Christmas is coming!!!!

Well I have the Christmas itch!!! It started last week when I got the call from Bill that Starbucks had their holiday cups out. This week, I'm taking down fall. Why you ask? Well, we leave next Saturday for Cherry Hill, NJ to spend Thanksgiving with Straty's family. We'll be gone till the Saturday after. Every Thanksgiving, I start my morning with my very first Gingerbread late. It puts me into Christmas mode. That evening I take down fall and decorate the house in Christmas, so Friday I'm off to Target to get our tree!!!!! This week while I'm going through my cleaning, I'm taking down the fall and putting in Christmas. I'm a little behind, due to other projects, but I will succeed! I'm also working on the computer/photo thing. So many wonderful shots have been taken, that I can't wait to share. Like election day and Amelia with her sticker and pamphlet. Or her first steamed milk from Starbucks in her holiday cup. Or today she sat in a big bin with stuffed animals! She's growing so fast!!!! She's been taken off of baby food, drinking milk, pointing to what she wants, throwing fits, saying "dog" "duck" "dad" and "dat (cat)" She loves saying SSSSS and has "sock" on the tip of her tongue. I love it when she's just plain tired or emotional and cries out "ma ma ma ma ma" She kills me! Speaking of traveling. This will be Amelia's first airplane ride. I've made many lists: what to pack in the suitcase, what to bring on the plane, her schedule the day of travel and how we'll feed her and where we'll get the food from. Depending on well she does, Amelia and I may stay a little longer in NJ. We have to be back though for the Drive Thru Nativity at Church and Auntie Krista will be having a B-day! It's been a long day, so I'm hitting the hay early tonight! G'nite.
