Christmas.. New Years.. Reflection

Christmas has come and gone, and it was a great time spent with all our family. On Christmas Eve we went to the candle light service at church, and the we went out to Michael's parents house. Then Christmas day we had our time at home, and then went to my moms. We spent most of the day with her and then took Whitnee to see Monsters Inc. in 3D. I didn't get any pictures of us at my moms. I'm not really sure why. That and I didn't get any pictures of Whitnee opening presents at home. Bad mommy I guess.  Here are a couple of pictures I took at the in laws house.

Sister in Laws..

Listening to the story of Christ's birth with her Pa!

Christmas Jammies!

I don't think I got a chance to show off Whitnee's Christmas dress. She looked so cute!

I did get this awesome picture of Hannah and I at my moms on Christmas day.

Last Thursday my brother and I went to visit my Grandpa, my dads dad in Oklahoma. He is going to be 80 yrs old in May so every time we get to see him and spend time with him is such a blessing! We got up bright and early that morning and it's about a 3 hour drive from our house, and Whitnee stayed awake the whole trip, so when we got there she was so sleepy, this is one of the only times she has ever just laid down and fell asleep. She sure did look cute cuddled up next to her Great Grandpa though!

When we left it didn't take long before both girls passed out

This past Friday we got our first snow of the season, and Whitnee and I took advantage of it, she was so excited! It's hard to believe that when she was little she HATED the snow! She was making snow angels and throwing snow balls like crazy! 

This year for New Years we spent time at the church playing board games and eating good food. We then prayed in the New Year with our church family. I was able to snap this picture of our Pastor playing Princess Chutes and Ladders with Whitnee. It was so sweet!!

When we got home last night of course Whitnee was already asleep so I carried her into her bed and knelt down next to her and started to pray over her for this coming year. I look back at 2012 and I'm so thankful for what God has given us and how this year has just been so full of love. With the addition of a new Pastor to our church family and all the questions Whitnee has already been asking about our faith I can only imagine what God has in store of us for 2013. I'm looking forward to Whitnee turning 4 this May, Michael and I will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary and in Aug Whitnee will start Pre-School! 

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a great start to 2013. Looking forward to this next year!  

Favorite time of year!

It's only 24 days till Christmas! I'm so excited! This really is my favorite time of year! The lights, the excitement of little kids, especially my Whitnee, and the chance of snow even though it's been in the 70's the past couple of days. Since the weather has been so nice we have spent some time outside enjoying it while we can, because it'll be gone soon. One day when we were out playing I snapped this picture of Whitnee. She is so sweet! That fake smile is so silly!

Last weekend we headed to Silver Dollar City to see Santa. Whitnee was so excited and talked about riding the roller coaster. She was good until she got on it and then looked terrified the whole time. HA When she got off she told me she was a little afraid and would have to ride it next time when she is a little bigger. :D I was able to snap this one family picture while on the train.

Whitnee has been such a little stinker the past couple of weeks, so Julie wrote Whitnee a letter telling her Santa was going to give her another chance and also made Whitnee some cookies. She kept telling Julie over and over again thank you for the cookies and that they were so good. :D









I can't remember if I told ya'll that for Christmas we got us a Keurig. Michael and I have wanted one for some time now! Michael told me that we wouldn't be able to open it till Christmas time. I wasn't very happy about that, as I am very impatient! But much to my surprise when he came home this afternoon after work he asked if I would be upset if we opened it tonight because someone he works with needed a coffee pot and we could give them ours. How could one argue with that? So tonight we had our first cup of coffee from our fancy machine. :D Of course it had to be in a Razorback cup, and I had to take a picture. I take pictures of everything now a days!

Today Michael got the rest of the Christmas lights put on the house. Whitnee wanted to get up on the roof with Michael, 2 years ago we did the same thing! She thought she was such a big girl being able to get up there with her daddy!

Tonight we got to start our 25 books counting down Christmas. I've had them under the tree since Tuesday so she has been asking since then to open them. She has also been asking when Santa comes. She told us the other day then when he comes she will open the door tell him Hi, and ask him if he has brought her present yet. So I had to explain to her how that wont work. I'm glad she now has a visual of it getting closer to Santa coming. She was so excited to get to open one of the books tonight. You can see it in her face!

We also started something else this year, a chain of verses telling us the real meaning of Christmas. When we were talking about how Christmas is a time for sharing Whitnee told me that Jesus is dead. I told her she was right and that He is living in mommies heart and in daddies heart and one day he will live in Whitnee's heart. She got all sad and asked when he will live in her heart so we explained to her that when she is old enough she will ask Him to be in her heart. Just makes me so happy to know she is already starting to understand what we are teaching her and praying she will one day except! This is her and her Daddy reading the verses for tonight.





