everyone would get a great night sleep and be fine for the party. What was I thinking?? Mike and I got about 3 hours sleep. It was like having a newborn again and not in a good way. Needless to say, the next morning they were worse. We cancelled the balloons, cancelled the bounce house, cancelled the pizza (well all but 2 of them, we still had to eat) and sent out all the texts that the party was not going to happen. Instead we had on our own little family party with sick kiddos. Grandpa stopped by in the morning to bring Travis his presents and Uncle David and Auntie Cat came by before bed time to drop their gifts off! That was a nice treat! It is definitely a birthday that none of us will forget. I did SOO much decorating and went to town with this whole "sock monkey" theme. Sure was cute, just wish everyone could have seen it! Travis didn't even take a bite of his Monkey cake. Just kind of smashed it between and fingers and cried. It was kind of sad. We will try it again when everyone is healthy again.

The hunt for the perfect tree...

For awhile now we have had a tradition of going to the same place every year and picking out our Christmas tree. We don't cut it down yet but we pick which one we want! Last year I didn't get to go because Travis had just arrived! It was so fun going this year as a family of 4. It was rainy and cold and both kids were getting sick.... but we did it anyway! Can't break tradition!

Getting ready for the Par-Taa

Sophie helped me with ALL of Trav's Birthday Party decorating! She even made the cupcakes!

Little Man

Something about this flannel and his little jeans that make him look like such a little man!! Cute little man for sure!

Trail run with the Hubs!!!

We got Grandma and Grandpa to watch the gremlins and Michael took me on one of his trail runs. Can't say it was easy but it sure was fun! We had beautiful coastline views from the top. After the run we grabbed some food at this crepe place by our house. Never knew it was there and now its my favorite place EVER!!!!
