Holidays

What a great holiday we had! It looked a bit sketchy at first as actual Christmas found Frannie with the flu, an ear infection, and teething her top canines, but with antibiotics things improved quickly. We saw Grandma Joy on Christmas Eve Day and Frannie was able to meet her cousins Tony and Diane, along with three new dogs including a boxer named Tiny who was three times her size.

We hung out as a family Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Opening presents was so fun this year. She really took her time and after opening each gift she'd play with whatever it was before moving to the next one. We took a break to make blueberry pancakes, which Frannie LOVED helping with. Then to get out of the house we went to Bentleyville again to see the lights.

Friday Frannie, Maymay, and I drove to Dwight where we stayed til Tuesday afternoon. Frannie was a great traveler. We got to see "Bikkee", Meg, the "Bret's", Beth, Val and Buzzy, and the highlight of picking and dropping off Booboo at the train. 

We stayed in Hayward a couple days to play with Boppa and Maymay and then came home Friday to relax. Although we got here and the furnace had stopped working so the pipes partially froze. Thankfully everything was fixed by 7 that night so we were actually able to enjoy the weekend.

Next post-watching her play with her new toys....amazing.....
