Another catching up post!

With Christmas fast approaching, it seems are weekends are filled with fun activities. I am getting tired out! I am sure a combination of the pace plus the pregnancy. Not that I am complaining-- I love that we are able to share this season's festivities with Leah! So, here is recap of our fun and busy weekend!

The first weekend in December:
Joe and I went to Iowa to visit friends while Leah got to spend time with Nonna and Grandpa. Then, Aunt Vicky picked her up for a couple of days of fun in Duluth.

The Second weekend in December:
Saturday: Swim Lessons, Leah's new furniture arrives, Leah's Christmas Program, Out to dinner with the grandparents. Leah was so exhausted that she did not eat dinner, but did have some appetizers) -- did I mention she got up at 4:30am!

Swim Class:

Love this picture I got of Leah at Swim Class!

Leah's New Room:

Joe hand crafted this "Leah"- I think he did an amazing job!

Joe painted Leah a White Board and attached it to the back of her desk (under the bed).



Leah loves her new bedroom! She played in her room all afternoon while Joe and I got the room all set up. This is very unusual - Leah never plays in her room!

Christmas Program:
Leah with her teachers- Miss Brandy, Miss Amanda

Leah even had a small part!

Sunday: After Sunday School, I attempted to bake some Spritz Cookies with Leah, however, she had no interest except to put the sprinkles on the cookies (which only lasted 3 sheets). So, I ended up making them alone. Then, Leah, Nonna, Uncle Dan, Cousin Thea, and I went to see "Disney on Ice- Princess Classics." Leah fell asleep on the way home while eating Popcorn Chicken from Arby's. Did I mention - she was up at 4:30am AGAIN!

Intently watched the entire show!
We have also been putting up "Ralph" who is Leah's "Elf on the Shelf." While Leah spent some time with Aunt Vicky, Uncle Jim and Cousin John the beginning of December. Aunt Vicky started the story of the "Elf on the Shelf" and we are now continuing it at home. Leah wakes up and the first thing she does is fine "Ralph." Check on the story if you are interested. It is fun!
Have a great week.