I hope you are all starting great traditions, and creating memories with your families! I look forward to doing this every year as Whitnee gets older!

Is it Christmas time yet?

Wow I've been so bad this year about wanting to decorate early for Christmas. In years past it hasn't been that bad to wait till after Thanksgiving, however now that Whitnee is getting older and I see the excitement on her face I want to start early. Am I the only one who is having that problem. The pure excitement and joy gets me every time! I have found some ways to keep me occupied and to fix the itch I keep wanting to scratch. I want to show them with you.

This is my winter holiday wreath! I didn't want to do just a Christmas one, 'cause then I would have to make another one for when Christmas is over, so with this one I can keep it up all winter long. YAY! this was my first time make one with tulle, it really liked the way it turned out and even Michael mentioned that he likes it.

I'm all about making Christmas gifts and this year I made one for Whitnee. She had a bow holder given to her at one of the showers we had. Well at the time I thought, wow I'll never get enough bows to fill this thing up. Well was I wrong! in 3 years we have it over flowing, so I've decided to make Whitnee another one. I'm so happy with how it turned out.



This year Michael and I decided that Whitnee was old enough to have her own Christmas tree in her room. So we made a deal with Whitnee, if she could keep her room clean for a week, we would get her a tree, she decided she wanted a pink one. Well it was cute because one day she was in her room playing and came running into the living room and told me, mommy I'm done playing in my room and I need your help cleaning it up. I was so proud of her for asking me to help instead of just letting it be. So tonight on our way to Walmart, and Hobby Lobby we went. So was so excited and would have got all the ornaments at Hobby Lobby if she could have. Here are a few pictures of us decorating and her tree.

When we got the tree at Walmart she wanted to carry it herself and when I asked to take a picture she refused to let me see her face, silly girl!

Close up of some of the ornaments. She has Hello Kitty's (or Shelby's as she calls them) Gingerbread men and Women, peppermints (her fav), shoes, purses etc. Such a pretty girly tree :D

When did she get so big?

Again with the hiding the face thing, I love this little girl with ever part of me! I'm one lucky mommy!!

Things with Julie are going great, Whitnee LOVES looking for her every morning and when she is so excited to see all the different places she can hide.

Hoping the next couple of weeks hurry up so I can put up our big tree and the rest of our decorations. Beside the cold this really is my favorite time of the year!

Until next time, hope you and your families are well!

New Tradition

I'm so excited about the new tradition that we are starting on our family this week. So I've wanted to put our Christmas tree up soo bad! The hubby wont let me put it up. :( So we have kinda compromised and are starting something Christmasy this week. We are starting the Elf On The Shelf  , if you haven't heard of it click the link and read up on it. We are also adding a little twist on to it to incorporate the real meaning of Christmas the birth of Christ. Whitnee has named our elf Julie, so Julie is going to go visit Santa tonight and come back with this letter:


Dear Whitnee,

I hope you ready for the Christmas season and getting ready to enjoy time with your family!. I hear most of your family lives close to you, except your Poppie, Tif Tif, and Desi.

I’m sending this letter with someone very special– one of my little Elves.

Why am I sending her?

Well, this time of year – this time we call “Christmas” – gets very busy and kind of crazy. Everyone just focuses on “want, want, want.” Have you been telling your Mommy and Daddy what you want for Christmas? It’s ok to want a few things, but I’ve seen people – grown up and kids – get very selfish with all the stuff they want. They want so many things that they forget the whole reason we even have Christmas….

Jesus – God’s son who was born a long, long, long time ago…

The very first “Christmas present” ever given to the whole big world.

I don’t want you to forget about Jesus as you prepare for Christmas. I want you to enjoy all the fun – hot chocolate, singing Christmas songs, candy and presents – but I don’t want you to forget the most important present: God’s love for us and His son, Jesus. I don’t want you to forget that it’s still important to love others … to be nice to other people … to help other people (even your Mommy, Daddy) … to show other people how wonderful Jesus is.

So, the little Elf is here to help you (and your Mommy and Daddy) remember these important parts about Christmas: Jesus, God’s love and our job of joyfully sharing that love with others through our gifts, kind words and loving actions (the things we do for one another).

