Christmas is coming!

Something happens when December 1st hits! I get all full up of Christmas spirit. Saturday DH, E & I went to Walmart and got her pictures done. Lovely!! What really made the picture was her though. I won't go to Walmart again. They go on and on about how there are no hidden fees or sitting fees but then they try to upsell you. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Anyway, I didn't let that bother me. Saturday afternoon we went to DH's union Christmas party for the kids. Santa showed up and passed out presents to the kiddies. Emma loved her "Learn to Dress" Elmo. But when we got home, she didn't touch it. I think it's something I'll have to help her with. She did so well. 2 outtings and 1-10 minute nap. Whatta gal! By 5:30, she was falling asleep in her little chair. Poor doll.

Sunday, I got up with E around 6. We had breaky and left Daddy & Nana sleep. We slipped church to stay in our jammies and relaxed most of the day...sort of. DH got up and did a little work on the vehicles...tightened MIL's bolts (tires) and put the winters on our van. E & I decided to go out and "help" aka play on the slide, climb the stairs on the deck a million times and basically chase after little miss. DH also did an extensive search for the staple gun to put up the Christmas lights (which he finally found after dark). The lights looked great and E was in awe. We also got all the decorations ready to go. Unfortunately we were too caught up with household chores to get them done. Guess we could have skipped the movie to decorate but it was nice to relax. We watched You, Me & Dupree. Good movie, slow in parts.

Well, guess I better get at it! TTFN!
