busy busy bees

Wow, its the middle of December already. Crazy. We have been busy getting ready for Christmas, making gifts sending cards and going to parties. Hannah has been excited about ever single part of Christmas. She loves the lights on the houses, she really loves the snow and she LOVES Santa Claus. We put up the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend, I am not sure how many times we put up each ornament but it was several. I put all the non breakable decorations down low so Hannah had some that were within reach to play with.


















Hannah saw Santa at grandpa's house and she sat on his lap and gave him a kiss. She told me the "he will be back, in 20 minutes." I asked her what we should leave for santa and she said he likes cookies, and beer. I asked her about the beer and she said "no, milk" She is very concerned about what santa is going to want to eat/drink.





















I made Hannah a stocking this year, I decided I wanted to do this about a month ago and just barely finished it this week. I think it is really cute, so I am going to show it off.


















Today John had to work so Hannah and I had a girls day. I was making us some muffins for breakfast and Hannah was in the front room playing with her toys. She came into the kitchen and told me "Come here momma" I went into the front room and she said "Look, my toys are laying down" I asked her why she didn't lay them down looking up and told me that they were laying like this:

















She sleeps like this and so her animals were going to sleep like that also. After that she took all her books and laid them out next to each other and told me "Look momma I my books are a shape! They are in a circle" They were sort of in a square, but I loved that she was trying to put them into a shape. This is definitly her new "thing." She will take anything and lay it out and then stack in back up. She spent an entire hour friday night stacking CD cases and moving them between the table and the hearth at grandpa's house. She could also pick out the Elvis CD.

I was working on the gifts for our office friends so when John came home from work she was at it again:

Hangin with the cousins again

These cousins are so silly. Hannah loves to play with them. They all love to go to Namma's house because she lets them eat treats on her bed.

You know when you realize your kid is just too quiet? This is usually what Hannah is doing. Sitting in John's chair playing with the remote:

New Daycare and SNOW

Hannah started her new daycare this week and she is doing really great. I love the new center and the people that work there. They put Hannah in the 2 year old class so she is with kids that are more on her level.



















Yesterday it snowed a lot. Hannah loves the snow, she sat and looked out the window at it all morning. When I got home from work John and Hannah were outside playing in it. Well John was snowblowing, because he loves his snow blower. Hannah was playing, and of course, she had no hat, no gloves, she probably wouldn't have had a jacket on ecxept I put one on her in the morning. I hurried and got her some gloves and a hat and put them on her while she was whining to go back and play. She was so funny in the snow. She just wanted to pick it up and drop it, so that is what we did.

Halloweeeeeen

For Halloween this year I was off work so Hannah and I went to Dizzy's parade at her school. Hannah wore her pirate costume. She loved all the costumes but some of them were a little scary for her. After that we did our friday stuff - which includes Sunshine Market and naps - love it! We went up to Johns office so Hannah could show off her costume and then came home to get ready to go sit by the fire. We took Hannah trick or treating to maybe 20 houses, she LOVED it. She loved to see everyones pumpkins and their dogs. She told them all "Trick or Treat" and "Happy Halloween" and of course they all thought she was adorable. Hannah especially loved running around the yard and eating candy and cheetos all evening.

Here are the Halloween pics:
