The kids have been so interested in dolls lately, that I decided to take advantage of that and prioritize playing dolls with them. They beat be to it, because while I was working out, they already started playing with their dolls and packing their suitcases for a girls trip. I showed up just in time to put the dolls in their dresses with the kids, and participate in their snack party. Lily joined too. It was a riot! Highlights were Lydia’s valley girl impersonation, Lily’s hilarious comments from CJ, and of course, Kendall’s antics.
Lily read another book today and I worked on the house and finished taking down the Christmas decorations that Lily already started taking down. Lily really worked hard on the house and laundry and her exercise this week and she hasn’t been sleeping a ton, so she was a little more tired today.
Then we all went to Matt and Courtney’s new house, and also met up with Heidi, who came too. We enjoyed taco salad, salmon (deliciously cooked on Matt’s Traeger), and very fun and fulfilling conversation. We caught up on each other’s lives, which included a crazy story of a property line dispute that Matt and Courtney had to deal with right after buying their house. We had a tremendously good time as we really enjoy them. I also loved sledding with the kids in their backyard!
When we got home, Lily and I put the kids down and played the new chocolatier version of Azul that she bought at Blickenstaff’s and that we learned the previous night with the Olsens. We had so much fun playing together and played until after midnight!
