Not only am I behind in house work but blogging as well. It's the week before Christmas and we've been last minute shopping, wrapping presents and just enjoying each other. Josh and I've been going through a lot, mainly because we're not with our families for the holidays, but we are doing a hundred percent better. I am so thankful for my mom & Mandy for being there for me. Also, Ashley has been helpful with opening her house to me when I have no where to go just to breath. I love being a mom, but I get overwhelmed with all the responsibility. I am wondering what my life will be if I was a working mom which I have been considering a lot lately, just to help bring in another pay check. Saturday I finally got Addyson her ornament, its a flashing "A," I didn't want to get her a "baby's first Christmas" one because I honestly didn't like any of them as much as I loved this one, I plan on writing 2010 on it somewhere but I haven't decided where yet. Josh's ornament is an antler and mines a willow tree angel, with a bright star. We did good picking out our ornaments for this year. That is one of our traditions that I probably mentioned earlier.
Sunday, Addyson was so cranky we finally decided that she needs a new toy to keep her occupied so we let her open ONE gift, which I really hated for her to do that but Josh insisted. We got her a walker that changes into a sweet ride, I am pretty sure she is scared of it. I stick it under the tree when she isn't playing with it because its for Christmas. I think she was really teething horribly that day.
Monday, it was just like any other Monday, I was dreading house work and getting ready for the big holiday celebrated with just us three. That day actually went by in a blink of an eye! Addyson & I went for a walk, we've been looking out for Christmas cards & packages. We are waiting for our pictures from her Aunt Nicole (which I don't think she has even sent) but we needed the fresh air.
Tuesday, We got a lot done, cleaning wise and we even went for a mini walk to the mailbox. I made my grandma's famous "Soggy Bottom Cake" (recipe to come) and the homemade frosting. It is delicious. I love it so much and it reminds me of home, puts a little comfort in our tummies! I tried giving Addyson noodles and corn, Josh freaked on me because he said it might hurt her stomach but it came out ok, I think.
Today we have been just hanging out, I haven't done dishes since last night and our kitchen is a horrible mess. I am so lazy today. I told myself tomorrow we are cleaning this house, spic and span, before Christmas Eve. Josh and I rented redbox movies, which we aren't even watching, and walked around the NEX, they are having 50% on all Christmas stuff, which we don't need, but I would stock up if Josh would let me. While at the NEX we ran into a guy that went to the same high school as Josh and I, his name is Brandon and he graduated a year before Josh. He is a very nice guy, he is going home for Christmas. Everyone gets a four day weekend since its Christmas and everything but Josh has duty tomorrow so hopefully he gets home to help me (o: that would be nice. Addyson is still climbing on everything. I don't think she likes crawling. Shes silly! Safe Travels!
