So we just got Madison back to sleeping at night and then all of a sudden Wednesday night she was up for hours and ended up in bed with us because we needed sleep so we could drive 5 hours to Michigan for Thanksgiving with Dan's family.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because the whole family gets together. We have always had Thanksgiving with my family. This was the first year we did not see my family. My parents had gone to Bama to see my dad's family and well this was the first year Dan's brother hosted Thanksgiving plus the first year Dan was not in Chicago for work. We got to see Dan's brother's new house and see his whole family. We had a big slumber party at their house. It was fun. We took the dogs and they played with and hung out with their dogs. I'm not sure who had more fun and enjoyed it more the dogs or us.
Friday morning we figured out why Madison wasn't sleeping well. She popped another tooth through! Yep more teeth. We drove home on Friday and didn't do much after we got there. Madison still wasn't sleeping well.
Dan got up and went to hunt Saturday morning & Madison and I just lounged around as we didn't get much sleep plus it seems as though Madison had caught a cold. We did go out to lunch when he got home and we just started making the house look a little like Christmas. Madison enjoys that there is a light up Santa on the front porch. She didn't sleep very well Saturday night either and because we didn't have the guest bed put together, I slept on the couch because my shoulder, neck & back could not take having her all over me again, so Dan slept with her and skipped hunting. I still barely got any sleep because its not a comfy sofa to sleep on plus I can hear the dogs in their crates! Then Maggie decided that at 5:30 am she needed to go out and eat.
Finally Sunday night I got Madison to sleep in her bed. She woke once in the night and I had to soothe her and sit by her crib. Then the last 2 nights She woke up crying and once each but within 5 mins I got her calmed and asleep again. Now if I can just get her nose to stop running we would be doing great.
Well, we have lots to do between now and Christmas and then even more to do after Christmas. This is going to be interesting. I have to finish making it Christmas in the house, we have a few more presents to get and everything still needs to be wrapped. Plus there is packing to go to my mom's and Cookies to be made for Cookie Day! OH, we still need to take Madison to see Santa! Can't wait for that! Many, many adventures to be had over this Christmas season!
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
