Santa is coming, and we still have a bunch to do before he gets here!!!! However, while Gwen is busy playing with some friends, I will take the time to update on our happenings. After a rough start to this month (me being sick for a week) things have settled down a bit and Christmas decor is now up. Gwen has participated in it all. We recently purchased a new artificial Christmas tree, and she helped play with the box it came in and put the ornaments on. She has also been enjoying the musical decorations, like a reindeer that sings, as much as possible. Here she is when she discovered that it sings:
Reindeer dancing! Oh, what fun!!!!!
Here is Gwen showing everyone how she is such a great helper!
"I can show Christmas spirit"
"I can help Mommy and Daddy watch The Polar Express, and dance with the elves too"
"I can help put ornaments on the tree"
Some other fun pictures:
The first present under the new tree ;-)
Our masterpiece
Along with decorating our house for Christmas, and putting lights outside on the front porch, we also celebrated my birthday (and Auntie Erin's) on the 16th. We all went to Gram and Poppy's house to have dinner. It was a lot of fun and great to be with everyone.
Gwen helped open my presents. She really liked this one.
Gwen also helped me blow out the candles on the cake, but was a little nervous with so many candles.
Gwen's new favorite toy...the other Gwen!!!!!
So pretty! Gwen and Daddy ready for a Christmas party
Not only did Gwen help unwrap this box, but she also turned it into a race car!
Gwen and Auntie A were having a blast
