Vacay!!

I am officially on vacation until December 28th.. and it could not have come at a better time. I am ready for a break. I am sure not too many people have sympathy for me since I only work 3 days a week.. but my goodness those three days are crazy. In the past it has been hard for me to enjoy Christmas because people are always so grouchy this time of year.. obviously I deal with the public and almost everyone I deal with is sick or has sick kids so it is understandable.. but when they are grouchy it makes you grouchy too. Josh and I have been off these past two years around Christmas and it just makes us enjoy it so much more.

Brynn is so excited about Christmas. I don't think she really understands the concept but she loves the lights and the trees. When we are in the car she will point out all the lights to us. She will say "Ho,Ho,Ho" when she sees Santa on TV.. it is so cute! We are suckers and already gave her one of her presents.. her kitchen set. We have other presents for her to open closer to Christmas but Josh was putting it together and we just decided to go ahead and give it to her. I think it was money well spent.

'Tis the Season!!

This weekend is crazy busy for us.. we have party after party!! Today my cousin's bridal shower was at 1 in Vincennes.. she was nice enough to be understanding enough that Brynn and I didn't come. We had originally planned on it but then found out Brynn had to go to the doctor this morning to get her booster since this is the 1st year for her getting her flu shot. Thanks Jenny!! We will be at the wedding with bells on!!

This evening is my works Christmas party. I am looking forward to it. There will be lots of little kids. We are a 24 hour store which means we NEVER close so someone is always workings.. so we aren't able to get together very often throughout the year. We get people to work at our store so everyone is able to come to the Christmas party. I am excited for Brynn to get to play with the other little kids. I hope she doesn't bite anyone.. she has been a little bully lately. I will have to keep my eye on her.

Tomorrow we have a birthday party to go to. One of Brynn's friends and my co-workers daughter's 2nd birthday party. It is at Tumble Express where they take gymnastics so it should be a good time. Addie, the birthday girl, has more energy than anyone I have ever met. Every week at gymnastics it is entertaining to watch her run around and I am sure tomorrow will be no different.

Then tomorrow night we are hosting Josh's work party here. I am a little nervous. I have had lots of things for my co-workers here but nothing for his yet.. so I always get nervous when I am hosting a group for the 1st time. I think I am ready but I always feel like there is something I forget.

After this weekend we don't really have any parties.. our friends are having a holiday party next weekend in Valpo but Josh is going to Alabama for the weekend so we won't be able to go!!

Does it ever end?!?!

I know I should just be thankful I have a big home to clean.. but honestly I don't think the cleaning ever ends! Every day I feel like I am starting all over. I guess that is the joys of having a 17 month old!! Honestly if someone knocked on my door right now to come over for a surprise visit I would be so embarrassed. I told myself when we moved into our new home that I was going to keep it spotless. I would swift or mop the floors every day... well lately that has been falling to the wayside. I did good for almost 2 years.. that should count for something, right?!?

I Wuv You Too!

So Brynn talks more and more with each passing day. It is so fun to hear the new words she learns and ones she attempts to say.. but I have to say that my favorite things she says now is " I Wuv you too!" It just melts my heart. You have to say it to her about ten times before she catches on and says it back but it is so sweet when she does. When I have a bad day at work and I hear her say that it makes all my sorrows go away!