My Elf is going to hang out at your house, watching everything that happens … as a reminder for you to:

• Love each other
• Speak nicely to one another
• Help each other
• Help your friends and neighbors too
• Give to people who don’t have all the stuff you have
• Remember that God loves you kiddos so, so, so much.

Take care of my little friend – she and I will talk every night about you and how you are doing this Christmas Season.

Looking forward to seeing great things and wonderful love from each of you,

Santa

P.S. My friend told me that you have named her Julie, what a great name! Thank you for picking such a special name for a special little elf!

Whitnee is so excited to play hide and seek with Julie, and understand we can't touch her. Mommy is so excited to have some Christmas cheer in the house. Here is Julies first picture on the job

I hope you all are planning on starting some great memories with your families! I look forward to blogging more and showing you some of the stuff that Julie does. 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

We are such a blessed family! We had such a great time celebrating our Saviors birth! It all started with our new Sherry family tradition of going to the Candle Light Service. We have always gone one, Michael, Whitnee and I, but this year was different. Michael's mom and dad, brothers and sister in law all came with us. I'm so glad we got to do that and look forward to it in years to come! We would all go to different services so last year I was like hey lets make this a family thing, and since Michael is the pastor at Caudle ya'll should come with us. So after the Candle Light Service we all headed out to Michael's parents house to open presents with them. I love how excited Whitnee got this year when it came to presents and being with family. She is starting to understand everything so we are working more on explaining Santa, and the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. Here are some pictures of our Christmas Eve celebrations.

This year I made Whitnee's Christmas Eve shirt. I think it turned out pretty well. She looked so sweet in it!

I sure do love her! She really is the best part of me!

I simply love her face in this pictures! Pure excitement!

Whitnee wanted her baby stroller put together ASAP so of course her Uncles and Pa got right one it. :D Everything stopped just for her. :D

When we got home that night Whitnee was already asleep in the car, but Mommy and Daddy made sure to put out the stuff for Santa. One cookie and a glass of milk.

Santa brought just what Whitnee wanted! A bicycle.

It was so sweet Christmas morning when we went to wake her up 'cause I told her Santa came and she rolled over and said ok and fell back asleep. When I finally got her out of bed we went into the living room and she asked where is Santa. :D It was so cute. She was very excited to see hre bicycle, and then to open her presents from mommy and daddy. We then headed over to my moms house to open presents, and enjoy family breakfast. I made a crock pot casserole. On the way to my moms Whitnee kept on saying something stinks it spells like dog poop. But thankfully the food was soo yummy!

While we were there we got some great pictures of Whitnee and my niece Bailey Grace, they were all dressed up and looked so pretty.

This is probably my favorite one! Whitnee sure does love Bailey Grace! It's crazy to think this time next year Whtinee will be 3, Bailey Grace will be 1 and walking, and then my sisters baby will be crawling! It's going to be a fun Christmas!

Three beautiful cousins! I sure do love these girls!!

After my moms we went to Church, then headed over to Michael's parents house again. His Grandma, and two Aunts from MO came over to spend Christmas with us. When we got there I made sure to do get family pictures.

I sure do love my little family!

Whitnee got a vacuum and vacuumed her little heart out. It was so sweet! She vacuumed everything!

Too sweet not to share.

After a long day of presents food and family we all settled in to watch Rio. Whitnee asked her daddy to lay with her and lay close. So I will end this very long post with one of the sweetest pictures ever. It's kinda blurry but I love that she wrapped her hand around her Daddys neck to pull him in close. I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and spent it with family!

Silver Dollary City

We have made a tradition in going to Silver Dollar City, with Whitnee. Last year we went with Stevie and Brian. This year we went with the Browns, Michael's family, and my niece Hannah. It was packed that day! Crazy packed like it usually is in the summer! We had fun any ways. I didn't realize at first that Hannah had never been to Silver Dollar City. When I found that out I was even more excited to take her! Michael's parents hadn't been there in years, and Daniel Michael's brother hadn't even been during Christmas either, so it was fun! We get season passes every year so we go multiple times through out the year. The weather was even perfect this weekend for it. Here are some pictures to show you how much fun we had.

Memaw and Pa. So so happy they got to go with us!

Ready to see Santa

Pa is one of Whitnee's favorite people in the world! She was so excited to get to ride the train!

So pretty!


We had fun, and I look forward to going back next year with Hannah in the spring or Summer when she can really ride the rides. Then of course going back next Christmas with our sweet little Princess. As she gets older it gets more and more fun to see how excited she gets with little things like this.

It's Beginning To Look..

