From my family to yours! Wishing you all the best in 2013!

I love December!!

32

It is my 32nd birthday today! I have no idea where the time has gone. I suppose i am where i thought i would be at this age, married with a kid and working. Fun times. I did notice that my back hurt a lot when i woke up..let the good times roll! I am going to rock 32 like no one has rocked it before! Thanks to all my family and friends for making it a special day.

Fun weekend!

We had a fun weekend and things are beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! All the lights are up downtown and it´s really beautiful!!! Santa´s village is back, which was a big hit last year and I can´t wait to take Nora to see the Big Guy. I will be 32 on Sunday. How did that happen? Regardless, December is THE BEST month EVER! Happy December to all!!!!!!

blood, sweat, and tears.

There is nothing like waking your 2 year old daughter up early so she can have her blood drawn. She has an unknown allergy that we are trying to figure out, and this is the only wa to do so. It was SO sad. I always made A take her to get her shots because my heart just breaks and I end up crying! I had to hold her on my lap, her legs between my legs, and hold one arm down. She did not thrash around or anything, but I don´t think she knew what was coming. I had been telling her about it for a few days, and then when we got there I was like, ¨cool! you will be able to see your blood!¨ Not cool when the needle went in her arm! PLUS her veins are so tiny that it made it harder and slower.¨ She was like, ¨Ouch mommy, it hurts.¨ Saddest. Thing. Ever. So, basically I´ve been letting her be a spoiled brat all morning! Donuts and all. Poor. Little. Lamb.

ps. we are in separate rooms and she just screamed, ¨MOMMY! I AM HAPPY!¨ well then. my job here is done.

It´s cold!

It was chilly last night...40s, so we got bundled up. Everyone else was freezing, but I felt great! ha...must be those Indiana winters that I´m so used to, I¨m also gearing up for Chicago in a few weeks. Welcome December. What a great month to be born! So, last year as the first year at the mall that they made a ¨Santa Village¨ and it´s the cutest thing ever. I´m so happy with it. They have a huge carousel, of course you can sit on Santa´s lap, they have windows with animated stories, and amazing X mas music. I could just stand there all day and listen to the music! OH and don´t forget the fake snow! Nora had a blast, and it made me want to take her to a snowy place ASAP because she loved it so much! Maybe next year we can take her to IN!
