1) Christmas activity-filled days (Saturday we had breakfast "with" Santa in Grabill with Great-Grandma, saw gingerbread houses with Grandma in Fort Wayne, and bought our Christmas tree.  We decorated our tree on Sunday, then on Monday had the Affholter's for the day and made gingerbread houses together.  Gotta love all the fun things and people this time of year!)
2) Relaxing days at home (we've also had some of these lately as the girls seem to be extra tired.  We went to the doctor today and found out Penny is fighting an ear infection and Nora still has a bladder infection.  We are trying a new medicine for Nora now.  Also with less naps, Nora is ready for bed at 7:30
3) A date night (with my mom in town on Saturday we had the opportunity to go out on an awesome date.  We went out to Takeoka Japanese grill--thanks, dad--a quick ice cream at Culver's then to see the new Muppets movie.  We enjoyed every minute of it!)
4) decorating the Christmas tree with Nora (now that she's almost 3 Nora got to actually help us decorate.  She got to put the star up and little ornaments--all in one spot, of course.  She totally loved helping and always likes to have the lights on)
5) Penny sleeping in (on Tuesday morning she slept in until 8:15!!  That was also the first night that Penny didn't nurse before going to sleep so it must have agreed with her.  She continues to eat well and chug the cows milk)
