Christmas is Coming & So is Sydney !

Wow, I can not believe that Christmas is only 11 days away! It is so crazy and it has come up so fast this year! Jayda has been having lots of fun getting into the holiday spirit. For one, she has been to see Santa 3 times already! Last year she was SO scared of him and this year she can not get enough of him. She asks where he is all the time and wants to go back to the mall and see him all of the time. It's pretty funny. The first time we went she told santa she wanted some pink boots for Christmas. We got her picture done and after we left she said "Where are my pink boots mommy?" I started laughing so hard and after thinking about it kinda made sense. She thought she'd go there and tell Santa what she wanted and he would pull it out right then and there and give it to her. So, I explained to her how he's going to come to her house on Christmas Eve and leave the presents and so on. It was so fun watching the light bulb go off as she listened to what's going to happen at Christmas. She is SO excited for Christmas she can't hardly wait! We also got her Christmas pictures done last week and they turned out really cute!

Last wednesday Michelle and Riley invited us over to do Christmas crafts. The girls had a blast making all kinds of Christmas ornaments with their hand prints and foot prints, glitter, paint, beads and all kinds of cool stuff!

On thursday morning I had a dr's appt. and afterwards we went to Chuck E. Cheese and of course she had a ton of fun. I usually take her there after my appointments so that she has something fun to look forward to and as an incentive for her to be good with mommy at the doctor's office.

This past weekend my wonderful husband and wonderful mom painted Sydney's nursery. It turned out beautiful and I absolutely love it! Thank y'all so much!!! The last step is to move the furniture in and decorate and it will be all ready to go, woo hoo!! Did I mention little miss Sydney will be here in 7 short weeks?!!
