'Tis The Season

It's that time again. I really can't believe how quickly this year has passed by. 2 more "sleeps" until Christmas Eve. We can't really decide how Christmas will go for MG this year - it will either be the best yet or the worst yet! Ha! She's to the age now that she knows what she wants and made herself a long Christmas list each time we went to the store. But she also hates any kind of attention so opening presents may not go so well. We shall see!

Speaking of Christmas lists, she was so funny this year. Each time we went anywhere (Dollar Store, Walmart, Target, didn't matter!) she would ask for my phone to take pictures of everything she wanted! Any and everything princess was on her list. And her most requested item? Some princes! She has princesses of all sizes, but really needed some princes for them to marry!

Jamey and I both really thought she'd be all about Christmas lights this year, but she really could care less! She wanted our house decorated and wants them turned on every night, but she's not really into driving around and looking at lights. The Christmas tree hasn't been as big of a hit as I thought, either. She had fun decorating it, but past that, it's just there for looks! The one decoration that she is all about is an old wooden nativity set that a friend of my mom's made her years ago. It's really neat. MG loves to act out the Christmas Story with it. And she's really good at telling it! That makes me so happy. I'm so glad she's getting to understand the true meaning of Christmas. I don't want it to be all about Santa or gifts - I hope we can teach her and show her the true meaning.

Of course it's the season of sickness, too! MG and I are both sickly things right here before Christmas. I've been fighting it for a couple months now and it finally hit full force. Of course the next day she came down with it, too. Cough, sore throat, and all that snotting, snorting, hacking fun! We hit up Walmart last night and bought out the cold/flu aisle so hopefully we'll both be well soon!
