We started December with a birthday party - Tyler's 7th birthday party. The parties are always so much fun. The parents laughed that only in Texas could we have an outside December birthday party equipt with not only football equipment, pinata, dodge ball, but also. . . . water balloons. It was a little rainy so some of the activities were in the garage.
Joey was one of the youngest and was so emotional that day - this growth spurt has challenged both of us. Joey cried when he didn't win musical chairs, he laughed with dodge ball, he cried when he got hit by a ball, he squealed with excitement with the water balloons. The fourth time crying, I was exhausted and just held him. Joey had hit his head on another boy's head. He asked me if he was bleeding and needed to go to the doctor. I assured him that he was just fine. A few minutes later I decided to see the injury - oops! This time the crying was justified - see photo below with the large purple lump on his forehead which only got worse as the day continued.
We always get a "real" tree for Christmas. And, it just seems that the day we decide to go is the coldest day of the season. Jose is always so intent on getting the best tree - this is quite a process. Photos below are a glimpse of our adventure.
