I have a feeling...

people might be fighting over this wrapped gift!

I had a helper wrapping presents with me this year. She did a great job at unrolling the paper and covering herself with it! Maybe not the help I needed, but definitely the help I wanted! Oh...she did like holding down the paper on the gifts I was wrapping until I could get tape on it. Sorry if you have a gift with 20 pieces of tape on it. She was certain it needed it.....and a 2 year old knows best! :)

A Little Holiday Cheer!

Now that I finally have the ornaments on the tree :), I feel a little more in the holiday spirit! We also brought Lilah to see Santa. She was so funny. On the way, she was super excited to go. She kept reminding me that Santa says, Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas. As we stepped into the mall, she looked around and asked about 10 times where Santa was. When we finally got to him, she wanted to run right up to him....who wants to wait in line?!

So ready to see Santa!!!

 When it was finally her turn she walked up and what did he say???? .....What's your name? You could see the disappointment in her eyes. Who was this guy? Santa say Ho Ho Ho...right?! So, she sat for what felt like 10 minutes, but was probably 1ike 1, with a sad, get me away from this stranger, look on her face until I finally was smart enough to ask Santa to say his famous phrase....

Here is the before...

and the after...

We also decorated a gingerbread house this weekend. Lilah is very crafty ;)....or at least she is my excuse 98% of the time to do crafts!

 Lilah's masterpiece (with just a little help from mommy)

Wishing you all a VERY Merry Christmas!!

Three of my loves...
