Christmas Eve!

It's hard to not reflect on all the past Christmas Eve's I have had in my life. This year will be different. I have never not been with my parents. Brooklyn told me today that her favorite part about Christmas was being with family and that she was sad that this year we were all broken apart. I suppose I'm not the only one affected. Regardless the kids are beside themselves with excitement! I'm so glad everything is ready to go so Jason and I can enjoy a relaxing evening together. Poor guy is going to need it after working graveyard the last two nights.
On Tuesday we got about 4in of snow and took the kids sledding, they had a blast! I had fun watching with Addalyn from inside the car! Addalyn does not like to be cold and I graciously volunteered to keep her in the the car. Unfortunately it warmed up later and the majority of it melted away which is really a shame since the rest of the week it's been and will be freezing and clear. It would've been so nice to have a white Christmas. I also didn't get a chance to post about my sweet little girl turning two last week. We decorated gingerbread house and although next year we'll make actual gingerbread, the kids still had fun. So after the festivities of tomorrow and next week it will be time to really start getting ready for our next baby girl to be here. It's been hard to really focus on that until the holidays are past us. Although the huge bulge I'm carrying around as well as the lack of flexibility make it pretty hard to ignore! So Merry Christmas to anyone that is out there still reading blogs!

Let it Snow?

Below is the forcast for the next 5 days. It should be really interesting to see how much so my town actually gets. So far we've only had some dustings. On Friday we went and got our Christmas tree and finally decorated the house for Christmas. We then went and watched our town's Christmas parade. It was actually pretty good but the fact that it was 23 degrees before the windchill should tell you we were FREEZING! We couldn't make it to the tree lighting or visit with Santa, even the lure of free hot chocolate couldn't entice us. As soon as the parade ended we ran to the car cranked up the heat and drove the 4 blocks home. Jason worked the weekend so the kids and I spent a lot of time cleaning. He also starts graveyard tomorrow, ughh, but at least he is only working 3 days a week and it will only be for this month.
