We wish you a Merry Christmas

A couple of years ago some of the girls in our old youth group gave me the "Halmark" singing snowmen. It has become one of Amelia's favorite.

Check her out.

I got the camera on a little late, but you can still see her moves.

Christmas presents....Check

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......This is the Living Room Tree....

and this is the family room tree.

I would just like to announce that I am officially finished with my Christmas shopping and wrapping of the presents. It is such a good feeling. This is the first year that I am actually done on time, and not shoping on Christmas Eve. After last year I vowed never to have an unorganized December again. It just goes to prove that a little organization will go a long way.

Suprisingly enough Amelia isn't even interested in the presents or the trees. She looks at them says, "preeeeety" and goes on her way. Now Levi on the other hand is having an emotional breakdown just about every day claiming that he just cannot wait until Christmas to open the gifts, and I don't know what it is like to have to wait for something." as my mom would sing, "I remember the days" He is a little burger, but I guess he gets it honestly.

waiting for Christmas,

Welcome to Bible Land

As most of you know I am the sunday school teacher for the 5-7 year olds. This theme this quarter is "Bible Land." This is what I came up with to help my students learn about the birth of a savior and his life here on earth.

The room is complete with the manger, sea of Galilee, a market, and even a fireplace to tell stories around.

We are back in the nap business

I am happy to report that Amelia is back on schedule with her naps. Today she went down at 12:45 and did not get up until 3:30. Sweet Bliss. :)

Here's to sleeping babies,

ice ice everywhere

This morning, after a night of freezing rain, Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation has closed the schools for today!!!!! We have spent the day in our pajamas. Levi has been conquering new levels on his Star Wars Wii game, I am catching up on laundry and getting the family room/ play room/ office cleaned, and Millie bug is climbing everything. The stairs on top of the table, getting up on every chair available. This is her newest perch.

No Nap Day 2

Again today Amelia did not get her nap. She did sleep for about an half an hour each way to and from Madison, Indiana. Hopefully we will get back on schedule tomorrow. Suprisingly she didn't do too bad with three services in one day of course we spent service number 2 in the nursery and skipped out a little early on service number 3. :)

No Nap

Today on our way home from Wal-Mart, Amelia fell asleep in the van for about 10 minutes. When we got home we laid her down but she woke up and did not want to go back to sleep. Thirty minutes later she was still awake and Daddy would not enforce tough love. Well he got her up and let her play for a while. Every time we would try to lay her back down she would scream. Finally about 5:00 she fell asleep for 30 min. We got home around 9:30 pm and she was still awake. We laid her down and there were no screams. She fell asleep....or so we think. I am not going in to find out.

This cannot become a trend. I need nap time!!!

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I have my doubts since we are going to be gone all day. See last post.
