Christmas Baking!! Success!!

Today was mom and I's annual christmas baking day! Last year was not a good year, we burned I think everything and didn't leave with anything I think, or that was the year before, last year my sister and I got together to bake cause mom was working all the time, those turned out pretty good. Anyways, mom and dad got a new stove for christmas and baking was a breeze today! But we did have a few no-bake items too. We made peanut butter bars, chocolate rice crispy squares, homemade shortbread with homemade strawberry jam filling, chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal/walnut haystacks! Everything turned out great, except the first batch of rice crispy squares, trying to figure out how the elements work on the new stove. needless to say, high is very very high lol. Kai had an awesome time decorating a gingerbread house with Grandpa, they took pictures so on friday I will post those, they are cute! Kai would put 1 peice of candy on the house and eat 3 for himself lol, then after that was done grandpa kept him busy by play fighting for a few hours. Reiko did not want me to put him down today at all, and when I did he was having his pain cry..I tried advil which didn't seem to do anything for him, then after his nap which he fought for about an hour I gave him some codiene because he generally seemed like he was in pain. I am wondering if it is another crushed vertebrae since he is moving all his long bones. It's so hard to tell at this age, he just cries and I know it means pain, but I have no idea where somedays. then again it might just be the chronic bone pain too and not a break. I  don't know, I wish I did though. We successfully finished all our baking at 1 and we came home with a stuffed crust pizza for daddy, he wants to get all his cravings out before our diet next week starts. I came home and had a nice nap, I was tired from the last few days of being busy. Reiko was also very cranky from the RSV shot yesturday and has a bit of a fever today to go with the pain he is in. Kai napped with me when we got home cause he is fighting a nice cold which he is giving me,m I have been sneezing all day, yay, just before christmas! The little man has been sneaking into my bed at night lately, so hopefully tonight he will stay in his own bed. I used to be super strict with him being in his own bed, but now with the way Reiko sleeps, I would much rather not fight him and let us both get the sleep we need. Reiko went to bed early tonight, tried to keep him up til 6, but that was impossible, he was super cranky and even Kai could't cheer him up. He has already been up once, was warm so I gave him some tylenol, he went back to bed, hopefully he will not be up all night. I am trying to keep Derek from eating Kai's stuffed crust pizza right now, kai eats slowly and daddy see's his favourite pizza just sitting there, haha, lets see who will win this one! Ok time to spend some time with my boys...I guess lol.
night night
