So, I know I said my goal was to take a picture every day of our countdown, but I haven't. Josh has been working tons of overtime and I am working everyday now up until Christmas. So we've been a little busy. Needless to say, we have kind of gotten behind on our countdown. It's hard too because a lot of the activities are child directed (write letters to Santa, sing Christmas carols to grandma, etc) and we feel so silly doing them. I am definitely looking forward to years ahead when she will be able to be a bigger part of it and keep us going on it! :)
I pretty much summed up what we've been up to lately...work. Haha. Leading up to Christmas there are usually at least 10 baskets a day to be made at Kneaders. That's a really slow day. I was talking to the main basket maker today and saying today was busy. She laughed. She said, "it's busy when we have 80 baskets going out in the morning and 40 more in the afternoon." Oh geez. Needless to say, I'm at Kneaders every day making baskets. It's great though. We are making lots of extra money for Christmas and I get to bring Elliott, so I'm not away from my sweet girl. Thank goodness.
Elliott is adorable as always. She is getting cuter by the day, I swear. I just can't get enough of that little girl! I'm pretty sure I was right, and that she was going through a growth spurt. She is sleeping much better now and she seems a lot happier. Thank goodness. Man, if I've learned one thing in having a child, it is that they are so unpredictable. Once you finally feel like you have things under control, they change. Sleeping was going incredibly well and then all of a sudden, it was like she was a newborn again. Waking every 1-2 hours during the night. Uh, not okay. But she's back to waking up once per night, something I can definitely handle.
We are getting more and more excited for Christmas! It should be a fun year. Although I am sad that I won't be seeing most of my family this year. We're off to SC on Christmas day. We'll be spending a few days at the beach. It should be a good time, as always. There's not much better than the beach in December.
Well, boring post, I know. But just to spice things up, I'll throw in some pictures of my sweet girl. :) Enjoy!
