HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, HALEY!!!

We've had a good weekend, just busy! We did manage to get our tree up - it looks a little bare as we can't find all of our ornaments (happens when you decide not to get the other 10 tubs of decorations out because there just isn't enough time this year!) Carmen will like the lights. Yesterday we went to the Huhtamaki breakfast/plant tour/Santa and last night we went to the Huhtamaki Christmas party. My neighbor/friend was generous enough to babysit. Carmen did not nap well yesterday and was crying when we took her to Marilee's. When we dropped her off, I told Marilee I hoped we could still be friends after the evening - she has 2 kids of her own so she's used to the crankiness at times. Come to find out Little Miss was an angel. Talking, cooing, smiling for Marilee & family! She put her down at 8 pm, we managed to get her home without her waking up and she slept until 6:30 am. Whew! And wahoo! :)

Today Carmen had a grip on my finger, and she was really trying to get it to her mouth. The Parents as Teachers lady told us this would happen. I asked why - she said because that's where the majority of baby's senses are. Interesting!

Here's another video from last weekend - playing with Anna.

Dear Carmen,

Happy Weekend. I hope you had a fun weekend. There was a Christmas parade in Moberly. Santa Claus was in it. Daddy, Anna Kate and I led the parade with the police car. I waved at everybody along the way. I saw Kennedy and Baleigh and waved at them.

Last Thurs. night at the Living Windows, Santa and his reindeer, Dasher, were there. I sat in his sleigh, told him what I wanted, and petted Dasher. All the other reindeer were at the North Pole. Santa Claus has helpers who are elves. We also saw the Grinch and went on a horse carriage ride. And, we saw MaMa and Papa and Pat and Annette square dancing in one of the windows.