A lot like Christmas! Thanksgiving has come and gone, and it was a great one! We spent the day at home, and then went to my moms. We split Thanksgiving every other year 'cause it's just easier for us. That and since Christmas is spent with both sides of the family. We had some great food, and some great football! I always enjoy spending the day with my siblings. It's crazy how close we have all gotten now that we are all older.

Now that Whitnee is older I'm beginning to do more crafty stuff with her. We have made cinnamon ornaments this year with Aunt Kisa, Whitnee really enjoyed it.

We also made Handpring ornaments this year. I always get us a new family ornament and then get Whitnee an ornament. Well this year to save money I thought hey why not make her ornament. She enjoyed doing this as well, here is a picture of our sweet princesses hand.

We have a holiday buddy with a group of girls that also have May 09 babies, and I'm going to send one to them with there gift. So excited about that!

We are also doing and advent calender of sorts. I found this idea on Pinterest you get 25 Christmas books and every night they get to open one and read it. Well Whitnee already gets 2 books read to her every night and LOVES books so I thought this would be great, and it would be a good addition to her books. When I first started collecting books I didn't think I would be able to get 25, but hey I did. :D I want to do this every year, and now that I have them I won't have to buy any more in the years to come. Here is a picture of all her books.

Next year we will add The Elf on a Shelf,, I feel as if Whitnee is to young to really understand that concept so we will try it out next year.

Here is my favorite part of this time of here, the decorations. I LOVE decorating for Christmas it makes the cold weather worth it. I was so excited that we were able to get a new tree this year. I will show you a picture of our tree last year and our tree this year, it's like night and day and makes me so happy! I love big trees and our first one just didn't cut it. So here you go.. the first tree and then our new tree..

Now here is our new tree

It's half a foot taller, and so much fuller. :D Funny thing is I think we spent less ont he new tree that is better then we did on the old tree. :D

We also got new decorations for the mantel thanks to Michaels parents

Well I thought we would be able to see it better, but I guess not, we got some rope light with some white star garland on it. It looks really pretty all lit up.

So I went Black Friday Shopping for the first time with Makisa, and Hannah, it was so much fun and yet soo crazy! We had a blast and I think I have finally caught up on sleep. I will say some people are so rude and if you are going to be rude during this time of year you need to just stay home.

Whitnee got a video of Santa and she was soo excited to see him! I can't wait to go to Silver Dollar City and see him in person.

Yet agian as Christmas gets closer I'm so excited to see how Whitnee reacts when she sees her bike from Santa, and to see just her pure excitment about everything. I am also thankful that we have such a great family and they all live close, and they choose to spend Christmas day with us and with our Princess. I'm always amazed at how much they all love Whitnee and how much they choose to spoil her. We are so blessed!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and are looking forward to Christmas as much as I am!

Friday Thru Sunday

So we will start with Friday. Where I left off. :D Fri Michael had the day off work. It was the best thing ever! I so enjoy the time he gets to be home with Whitnee and I. I think Whitnee does as well. She gets to play with her Daddy all day. She really enjoys it! Spoils her Daddy hard core! We ended up going to out to Michaels parents house to spend a little time with them and Michaels sister. She is in from San Franciso. That and we wanted to spend time with his parents for New Years Eve since we wouldn't be out there that night. We ended up having Stevie, Brian, my sister, and her boyfriend over and had yummy food, drinks, and board games. We had an absolute blast hanging out with everyone. Got my New Years Kiss from my amazing hubby!

Well Sat was a fun filled day! We went to Michaels Grandma's house in Mount Vernon to do Christmas with them. We all got spoiled hard core by everyone! Whitnee did really good! I think the cutest thing was watching Michaels Aunt Tish's new puppy following Whitnee. It was a 5 month old yorkie so they were like the perfect size for each other! LOVED it! Makes me realize more that Whitnee needs a puppy!

Today was the usually Church.

Tomorrow is the sad day! Becca goes back home. I'm really not looking forward to telling her goodbye!! Pretty sure I'm going to cry this time! Last time I was able to hold it togeather but I'm not sure if I can do it this time. We shall see and I'll let you know. :D

Busy Busy Busy

Busy seems to be my life now a days. I really need to start making time to blog every day that away I dont miss anything improtant that has happened. Nov brought alot of fun! We took our first family trip to see my dad. Whitnee flew on a plan for the first time and did amazing! We had a blast! I miss my Daddy o so much! It so nice to see him with an amazing woman and to see him so happy!

