Mary, Did you know?

My aunt sent me this slideshow that someone put together. It is so moving when you watch the familiar pictures of Christ's life being portrayed while listening one of my favorite Chirstmas songs "Mary, Did you know" is being sung. This was very well put together.

Santa Meltdown

So, last weekend I got Maizyn all dolled up in her pretty Christmas dress to go see Santa and get pictures with him. We watched Miracle on 34th Street the night before, and she was really excited all morning as we had been talking about it, but when she saw him, she wouldn't go within 10 feet of him and was screaming her head off! It was really sad, I tried 3 times to go sit by him with her, but it was not happening. Poor girl. She was traumatized. I think it is a 2 year old thing, I've had several people tell me that the same thing happened to them. This Santa looked nothing like the one on Miracle on 34th Street though -more like the bad guy in that movie, maybe that had something to do with it! So needless to say, there are no Santa pictures this year. I should have just taken some of her crying to get the experience, but that was the last thing on my mind. I was just trying to calm her down! :) Well, we ended up going home and are hoping for better luck next year!

Happy Birthday to me!

I am 26 years old. Can you beleive it?! I feel like that is way older than 25. Birthday's are pretty low-key as you get older and start your own family. My sister's took me out to lunch at Tap House Grill, which was really fun. Then when I got home from work, Clay and Maizyn surprised me with a beautiful home made pink cake with pink candles at Maizyn's request. The house was also spotless and that was a wonderful surprise! Clay and I were supposed to go on a ski trip this weekend to Mt. Baker as well, but since all 3 of us had been pretty sick these past few weeks and have missed a lot of work, we decided it would be better for our Christmas budget as well as our health to sit this one out. We were pretty bummed that we had to cancel, but since we're older and wiser, we decided i would be best, We are just going to postpone it until February. Other than that, my birthday was great with lots of phonecalls and emails of birthday wishes from friends and family. Everyone remembered, which made it super great! Here's to 26!
