We did our annual mixed up dinner for New Years. Richard loves going to the store and buying all kinds of crazy things and the girls love not knowing what they are going to get for dinner. We ended up doing it on New Years Day instead of NYE because Richard was gone watching a football game on NYE. He took Kenna and Brooklyn with him and they played with the other kids while the adults watched football. Kaylee and I just chilled together and watched a movie.
Brooklyn decided to try basketball this year and I think she really enjoyed it! It's not the youngest team you can play on but most of the kids in the league had obviously not played before but that made it nice because they were all learning together.
We spent a lot of January being sick and didn't get out much. I had decided to finally try an anti-inflammation diet so I asked Holly if she could give me some recipes as a place to start. Rather than send me recipes, she worked with Richard and showed up at our house to surprise me! It was the best surprise and it was amazing for her to come when she isn't back to 100% herself and had to leave her family to come take care of mine. She was amazing and planned recipes and prepped food for an entire month! She cooked an insane amount of meat and brought as much of the groceries as she could for all the recipes. It was amazing how much she did and how much we continued to benefit from all she did after she left! I have the best family.
When Holly was here, she had a Wicked blanket to sleep with. She said a friend gave it to her and when she got back home she told this friend that we were jealous of her blanket because we love Wicked so much. Instead of just sending a link to where we could buy it, she decided to send us, not one, but FOUR Wicked blankets! It was so very thoughtful of her and they are very soft and comfy. Kaylee and McKenna came home from school after a long week, curled up in them and immediately fell asleep on the couch :)
