'Tis the Season

'Tis the season that makes it impossible to keep up on a blog!  I figured I shall sit for a few moments and do a little catch up, of course there is a great chance that I won't make it far as I have a cranky, teething toddler today who needs me most.
So hard to believe we are only a little over a week away from Christmas.  We are almost ready!  We have already had Christmas with both sets of parents, so that just leaves giving out teacher gifts and doing our own little family Christmas.  I still need to get stocking stuffers for E and some for N, plus we need to find another toy to give E.  I can't wait for Christmas morning and all the craziness it will entail!  I think we have decided to go out to eat after Christmas Eve service, with it just being us this year it seems silly to have to go home and cook.  Hopefully we can find somewhere to eat!
If you haven't already heard I am selling Wildtree; Wildtree is a direct sales company that specialized in all natural gourmet culinary blends, infused Grapeseed oils, dressings, and sauces (plus much more).  I am really excited about the product and their freezer meal workshops.  So far I have had one freezer meal workshop as a representative.  It went really well and I am looking forward to the ones I have booked for January.  If you want to know more please email me or check out my webpage:  www.mywildtree.com/smajiros
D is doing well, she is having a little more girl drama at school than I would like.  We didn't have any last year, so I wasn't really prepared for it this year.  She did not get put in a class with any of her friends from last year, so she is still getting to know the girls in her class.  She looks forward to seeing her old friends outside during recess, however they aren't always willing to let her join them in whatever they are playing.  I am pretty sure D has done the same thing to others in other scenarios, so we keep reminding her that you have to be a good friend all the time, and sometimes you just have to walk away when others are not being very nice.  She is still doing gymnastics and is looking forward to skiing when we finally get some snow (it was 50 degrees yesterday!).
E is a busy toddler, she is a ball of energy and so much fun to be around.  She is a talker!  Everyone is amazed at the amount of words she knows and her ability to speak in sentences.  Her favorite things to say; thank you, I don't know, yep, snowman, milk please, Jingle Bells, Laney, Kitty, Elmo.
N is busy with work!  He is also training for a 5K and trying to shed some more weight.  He is still a vegetarian and is never even tempted by some of the meats the girls eat.

Merry Christmas to all!!
