I tried to sit back and enjoy the calm that this Christmas weekend brought, because I know this little girl who currently stays in one place will be all up in everything’s bizness next year. She probably had no clue what the celebration was about, but she certainly enjoyed the lights on the tree and playing with wadded up balls of wrapping paper.
We spent lots of time just staring at the tree and, like always, playing with our feet.
..and more practicing sitting up all by ourselves!

Man, was it a tough struggle convincing Grandpa & Grandma Harris to make the drive from Idaho and spend the long weekend with us.
Not.

I’m so glad Elise got to share her first Christmas with them, even though she has no idea why she suddenly came into a wealth of new clothes, books & toys.
Speaking of toys…..
{we named her Shelby….like the Mustang}
Maybe it’s just because I’m her mom, but I think this video —-> Giddy Up <—-is totally worth a minute of your time.
Am I right….or am I right?
