Well with Christmas almost upon us I've been WAY too busy to blog :( This year we've been really behind on everything, mostly because so much is happening in such a short amount of time for us. We finally got both of our Christmas trees up and decorated, we had a lot of fun picking out our tree this year but we did it as fast as possible since it was freezing out side!! Once we picked out our tree Dublin and I ran to sit in the warm car and watch Little Einstein's while Steve took care of cutting, netting and paying for the tree. After that we were definitely in need of some yummy hot cocoa in front of the fire, instead we decided we couldn't wait and started to decorate the tree.

We also had a blast going to our Christmas creche and looking at the thousands of different nativity scenes. It was really beautiful and a lot of fun. Dublin had a blast making an ornament and coloring in the children's activity room, then Grandpa and him played some soccer and he was hooked! He did not want to leave that ball behind! Haha

But one of my favorite things that we did this month was our annual trip to Candy Cane Lane... every house on the block decorates, and they go all out! It really is amazing to see. Dublin just loved seeing all the lights and different decorations every time he saw something new he would say "oh whoa!" He was just in awe the whole time we were there, he kept trying to to touch all the different decorations that moved. I can't wait to go back next year :)

Now we're just prepping for Christmas and New Years, I finally got all the Christmas gifts and got them wrapped and put under the tree. I bought everything that we need for our big Christmas Eve dinner with family and Christmas morning breakfast! It feels good to check all these things off my check list.

And to make everything even better we finally finished painting the baby nursery!!! Now all I need to do is put all her stuff in there and decorate and I'm done!!! This is all thanks to Caitlin who has spent multiple days over here doing the things that I can no longer do, so THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH CAITLIN!!! I'll post some pictures of the room when it's all done, now I need to get back to work and stop blogging.
