A lot has happened! Our computer was out of commission for quite some time. We turned our "office" into Daley's new bedroom over Christmas Holidays and therefore had to take out our computer. Since then I convinced Zach to bring it back into civilization until our bonus room above our garage is done being built. We also have since finished Daley's new bedroom and are working on Demi's nursery and our bonus room. Believe me I will be so proud of our accomplishments I will post many pics as soon as we have it all complete. I feel like so much is happening around us right now. I will try to be brief since there is always so much to say about Christmas!
First, we were able to go and get Demi's 4D ultrasound! This was such an exciting experience! We did not do one of these for Daley because they are awfully expensive, but luckily we have a loving Mimi who was dying to see a 4D ultrasoud and was generous enough to take us to see this miracle. It truly is a miracle that technology has advanced enough to perform these types of things! I was in awe!
Second, we experienced Daley's first Christmas program! This is a mother's dream! I was so proud and so surprised. For months she had been singing Jingle Bells and I assumed this would be the only song her class sang, but little did I know that when I arrived she would be listed as a SOLOIST in the program! Her class sang 3 songs and she had a solo to Jingle Bells and it was the most beautiful rendition of Jingle Bells I have ever laid my ears upon :)
Third, we went and had our picture made with Santa! This was quite the accomplishment given that she has all but hated him in years past. We literally offered her anything she wanted in the mall if she would just not SCREAM! She did not scream.....she doesn't have the most lovely expression on her face, but there was no crying. She ended up getting a ginger bread man from the Cookie Co. and a sucker and a new Christmas book from Books A Million. She really did all she could not to cry and I was happy to get her what I promised.
We had a snow day somewhere in the middle. Sadly, I don't really even remember when this was, but pregnancy brain will do that to you. And, living in Alabama these happenings are few and far between so you had better get a picture! Believe it or not, it has snowed both years of Daley's life so far!
And at last we had a a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior! We of course spent a wonderful time with our families and were spoiled, spoiled, spoiled by their kindness and generosity. We are truly blessed and look forward to holidays in the future with our ever growing family!
