Cecelia is in brownies this year and is selling cookies, well, actually it seems more like I'm selling cookies! Love them but can't wait to not have them staring back at me begging to be eaten. It is pretty cute to watch Cece selling the cookies and collecting money for them. Good life lessons I suppose.
Liv is rolling around all over the place. You can't leave for more than a moment without her rolling from her back onto her tummy. She gets her arm out just fine from underneath of herself too. She's beginning to learn to sit up with minimal assistance at times but she leans so far forward that it just looks uncomfortable. She continues to sleep through the night for Aaron. She sleeps from about 8-11 and wakes up for a bottle and then sleeps till 8:00 A.M. when I get home from work. On my 4 nights off a week she isn't sleeping throughout the night for me but since we co-sleep I barely open 1 eyeball to nurse her and I'm back asleep. Besides that she wakes up so few and far between even when I am home. I am still getting great sleep.
We continue to add items to the house to decorate it and I love it. It's fun trying to hunt for the perfect items at the best price. Aaron and I are going on a date to dinner in mid-town crossing and then to see Blue Man Group at the Orpheum. I'm excited to get out and have an adult night. And maybe just 1 drink:)

Can we talk about Liv's hand's?
From the very beginning she has been obsessed with her hands. While in the womb, we were never able to get a clear 3D picture of her face because her hands were always in her mouth or she was trying to get them in her mouth. When she was delivered, she came out with her hand by her face yet again. From the minute she came out she sucked her thumb. When we took her to portrait innovations when she was about 1 week old we were only able to get 1 semi descent picture of her because she wouldn't keep her stinkin hands down. And now, everything goes in her mouth but she particularly enjoys her thumb, or any finger for that matter, her binkie, and sometimes she chews on my knuckles:) My sweet baby girl

Christmas 2011
Christmas was amazing. As it is every year. Love the holidays. Next year Christmas is my holiday to work...what am I going to do? I have NEVER worked Christmas in my life:( Maybe if I throw myself of the ground and kick and scream like a toddler I will get out of it.
Doubt it!
I have decided that we might as well celebrate Hanekauh because we can never wait to open our presents. It started out by Aaron letting me pick out my new comforter set for our bedroom...in November. Then when it arrived on the door step I was allowed to open it. Then I gave in to Aaron's ways again when we decided that the girls playing the Wii in the living room constantly was getting pretty old. Actually, Cecelia was constantly trying to get me to dance to Just Dance and Aaron couldn't bear my awesome moves anymore... so we thought we should let them open up the new flat screen T.V. we got them. Then after that it was a slipperly slope. Until Christmas morning, o.k. I won't lie we let the kids open the last of the presents on Christmas eve. The girls had 3 presents and their stockings to dig into left.
I don't know why I am ashamed of this. I really have the urge to let the cat out of the bag and just celebrate the holiday for what it is. The birth of sweet baby jesus, who was born to die. Die because we were loved so much that god would give his only son, so that we could be forgiven for our sins. I also love us giving eachother presents because we love eachother unconditionally and want the best for our friends and family. I really cringe whenever I have to tell Cecelia "Santa this" or "Santa that". I hesitate to tell Cecelia the truth because my sister Nikki, told her son, my nephew Gabe, that Santa wasn't real.
His response: Hysterical tears while calling his mom a liar.
She immediately recanted her statement. She responded that she just said that beacuse she hadn't actaully ever seen him in person.
The older girls played so well over Christmas break together. I think that now that they have more room, and we aren't all on top of eachother any more, everyone gets along a little more cohesively. After Christmas, I got outdoor lights for the house on sale at wal-mart. next year we won't look like the grinches who didn't decorate the outside of the house for Christmas:)
