"Family Maintenance" Day

I always said Robert took for granted everything I did as a stay-at-home mom but this Christmas I have realized I took for granted everything I could get done during the week!

This Christmas, our weekends have been full of house projects, decorating, ornament swaps and of course shopping! So today, I took a personal day. No painting, cleaning or babysitters! Reese and I slept in, we did some things around town and then, her favorite, went to CHUCKIE CHEESE! Reese kept saying "Is it a PARTY?!"

**Her hair is straight because "Mar-Mar" cut it! NOT because I straightened it :)

We finished the afternoon with a quick trip to BassPro and guess who we ran into...SANTA!


I wasn't going to push the whole Santa thing this year after our traumatic experience last year. But, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Turns out, she did great! We went to BassPro {which I would highly suggest.} There were no lines so she could take her time.

Her list to Santa:

1. A putter...computer
2. A baby doll
3. A puppy....yea I don't really know what we are going to do about that one!


We were absolutely exhausted, but it was the best day I have had in a very long time. She is so absolutely sweet and growing wayyy too fast. I say this every year but, I think this Christmas will be the best yet! She is more aware of everything and can actual help us pick out gifts. We are all three counting down the days...10 to go!!!
