I havent posted lately-I have just been too busy. The holidays are here in full force! I love it! We went to visit rudy's family last weekend for Christmas. I still have not unpacked from that trip and am hoping to get a serious "holiday cleaning" done tomorrow night. Work has been insane. cookie exchanges, secret santas, christmas games, tomorrow is the company wide food day, holiday lunches out with our bosses, white elephants....its been crazy- fun, but busy. I am ALMOST done wrapping....I have now officially puti n 8.5 hours of wrapping this year and have only a few left to wrap. I tell you- I could go nuts with paper, bows, ribbons, package decorations- I have to tame myself. One gift in particular I have wrapped and unwrapped 4 times because I just cant get the paper to look right. My dad always taught us....half of the present is how it looks.

Vaughn is SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS. There is an inflatable santa at the neighbors and in the wind it looks like its waving to her. She tells it good night and when we get out of the car she YELLS "I love you SANTA....I am being good....you watch!" and she waves good night to it. Its a sure way to keep her behaving. :) I am so excited for her this year. She just loves everything so much she will be such a fun girl to watch open gifts. I cannot get enough of her. Her hugs and kisses, her yelling "love you more mama!" her songs, stories and giggles. It brings me to tears. She is my favorite gift I have ever gotten. She's my bestest.

I dont have many pictures becuase i am plum too tired to upload them. I should post photos of our new home, our projects, my girl, our tree...but i have to wait...at least until tomorrow when i have more energy:)

I wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful BLESSED, meaningful new year.