We were able to go with my brother and his wife. I love them so much! It amazes me every day that him and I would fight like cat and dogs when we were younger, but now we are like best friends. He is such an amazing man! And Chas well she's pretty amzaing, she has to be to put up with Stephen. :D


While in Vegas Tiffany's (Dad's wife) best friend did Chas and my hair. I absolutly love it and am so blessed that she did it. Well she was also amazing by making us a Thanksgiving dinner. It was the sweetest thing ever! She even pulled out the fine China for us, and made Whitnee her very own Princess spot. Such a sweet family!

When we got back home is was Thanksgiving time. We spent this year with Michaels family. It was a blast and of course there was way to much food eaten. :D

Then on came December. In one of the towns around here they decorate the square with pretty lights. I so love this time of year due to all the pretty lights! We actually put lights on our house this year. I LOVE them! We didn't have lights on our house growing up so that's one thing I want to do for our kids as they get older, It's as much for our kids as it is for me. :D Well we went down to the square with Hannah to look at the pretty lights. We had a blast!

We also went to Branson, and went to Silver Dollar City. Michael and I went last year but didn't take Whitnee 'cause I didn't want her to get sick since she was only 6 months then. Well I HAD to take her this year! She got to see Santa!! We all had a blast, and she did so good! It was FREEZING by the way. :D We went with some great friends of ours. Stevie and Brian. I absolutly love hanging with them! We just seem to be on the same level of life I guess you can say. They are just great people!
Christmas this year was AMAZING! Whitnee was so into opening her presents it was so much fun! She would first pull of the bow and then open the present. She then had to help everyone else open there's. It was great! I look forward to the years to come of not only seeing her excitment when she sees what Santa brings her but also teaching her the real reason for Christmas! She is such an amazing girl already. We have so much fun!!
Well I guess it's off to finish up the house cleaning and fixing my hair. We have another busy weekend. Tomorrow is New Years Eve and we have friends comeing over and then Sat we get to go to Mnt Vernon to have Christmas with more of Michaels family. Should be fun!! Be safe everyone!

Been A While

It's been a while since I've had a chance to blog. The poor Princess has been since, still not 100% better. She has an ear infection the doc said we caught it just in time. Soo your ear is suppose to look grey, well Whitnee's was pink, and it can get as bad as orange... eww!! So we are taking the pink bubble gum meds for that. Then she also has a cold so that bring a runny nose and a horrid cough. So we are taking Zertek for that. So I LOVE our doc he is one of the 3 we see. He just doesn't check her he tells us what he's doing. Whitnee thinks she needs to bang on the key board so here she goes.... n , .........................................., njjbn all done she is bored with it now well unless mommy starts to type LOL So it's been rather busy or well I'll say crazy at our house! She is getting better though.

So at what age can a kid start talking back because I'm pretty sure Whitnee has started at 7months. The other day she was getting into the tree and daddy said "Whitnee no ma'am" well Whitnee decided she needed to sit down tuck her head and look at her daddy and start going "grrrrrrgrrrrgrr" well this goes agian a 2nd time. I'm laughing so hard at that point I said geez I'm pretty sure she is talking back to you. It was the best thing ever! That girl is going to give is the run around one day. Dear Jesus please give us the wisdom to deal with it.

Christmas went well. It was a white one YAY!! We stayed out at Michaels parents house. Had a blast. This weekend will be a busy one. Thursday night we will spend the night at Michaels parents house again. Fri morning his Gma and 2 Aunts from MO are going to be in town to do Christmas with them. We weren't able to do it with them on Christmas day thanks to the snow. Then i'm not 100% sure what we will do Fri night. Maybe nothing, Sat during the day it'll be a veg day then off to my moms for Christmas and Twyla is going to make us breakfast YUMMY! We get to do Christmas with them and watch our Razorbacks play! I hope they bring it!

Hmm I think that's all for now. Whitnee still only has 2 teeth no news ones as of yet. :D Still wont let me take a pic. Little stinker! Speaking of pics Michael got me a new camera for Christmas YAY! More reason to figure out how to put pics on here.

Well time to finish cleaning. Till next time..

Thoughts

SOoo I found out today that my best friend is having a girl! I'm sooo excited! For them and for Whitnee, she will have a best friend now :D LOL



I love this time of year! Christmas is great! I look forward to seeing Whitnee's face when she wakes up and sees that Santa visited. I look forward to teaching her the real meaning of Christmas. I look forward to telling her about the real Santa. I look forward taking her to get her picture take when him.



