1/1/21 – Stand Behind Me Daddy!

You slept in until 10a! You came out and snuggled on the couch with your flamingo. You were so happy Grandma Noot spent the night. We made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and played games on the floor all morning. We played Hungry Hippos and you kept saying “stand behind me Daddy & help me, I love you!” You got out the bandages and put at least 10 on you and 3 on me lol. You complained to Aunt Deb last night that we were running out of Band-Aids…I guess this is why!

We rode our bikes several times again today. We took a break for you to fly the kite with Daddy then we were back at it. While we were riding, I asked if you wanted to go watch Frozen tonight outside at UTC. You were surprised but happy about the possibility of watching outside! We went home to grab some dinner and pack snacks for the movie. You told me to “bring all the sugar we have” when I was packing up.

We went to watch Frozen 2 outside at UTC. Elsa & Anna were there and you were so excited about that. You said “I didn’t know Elsa & Anna were going to be here! This is the best day ever!” Your excitement made my day! I’m so glad we came. You ate tons of snacks and lots of sugar. You were up and dancing through some of the songs. I was snuggled under a blanket but of course you weren’t cold. Several times while you were up dancing, you came up to me, gave me a huge kiss & said “I love you Mama!” Nothing better in the world!

After the movie was over we decided to walk up Cattlemen Road to see the lights. I didn’t realize the light show was still going on. We were able to sit and watch it and of course you were a dancing machine! Jingle Bell Rock came on and you really went crazy! You really wanted to do the horse & carriage ride but it was too late. We will try to go again on Sunday! I was going to head home when the show was over because it was 9pm and you were up so late last night, but you wanted to keep walking and see more lights. What the hell…why not!?!?! So, we crossed the street, played on the stage set up at Barnes & Noble, took some pictures near the Christmas signs set up (of course by the Flamingo one too!) and then caught the last light show of the night. We headed home and told Daddy all about the show then jumped in bed. You were sleeping in 3 minutes!

I love you so much!
