Its beginning to look a lot like christmas!

 So its beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. I do enjoy thanksgiving but I LOVE Christmas. And with the craziness that comes in December for us, like the 13, thats right 13, Christmas parties we must attend, I'm taking the time to ENJOY Christmas now.

So for that reason, my tree is up....

 

What a moment when Tayla got to experience her first Christmas tree moment...

 The rest of the house is all decorated out too...

Tayla is growing up so fast! She is definitely changing and looks nothing like when she was a newborn... Can't wait to see how much else she changes!

Frustration and Excitement spill over

It has been one roller coaster kind of week emotionally. Work itself was filled with ups and downs. They are trying to push me into a new shift that I do not like. Its more than not like, its straight out despising it! But time will tell whether or not I get the choice to switch or not. I am still enjoying assisting bringing new life into the world so I can still say I love my job.

With the highs and lows at work it brings me more and more excited for Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. I love Christmas decorations. I actually just asked my husband before he walked out the door if I could hang Christmas lights up. He rolled his eyes as usual and said "Do what you want". I don't think I'll really hang them up today, I should rest for I work tonight, but I make no promises about the rest of the week.... :)

Tayla's 1st Road Trip!

 This last weekend was an adventure to say the least. We left around noon on saturday and drove three hours to visit a cousin of ours. Then on sunday made another 1.5 hr trip to see an old college friend of mine, had lunch with her and her little on who is 6 weeks younger than Tayla. We then drove 2.5 hours to see my sister at college and then drove another 1.5 hours home. We were gone 27 hours and considering we were either driving, sleeping, or eating it was an adventure. Here's some of the highlights...

Auntie Becky teaching Tayla to 'chill' in the Hotel

Tayla slept most the trip!

We had to improvise the nightly bath time :)

Long story but this is my sister Becky.

Josiah and Tayla. He may be 6 weeks younger but he's about 4 lbs heavier

Our first attempt at a photo of the two... LOL
