Yesterday was a great day. I needed it! Church had thier childrens program that was really cute- it was very different than the "traditional program" (which i miss seeing) but was interactive and a neat way to get a glimpse into the life of that time when Christ was born...you really felt like you were walking the busy streets of bethleham. We came home and Matt and Maria came over for lunch and shortly after rudy came too. We sat around for HOURS until about 7 ish at night just playing board games and cards. We took VE's Christmas photos. I didnt like the family ones so I am just using the ones of her for the cards. (which i am excited to get sent out.) I cannot believe Christmas is just a week and a half away! we are going to Bettendorf this weekend to do Chrismtas with Rudy's family. I really hope the weather cooperates as I do not want to travel if the roads are nasty.
Oh yeah- we had our cookie exchange on Saturday as well with the women from church. It was fun- we got lots of delish cookies and some great girl time in.
VE has been going to sleep SO EARLY!!! Like 5:30 or 6 ish!!! I cannot keep her awake and if i do it is complete chaos due to her being so tired! She must just be growing so much or something. She sleeps all night too. Last night she went to sleep at 10 til 6 and slept til 7:30 this morning! I guess if she needs the sleep.....!?? We are transitioning to one nap per day so that might be causing the need for extra sleep...maybe she is not ready for the transition?? Who knows. Sigh.
We are going to stay inside this week as much as possible. It is -2 outside right now with a windchill of - 24. Yup negetive 24. Thats winter in iowa for you....no snow though. i hate that. if its going to be butt cold then it should at least be snowy and pretty right? Hopefully there will be snow on Christmas at least. I really need to run to the store and get some food for VE but I will not be taking her out in this weather. the news said frostbite will occur within just a couple minutes to any exposed skin! YIKES!!!! So I will either be getting creative or having someone else stay home with her. Well I gotta go tend to the babe....will do better about writing daily and will post pics later today!
