Christmas Eve

Update of the family

My girls are so excited about Christmas. Gabrielle tells me everyday what she wants from Santa. We've had conversations about we don't always get what we want and that's okay because we are thankful for things that we have. The next day she forgets that talk. It's a constant circle with her. I hate to disappoint her but she will not be getting Biscuit the FurReal Dog for Christmas.

Anyway, Hannah is doing so well in her class. I talk to her teacher on a weekly basis and I had lunch with Hannah on my Birthday last week at her school. It was a holiday lunch, very special. I forget to bring my camera to show everyone. They had the piano playing and candles on the table. We had turkey, gravy, mash potatoes, dressing, green beans and a roll, and you cant forget the chocolate milk. lol
I got a couple of hugs from the other kids. I helped tie some shoes. It was a great afternoon.
Hannah's teacher said she is doing so well that she past 2 of the 3 tests to be excepted in the accelerated program. The third test will be after the holidays. I am such a proud momma!

It's Taleia's turn. :) It's amazing how fast they get bigger and even faster when they have older siblings. She is talking full sentences, using the potty chair sometimes. Some people think I'm slacking on that but I am in no rush to get rid of the diapers. I hate pull ups. I think that they takes longer for kids to get potty trained. So in the Spring when it gets warmer we will do it full force potty training boot camp! lol

So my Birthday was last Wednesday. I am 26! I finally bought a woman coat for myself. It's a black wool peacoat with a hood. I think that's what people call them, peacoat? Very City like, I love it! If you know me, you know I hate coats, they are bulky, hot, I feel that they restrict my movement. So I've always wore a heavy hoodie. Not only that but my husband bought me my first Dooney&Bourke!!!!!! It's supposed to be a Christmas present but I picked it out a couple of weeks ago and when it had a really good price at Macy's, so I told my husband about it. So It is wrapped and put away. I feel really good this year, like I haven't left myself out.

My husband turn 30 this summer. He works really hard. I should give him more credit for our happiness. I tell him sometimes what he's missing out, like the lunch at Hannah's school. But I see that it's my benefit bc I stay at home. I'm not a father so I don't know what the balance should be. My father was a workaholic and climbed the ladder and once he was on the top he worked long hours and was dead tired when he got home. I think that's what I see sometimes my when I see my husband. He's doing so good and improving at his job that he's going to miss things at home. I just had a light bulb moment. They should have a father daughter out to dinner night.

Goals for next month- I am going to get Gabrielle's school shots early because they have kindergarten round up in February for all day kindergarten. So I really hope that we get in the program.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
