Christmas Gift sent from afar

Our familia in Spain sent you a christmas gift. We couldn't wait until Christmas to open it (acutally I couldn't:) so we opened it the second it was delivered. Your favorite part of the gift was the box. You carried it around all day, even though it was pretty big and akward for you to carry.
Thank you so much for the gifts. We can't wait to see you in January!

You and your daddy hit the road once again this past Saturday to Nebraska. You will be there with family and daddy until mommy arrives on Christmas Eve. You are probably thinking, wow, my daddy has a lot of time off work to be staying lengths of time during week days in Nebraska. Well, actually daddy was laid off from his job in late October and has been running daddy daycare with you ever since. For most, it may be a stressful situation, especially with the state of the economy. For us, it was a blessing in deguise. Daddy was not a fan of his work or the people he worked for and with, making it a rather miserable environment. He stuck it out for our family's sake but evenutally they downsized and are giving him unemployment until he finds another job. So, what that means is you have A LOT of time with daddy and both of you really seem to be enjoying it:) Luckily we aren't really stressed and are just rolling with the flow of life (does that surprise you considering our personalities?)

In Nebraska, Grandma D is on Christmas vacation and Grandpa D mostly works from home, so you are in heaven having 2 playmates 24 hours a day. Plus Aunt Shannon, Aunt Kate, and everyone else Daddy takes you to visit are doting on you too. Our morning routine since you have been away has become this: I sleep in until about 10am (which is nice because mommy LOVES to sleep in) and then I go straight to the computer and call you using Skpe. I really miss you little peanut and can't wait to see you in a couple more days:)
Here are some snap shots taken using the Skype snapshot option:

This is me video calling in (Grandpa D turned the camera towards his computer screen:)

Hollerin at something...

I was browsing through pictures and videos and found this video which I find rather funny. It was about two months ago You were yelling at something, not sure what. It's crazy how time flies and what can happen in such a short amount of time. You are starting to say words now adays instead of just sounds. It's so fun to watch you learn and grow. I am thoroughly amazing:) You are like a little sponge, soaking it all up.

Tis the Season....

to be jolly:)

Today your sportin a new head piece that mommy bought off on of my favorite websites: www.etsy.com These bows are unique in that you don't have to clip them in your hair ,(which I am really bad at)instead the bows clip nicely onto the head band and you just slide it on your head. Pretty fantasy if you ask me. I specifically purchased them from the seller: littlelesiw This particular bow has gingerbread men on it. We are definately in the holiday spirit:)

Fun filled day

Grandma & Grandpa Wimmer came to KC and spoiled us rotten this past Saturday. We ate great food, took pictures @ JC penny, and they bought odds and ends for all of us. You were quite the trooper getting your pics done. I was a bit worried going into it after only a 30 minute nap where we then had to wake you for a bath and jet out the door. Thankfully, it didn't phase you. We did have to work rather hard at getting you to smile with lots of your favorite songs. It would have been great to capture all of us singing to you because I am quite sure we looked RIDICULOUS:)
You did good kid. Thank you grandma & grandpa Wimmer for a great day in KC.

It was hard and stressful to pick the pictures because of course I thought they were all beautiful. I suppose I could be a tad bias, but you look good girl:)
