A Reason to be Spoiled

This past week was full of family fun and unplanned excitement. Grammy got to stop by for a visit on her way to a convention. It was so nice. We had dinner together in the middle of the week; which never happens because we live so far away from each other. What a treat.

Grammy and Cole played for a while before his bedtime. She showed him how to play basketball with his feet and how to "cheat" the game by pushing the button inside the hoop to make the game play different songs and cheer sounds. Cole giggled and cracked up the entire time. He loved it. He now presses the button when he wants to change the game song all on his own.

The following day, I had my first chiropractic appointment. My back has been hurting me since June. It wakes me up in the middle of the night it hurts so bad. So I finally gave in and made an appointment to see what is wrong. In short, everything will be fine after they work on me (torture me) a while and give me some physical therapy.

Aunt Nell, Taylor and Tricia watched Cole for me while I was at the doctor's office. We met at the mall. When I got back from my appointment, I had discovered that "Prince Cole" had been spoiled rotten. Aunt Nell bought him a new outfit, a toy and took him to see Santa. He was so cute. I was so glad that they all had such a fun time together. Thank you Aunt Nell, Tricia, and Taylor for treating Cole like royalty. It was great having dinner together and hanging out after the appointment too. I had so much fun with you gals and I know Cole did too.

We were lucky enough to have Taylor spend a few nights with us. It was so nice having her around. She is always a great help when she stays with us and the giggles are endless. We bought a small Christmas tree (Cole's Christmas tree) and set it up in the living room on top of a table. (I am just not ready to wear myself out trying to keep Cole away from the big tree yet.) He is so fascinated by the lights and ornaments. He loves looking at his tree every night.

Afterwards, Cole wrestled with his new toy puppy, Stockin. He was really showing off in front of Taylor. Thank you for staying a few days with us Tay-Tay. Can't wait for Christmas break. :)
