Man, it was beautiful out today! It was almost nice enough to skip naps and play outside...but not quite. Although, we did go straight outside as soon as the girls woke up and got a good bike ride in.
Well, the holiday bustle has certainly arrived! On Saturday, Dec 1 we gave the kids their first Christmas present of the year. We got them their own nativity set (Little People) and they loved it. Shawn sat down with all the kids and taught them "the true meaning of Chrismtas". Can you picture our 3 year old, 2 year old and 9 month old sitting there listening? Yes, that is pretty much a miracle in itself. But, something must have stuck because Austin and Ashlyn are obsessed with Baby Jesus now. Ashlyn carries him all over the house and they are constantly getting in wrestling matches over him. I'm not so sure that is what Jesus would want, but hey it still entertains them!
Today my good friend Emily watched my kiddos so I could finish up Christmas shopping which surprisingly is almost totally finished! yeah! We got all our Christmas gear out and decorated up so now we are just patiently awaiting the arrival of Santa.
Besides getting ready for Christmas I am also getting ready for our first annual Girls Getaway! A couple of my "mom friends" and I are spending the weekend together with no kids, lots of shopping, no kids, some pedicures, no kids and lots of wine and did I mention no kids? Can't wait!!
Gotta cut this short to help the kids get to bed -
Hope you are having the time of your life!
