Christmas 2010

Where has the time gone?! Christmas was nice. I only took time to put up the tree....all other decor stayed in the boxes. I had way too much going on. Every other year I have L'il C before Christmas and cram everything fun in that we can. I like making memories more than having a decorated home...thank goodness. :)

One morning she and a friend went to have brunch with Santa. That was fun.

The 3 of us also enjoyed the Christmas Train. My camera isn't that great so the pictures at night were mostly blurry. Here we are on the train.


L'il C had a major event....starring in the lead role of her school Christmas play. She was ecstatic. She played the role of Dr. Newheart in the play A New Heart for Christmas. She even had 4-5 solos that she did an amazing job singing. My heart smiled. She makes me so proud.

Christmas Eve was when we decided to celebrate Christmas since L'il C went to her dad's at 2 p.m. We wanted to give her time to play with her presents and have a nice Christmas dinner as a family.


(Spoiler Alert:)

This year we did have a discussion about Santa, The Toothfairy, and The Easter Bunny not being real. She says she figured it out last year but some of her questions were a little to sweet, sincere, and with hope. So I am saying it wasn't until this year. I must say I was very sad the fairy tales came to an end. She is most excited about pretending with her new little sister though.

19 Weeks

One week away from half way. It is hard to believe! I went to the doctor yesterday. He made it a point to tell me that it is STILL a girl. :) Whew! No sex changes in the last month.

I finally have a small baby bump. I gained 2 pounds this month. People will actually start believing I am pregnant. Every time I told someone I was pregnant they would look at my belly and let me know that I didn't look it. Which at 2 months, DUH!-the baby is miniscule. But by 5 months I thought I would be HUGE since this is my second child. I am very happy with only gaining 2 pounds so far.

Dr. N showed me the ultrasound but didn't print any pics off for me. So I don't have an update. But she is growing and is healthy. Woo hoo! L'il C reminded me again last night that I was having a girl. She is really cracking me up.

In all honesty, I am thankful (not that I could change it! ha) that my girls will be 10 years apart. I have really cherished raising L'il C. The bond we have is worth more to me than gold. She truly is an incredible kid!

It's All About Me

Being that today is my birthday I would just like to say, "Yes, today IS all about ME!" :) This has been the "law" since I was born. In my family, a person's birthday is a big ole deal!

Therefore, just in case you want to adapt this "law" you may need to know that we apply the same rule of thought to "half birthdays". :) There is always a good reason to have a party.

We did the family dinner Monday night so I have really been partying for a few days.

I was surprised this morning with breakfast, scrambled eggs and toast with peanut butter and honey, from L'il C and Brad when I got out of the shower. It was a most yummy idea that L'il C had. (Brad's thoughts don't start processing til later in the day.) :)

I didn't have a thing planned so I went to several different stores and did some shopping. I met Brad for lunch at Olive Garden. It too was yummy. I gorged myself on my fettuccine alfredo , breadsticks, and their famous salad.

Went and shopped some more. Found my delicious favorite Dublin Dr. Pepper at a specialty shop. Bought some.

Then after L'il C got home from school we went and watched Tangled together in 3D. This was a super cute princess movie. We really enjoyed it.

I received a lot of birthday wishes. I LOVE the feature on facebook that tells everyone it is your birthday. It just makes it that much more fun when other people can celebrate with you. Anytime I see a birthday on facebook I make sure I wish that person a Happy Birthday! Because those days are all about them....and without them I wouldn't have any friends. :)

But today......is all about me! :) Happy Birthday Me!!
