1. Christmas is in the air in the Case home. Decorations are up, gingerbread houses are made, numerous light strands creating beautiful ambient lighting are displayed & seasonal music and videos are playing. Packages are being wrapped (and hidden!), and all is jolly. Now, with the addition of freshly baked cookies(hello Saturday)..all will be perfectly well.
2. A visit to Santa Clause was a partial success. Makenna Claire loved it (Rylan held onto me with a death grip) and she told Santa all the things she likes (princesses), as well as what Rylan would like (elmo). Even though the picture was a little less than to be desired, it was a magical moment for Makenna.
3. The elf is a frequent visitor in our home and as opposed to last year where MC wasn't into it, she now wakes up in the morning and hunts for him. We are still searching for the right name for him, but the magic is of this little spy is definitely in our home. She is also really enjoying the advent calendar. To be a kid again...
4. I still need to work on those Christmas cards. Better yet, I still need to get that picture for that so named Christmas card. Oops! Seeing that we have yet to receive the bulk of our friends and family's cards, I know that I am not alone. :)
5. Rylan is really good at taking a nap, but for the last two months or so has done so in an odd fashion. You see, despite my best efforts to convince him to snooze in his bed, all snuggled up in his warm blanket surrounded by the things he loves, he insists on sleeping in his car seat. In the car. In the garage. So...now when gets tired, he grabs his coat, paci and shoes and heads to the garage door. NO JOKE and not at all an exaggeration. Once buckled in the car, wrapped in blankets and now a winter hat, a trip around the block is his lullaby and he naps in the comfort of his own garage. Silly silly kid.
6. Good thing I started to work on this post yesterday because within the half hour of MC going to bed last night, she woke up with evidence of the stomach flu. :((( I thought our kids just might escape this evil bug, but not so! So after a long night and now a day of cuddles, movies and more snuggles, ( and a few broken ornaments from the tree by bored Rylan), we are hoping she is on the mends and tomorrow will be much better.
7. And hoping the bullseye won't point to others in our home.
8. And hoping this momma might be rejuvinated after a decent nights sleep. So tired right now...:(
9. Is that too much to hope for? lets hope not.
10. I might, I just might, have a few more scrapbook pages to share tomorrow. or Thursday. A few are in the works. ;) See you then.
xo, K
