The Bassham Blog

Being a teacher, Donnie is always off for the holidays, and I took off the week between Christmas and New Year, so we had plenty of time to relax around the house and spend time together. I wish I could say we got a lot of things done, like organizing closets, unpacking bags, and visiting friends, but between my sinus infection and Donnie's sinus/upper respiritory infections, we were pretty lazy. And looking back, it was probably the best thing for the 3 of us just to sit instead of run, like normal :)

After Christmas, we let Rhett open all of his toys and really play with them, since there wasn't much time for that while he was opening everything on Christmas Day. Here's some pics from that fun...


Watching TV. Still in the same shirt from Christmas day :)


Showing Mommy his gymnastic skills from gym time...


One night, we decided to do "make your own pizzas". Here he is working on his masterpiece. It cracked me up because he HAD to take off his shirt to work on his pizza :)


Sprinkling on the cheese...


I was impressed with how well Rhett sprinkled on his toppings and he was so happy with his work, he ate most of his!

Some pics from around the house. As you can tell, I don't always force the kid to wear clothes if we're hanging around the house. I choose my battles :)

Helping Mommy pick up around the house (or play with wrapping paper rolls)...






Lounging on the couch with Mommy. He HAD to have his fire truck while we watched Fireman Sam...


Adding Elmo into the mix...


New Year's morning with Mommy on the couch...


Getting comfy...


And out on the couch at 10am. When Donnie picked him up to take him to his bed, he didn't even open an eye :)




Making funny faces at the dinner table...




Rhett's cheesy grin. What a ham...


Cracking himself up...




So, the break was wonderful and we were able to recharge for the new year. Happy 2011 to each of you!!
