Nearly Here

It is so hard to believe that Christmas is just 2 days away. It always breaks my heart that the anticipation is so huge and then it only lasts one day. It seems to come faster and faster every year. Kelly and I both had from Thursday until Boxing Day off, I just work 4 hours tomorrow, so it has been really nice to spend the last few hectic days together. Not much else new around here, just waiting for the big day. Grace enjoys sitting on the presents under the tree, she uses them as a chair, the ones she likes to sit on are her own and one for Avery, so that's not too bad. I've discovered my cats are sleeping on them too. Grace had a little party at her Day Care on Thursday and Kim, that's who runs it, got them all a little gift. Grace got a little baby, he's very cute, she seems to quite like him. I hope that you enjoy the holiday season. Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you.

Finally Better!

Well Gracie has just spent almost the last week under the weather. She was throwing up Saturday and then just couldn't shake it, until finally yesterday she started eating and this morning she woke up in a very good mood, thank goodness. It has been a long week. With power outages and snow yesterday, we couldn't get a tree, we had to go the store and buy one, to a super busy week at work, I am glad to be on days off. Kelly, Grace and I got the tree decorated this morning and most of the decorations up. My parents bought Grace a "Little People" Nativity Scene, it's so cute, here's a picture. We are almost completely ready, just a few last minute things to pick up today and that's it. I may even do some baking. Hope you are all enjoying the Holiday season.

15 Months and Growing Fast

It is so hard to beleive the Grace is already 15 months old, it really does just fly by. I have almost completed my Christmas shopping, just a few easy ones left. We went to Nanaimo today, wow, pretty good though for line ups, we went early so that was probably why. Not much new around here though, Kelly's dad got back from Mexico on Sunday and he came by last night, looking nice and tanned, they had a ton of fun. Grace quite enjoys the snow, especially since I taught her how to through a snowball :P She is growing up so fast and we really have to watch what we say because se repeats everything and quite often even gets the words right, pretty amazing. She insists on wanting to walk everywhere, she doesn't like her stroller after being in her carseat, mind you who could blame her, but still that makes for a very rough shopping trip. I can't do it by myself anymore, ah well. I am going to start decorating the house tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes, we are a little nervous about the tree this year but I think we are going to try and anchor it to the wall, so that it will be a little safer. Well that's about it from here for now.