I don't like how everyone gets grumpy at this time of year! It's suppose to be a thankful, happy time of year! The time of year when we celebrate our Savior's Birth! Then I'm hit with the thought that those grumpy people probably don't have the peace our God give us. Then I'm struck with the harsh feeling of I should have witnessed to them. God please give me the courage to speak next time. That's something I struggle with all the time!



So the poor princess has a head cold. Makes me feel so bad for her! Her poor nose is always running. I feel so bad for her! It doesn't' help that she is cutting teeth as well. Poor baby!



As Christmas gets closer I get more and more excited! I have yet to get all of Michael's shopping done LOL. We are getting Whitnee an car seat, it's one where she can sit up right, I sure hope she likes it better then her infant one. 'Cause mommy is ready to sit up front and her not scream in the back.



Sooo Michael and I got to go to Branson this past weekend and see the lights at Silver Dollar City. It was amazing! We went with some of our friends and there 2 kids. We really did have a blast! I look forward to making that a family tradition for us.

Well I guess that's all goal is to be in bed by 11... night night

Thoughts

So I've been think all day about a special family. The Crumby's they have a little girl who they have made the hard decision to take off of life support. Make a long story short they found out she had luekimia and now they are having to let God have his will. I work with the little girls uncle. I follow her story partly because so I can keep up with how she is doing then partly because of I get to see the streagnth God has given them. I can only hope and pray that if Michael and I ever had to go through something like that, that God would comfort us as well. I'm sure they have there bad days. I just still amazes me! I pray that we will never have to go through what they are going through with our Princess Whitnee! I ask now that you keep them all in your prayers as they will be needing them. As of 6ish is little Hannah was still with us. If it's Gods will she will be sitting on his lap soon.

Ok on to other news things. For those of you who use's this blog how do you know if someone comments on your post? LOL I've been going to my profile and seeing them there. HAHA

Nothing new to report with the Princess, she is still saying mamama all the time! She is such a hoot! :D I love her!

So my bff is expecting in May, she finds out what she is having on the 21st. I sooo can't wait. I'm praying it's a girl 'cause then she will be set with Whitnee hand me downs 'cause the seasons will be perfecto!

OO I went and had a massage yesterday thanks to my amazing Hubby who got it for me for my birthday back in Oct. It was AMAMZING! I told him that he could get it for me any time he wanted and I would be ok with that.

I'm really looking forward the Christmas's to come with Whitnee! I just remember how excited I was growing up and I look forward to being able to see that in her! I'm going to take her to see Santa this year. That should be interesting. I'm also going to get on this website where Santa sends a letter to the kids saying they have been a good girl/boy this year. I want to be able to tell her that he even gave her stuff when she was little to.

Well that's enough rambling for tonight! Untill next time! Night!

Winter

Sooo I really DONT like winter. I do not remember it being this cold last year! Maybe it's 'cause it has all hit at once, it was BEAUTIFUL, and now it's not. :( Or maybe it's 'cause I had my little heater in my belly last year. It amazes me to think she was in my belly this time last year! Where has the time gone? This time last year we were looking forward to finding out what she was. And well she was a she. Now my sweet baby girl is almost 7 months. She is having no problem crawling now, she has also found the tree and thinks it's fun to play with the branches she can reatch. Mommy lets her play as long as she doesn't start pulling. She also LOVES wires why? I dunno. She's such a goof! One thing I do like about it getting colder is that means Christmas decorations! I absolutly LOVE them! I love having the tree up, I also love when Hobby Lobby puts all of there Christmas stuff 50% off! They have some of the best stuff! I hope they keep it all on sell till next week when I get paid! Hmm I DO not like taking a shower when it's winter time, there is nothing worse then taking a nice warm shower and then having to get out and be freezing again. No fun! So we are tryng to decided wat to do for the Princess for Christmas. We wont be getting her a lot of stuf because one we dont have lots of money, who does now a days? And two 'cause she is going to be getting soo much stuff from everyone else. I do want to take her to get her picture taken with Santa. Not really sure what she will think of that. She likes some new people but then there are others that she just doesn't really take to, so it should be interesting. I keep going back and forth about getting her ears pierced. I REALLY want to, I dont really know what's keeping me back, 'cause Michael is ok with it. OO maybe that's what we will do for her Christmas present. See this is why I need to keep blogging, brings up ideas, get's my brain juices going. I really hope we have a good snow this year! I havn't seen a good snow in a VERY long time! Guess we will wait and see. Well I'm done rambling for tonight. Need to go and blow dry my hair and go to bed! I MUST get it bed before 10. We will see how well that goes. :D Goodnight all!
