10 days 'til Christmas?? Already??

We've been busy busy getting ready for Christmas and our trip home to Georgia to see family. What's been taking up our time?

I got my flu shot (at Walgreens, Aunt Courtney!)

Caroline is in the copy-everything-any-of-us-do phase. This includes trying to go "pee pee!!" like Jack & Daddy. It's really ridiculous - she's obsessed. She yells "pee pee!" and then runs to the toilet, holds up her shirt for about 30 seconds, says "all done!" and runs away.

Jack has been napping again lately, for a few days at least, which has been weird. I'm just letting him crash wherever he wants, like here, behind the door to his bedroom in a fake bed he made himself.

After we took the kids to see Santa, they drove some cars in a game area at the mall. Caroline loved it.

Jack's pictures from preschool came in this week. Isn't he so cute!? I love them!

His class. So cute.

The kids had some crazy bath time as usual...

Caroline is obsessed with making anything her "baby." Including
these random sea creatures of Jack's. She rocks them and pats them and coos to them.

We put up our nativity scene after Jack told me a great story about Jesus, Batman, and the
eagles that protected the manger. 

Friday morning, Justin, Caroline and I were hanging around in bed having our coffee/bottle and relaxing. Jack wasn't even awake yet, so he can't be blamed! She was laying on her back and scooted, using her feet for leverage, off the side of the bed on accident. She crumpled directly onto her neck and it made this horrible crunchy sound. She cried a lot, and became really lethargic, holding onto me and whimpering.

Off we went to the Emergency Room (again.) Luckily they weren't busy at all, we went right into a room and the doctor was there in less than 2 minutes.

Getting her neck checked out.

Poor baby.

 After a bunch of poking and prodding and a lot of tests and inspections, they declared her totally fine. She even perked up at the sight of a popsicle.

Later that day, Jack and I got some Starbucks. He got his very own cup.

We drove some more cars.

Caroline let her belly hang out.

 Jack spent some relaxing time watching TV just like Justin:

 We went out to Bill's Cafe for breakfast, and Caroline wore her princess slippers.

Our club had a Kids Christmas Party on Saturday. Justin went shopping (whaatt??) so I took the kids. They had a BLAST. They had a cookie-decorating station, a make-an-ornament station, a bunch of yummy treats, and of course Santa himself.

Last night, Justin and I went to Apple's Hardware Engineering holiday party. It was so nice to take a night away and relax! The food was good, drinks were free, the band was loud...it was great fun!

A bad selfie.

The decorations were pretty! 

Justin and some of his coworkers. 

 Today we had a quiet day at home, cleaning up and getting rid of stuff in the garage.

Caroline played in the dirt, per usual.

Jack's obviously a Farrell.

Caroline is obviously guilty.

 I can't believe Christmas is so close! The kids are so excited. It already looks like Santa came (mainly because Jack likes wrapping up random things he finds all over the house.) We can't wait!
