Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas Tree....

Elaina going 'round circles

Ta da! Our super cute tree!

James, I, & Elaina went to buy our cute little Douglas Fir Tree yesterday. Elaina was really "es-cig-ged" which translates to excited. We drove to one tree lot that was really expense first, then quickly realized they were priced way more than we wanted to spend, so we all headed to Home Depot. There was a big blow up Santa Claus on display which Elaina LOVED! She told me "I wanna see Ho Ho Ho". "Wook! there's Sana Cause, There he is!"

We found perfect shaped 6 foot tree for about $25 bucks, what a deal. While James was paying, Elaina decided she wanted to "go 'round circles". So random, huh? It was really cute, though. Anyway, I was a lot of fun for all of us.

Merry Christmas!

Bye-Bye Crib

My baby girl has reached yet another milestone in her young life, Sunday night I converted Elaina's crib into a daybed by removing one side of the crib railing. She was so excited and "helped" me too. We all made a big fuss over her new "Big Girl" bed and she was so proud of herself and her big girl bed that she was jumping and giggling all over the place. She kept calling everyone in the house to "come look". It was so cute!

She did so great the first night sleeping in her bed, we weren't sure if she would roll out of it or not so we put padding on the floor, but she didn't need it. In the morning when she woke up, I don't know why but she knocked on her bedroom door instead of just opening it and letting herself out. She knows how to open all the doors in the house now, even the front door and sliding glass door. It was kinda funny when I heard her though.

And this morning, after her second night in her big girl bed, she woke up and let herself out of her room and wondered over to my room to wake me up and tell me she needed a new diaper. LOL (so grown up).

I can't believe how time flies. I am so proud of my big girl!

We love you, baby!
