after the weekend, a little more shopping, and a Christmas party.

Here I am. Early morning, typing away. Drinking warm, caramel flavored, vanilla roasted coffee. Listening to Josh Groban's Noel, and to my babe gumping away, whilst crawling all over the floor. 

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Christmas is only days away. It must be that lack of snow that has me convinced that it must be at least a month away still. Oh, well. At least we're all ready! The pile of gifts under the tree keeps growing, as we keep thinking of more wonderful gifts for folks. 

Adam has tomorrow off, and he and the Wee One are going out to buy a couple more last-minute gifts. I have a lot of house cleaning, laundry washing and packing to do. Then bright and early on Thursday monring we head up to Vermont for a few days.

Anyway, here are the pictures from our weekend.

More pictures of the tree, just because I love it's sparkliness, and I can't stop adding more ornaments here and there to it.

This little lady has been growing more than ever these past few weeks. Her cuteness is just plain overwhelming sometimes. Adam and I left her, with my mom and dad Sunday afternoon, when we went out to do the last of our shopping. It was the first time that I had left her other than going to work, or to run a super quick errand, and for some reason it just felt different. Of course she was such a big girl, and had a wonderful time with her aunties, way more fun than going into crowded stores, full of hurrying people...

On Saturday night Julia had everyone over to her place for a Christmas party. We had so much fun. Pizza, nachos, and It's A Wonderful Life. That's what the Holiday's are really for, spending time, and being grateful for those you love :)

The other morning, Wee One in her new walker that Daddy got her for Christmas. She LOVES it and has been scooting all over the place in it!

Wrapping, wrapping, and more wrapping! I was so pleased with the last of our gifts that we got. We found the perfect things, for just the right people. Thank God for Barnes And Noble!

Our shelf in the living room, that I keep stocked with candles...so nice on Winter evenings to light them all and have that cozy glow.

Have a Merry Christmas!
