Dec. 4 Weekend

This past weekend was another busy one! Chris finished the floor in our room- PTL!! Next weekend we should be getting baseboards in and maybe turn our attention to the bathroom? Maybe. Anyways, Saturday started out with my church playgroup's Baby Jesus Birthday party. The girls had a BLAST seeing all their friends, eating cupcakes and juice, singing to baby Jesus, and watching a nativity movie. Our priest came and blessed all the baby Jesus(es?) from our home's nativity. Here was our party from last year.

Sunday Uncle Tim and Ashley came over. Tim and Chris raked MORE leaves and put up Christmas lights, and we put up the Christmas tree and other decorations. We trimmed the tree Monday morning before Chris went to work.

Elia keeps bringing me ornaments from the bottom of the tree. So slowly, all of the ornaments are creeping up the tree out of her reach. She is obsessed with the glass balls- she calls them apples. She also loves the baby Jesus from our Cresh. I found baby Jesus in her trash can in her room this morning! So now its hidden until Christmas day.

I'm going to post pics of the new floor soon!

Last Weekend of November

My blogging has been off lately. It is the busiest time of the year after all! The last weekend of November was spent raking leaves and working on the room.

Elia loves to 'help.'

Love this picture of Chris putting lotion on the girl's faces. Cold air=chapped skin. My poor girls inherited my sensitive skin.

Leaves

I ditched the gym and the housework this morning to veg with the girls. After a bit of tv, we took a walk, which ended in the backyard. I decided to rake a few piles of leaves for the girls to play in. They had a blast. You could say I still got am arm workout.

My little helper.

Sister love.

Tired and thirsty after the morning!
