Oh, Oh, Oh!
Just a quick note because for some reason we are pretty busy around here. :0)
Sarah is really starting to talk, not clearly, but I understand a lot of what she's trying to say. Lately she picked up thank you, sounds more like 'ank oo, if you ask her what Santa says she says, "Oh, oh, oh!" So, cute.
Last night when I was getting Amanda ready for bed I was coaching her on what to say when she gets a gift from someone...Me: Amanda, what do you say when someone gives you a present?
A: I don't know
Me: Let's say Gma gives you a present, what do you say?
A: Thank you!
Me: That's right. What if it's a present you don't like?
A: No thank you?!
Me: Well, you shouldn't say that. You don't want to hurt their feelings. You should still say thank you. Because it's important to let them know that you appreciate them thinking about you. (Not sure if I lost her half way thru this little speech, but maybe some of it got in that little head of hers)
A: If someone gives me a gift I don't like I'll say 'Ohhh, Thank you' (She said that like she was being told to eat spinach in order to get a piece of cake)
Then as I was leaving her room, I blew her a kiss from the door, and she rolled over and said, "Mom, when you get old and die, I'm going to miss you very much."
Where did that come from? I told her..."I'll miss you very much, too. But, you don't have to think about that right now."
We've been very busy around here getting ready for xmas, like I'm sure everybody is. We also had a visit from my best friend from San Fran. She came up for a long weekend. It was a lot of fun. She came just in time to see Amanda's xmas program in preschool. I have a lot of pic's but I haven't got them on the comp. yet. Hopefully I'll get to that sometime soon.
Hope all of you are surviving the holiday build up. I hope to visit your sites soon. Take care.

'Tis The Season
Sorry I haven't been around to visit all the blogs lately. It's Dec. and we all know what that means...Christmas cards and letters. I have been very busy getting ours done. I finally got them printed out and I've stuffed the majority. I'm just waiting on a few last min. address changes. Then, I can mail those little puppies off. Yay!
I have to give my Mom a huge shout out! She watched the girls yesterday so we could get our shopping done. We have almost every one done already. A first for me. I'm usually scrambling up to the last min. But, thank goodness for Grandma. She came over and Dave and I took off for about 5 hours. I couldn't believe how well Dave did...even in Walmart...he hates that store. Good job honey. I love you.
Hope you all are coming right along and staying sane. I'll try to get to you all and see what's up in your lives. Happy Holidays!
