Christmas is Coming!

The holiday season is here! It's hard to believe how fast this year went by, and here we are, staring out from inside our windows at the snow blowing. We haven't had much snow yet this year, but it's only the beginning and a whole lot more to ~not~ look forward to.

Alexis and I are almost ready for Christmas! Our tree is up and decorated, and Alexis loves it! She, in fact, loves to take all the balls of the tree and throw them around and calls herself a "good girl" for it! It's actually kind of funny, but frustrating at the same time.



the same day I took her to see Santa!


I took her to see Santa last week, with her cousin Braelyn. I was so proud of her when she didn't cry. She didn't smile either, but that was to be expected! Braelyn on the other hand, screamed. She did not like Santa at all! I haven't had a chance to scan our Santa picture this year, but hopefully I will soon for you to see!

Alexis got over her night terrors when I decided to put a nightlight in her room, and she is finally hack to her waking up once in the night routine! And this makes Mommy happy!

Braelyn turned one on the 3rd of December! Hard to believe it's already been a year! Her birthday party was 2 days ago and that was a lot of fun! She did everything that I had wished Alexis did on her birthday...got cake all over her, opened her presents, was happy....lol She was just so cute! Alexis had fun at the party too! That was her 2nd birthday party she got to go to!


The Birthday Girl!




Matt finally came home from work for a few days! He didn't take Alexis over night, but took her for a day when I had to work, and then took her for a few hours one day, so I could get some cleaning of the house done and some laundry. I got some time in, to watch a movie and relax, and it was good. I know Alexis misses him, and I wish he was home more for her to spend time with him. But in the end, it's his choice and what he decides to do for work and coming home, is up to him. I have no idea when he will be home again now. But hopefully soon, for Alexis' sake!

But, who knows? right?
