On Monday (12/15), Stephanie and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary by taking Kai to the Macaroni Grill. Although our meal was great, Kai ran out of patience about 3/4 of the way through dinner. We were able to keep him calm enough for us to finish our meal but it took a lot of effort. By the time we left, we were completely exhausted! I think that is the last anniversary dinner that we will be taking Kai to for a while.
Tuesday was Kai's 11 month birthday. Unfortunately I had to work a little late on Tuesday and Kai was a little too tired to take his monthly monkey picture by the time I got home. On Wednesday, we took Kai's 11 month picture. Hopefully he didn't grow too much over night and he was the same size on Wednesday as he was on Tuesday.
Also on Wednesday, we took our Christmas pictures. We got a sweet tripod from Grandpa Eridon last year for Christmas and so we were able to take pictures of ourselves. We took a lot of pictures because it was hard to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time. None of these pictures are the "Official Lesnet Christmas Picture", but they are good pictures and we thought we would share them with you all.
Here is Kai and his mom all dressed up for the holidays
Here I am with Kai and Kiki trying to be good while we wait for Santa to come. Kiki has on a special holiday collar but you really can't see it in the picture.
This picture is the first runner-up for this years official Christmas picture.
On Thursday evening, Stephanie and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary in style! We both took half days off of work. We met our estate attorney for lunch and signed our wills, then went to the stores to finish off our Christmas shopping. After braving the malls, we came home real quick to give Kai lots of hugs and kisses then we headed to Flemming's for an amazing steak dinner! It's a pretty costly place as we had a $100 gift card that I got last year for Christmas and we still had to add a Grant to get out of there.
On last week's post, I mentioned that I had made the playoffs and that I had my boss in the first round match up. I won huge in the first round which takes me to the championship game. Unfortunately my opponent this week is just on fire this week and it looks like I'll have to settle for being second place (or 1st loser) and the much much smaller cash prize.
This week is Christmas week and we will be staying close to home. Our nanny is on vacation for the week so I will be on daddy duty this week on Monday through Wednesday while Stephanie holds things down at the office.
Kai sure looks like a stinker in this picture. I think he gets this look from his daddy!
Isn't There Anyone Who Knows What Christmas is All About?
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. - Luke 2:8-14 as recited by Linus in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in response to Charlie Brown.
