What a week we have had!! You won’t believe all that we’ve done!! Well, I’ll start with after Thanksgiving. Daddy spent most of the weekend working on Computer stuff. We have needed a new computer for a while now, and since we can finally afford it now, that’s our #1 priority. So Daddy got some really good deals on parts to build one (yes, my genius Daddy can build a computer!!) on Black Friday. Mommy and Daddy say that the new computer is their Christmas present to each other, that way they save even more money on it. And I heard that Daddy’s gonna wipe the old computer and give it to me just for games and stuff – isn’t that COOL!!!
On Wednesday, Mommy’s church lit up their Christmas Tree. It’s a Night Lights Tree – meaning every light bulb on the tree represents someone who has sponsored an abused child in our community to help give them a better life. Isn’t that Cool!! There are a bunch of lights on it this year – way more than last year!! Anyways, we went to watch them light it up. It was a lot of fun!! Mommy and Daddy said that maybe one year we can watch something like it in Indy, since it’s a lot bigger than this one – I would like to see that, cuz this one’s pretty big if you ask me!! It’s almost as tall as the Church Steeple!!
Then on Friday Mommy and I went to church again, but this time for MOPS. I know what you’re thinking – MOPS on a Friday Night??? Yep, MOPS hosted a Parent’s Night Out – Babysitting and Gift Wrapping for parents who wanted to go out. Mommy did the Craft for all the kids, so we got to make really neat Santa Cards with our Handprints!! Mommy hasn’t gotten a picture of mine yet, so you’ll have to wait to see it.
Saturday we did accomplished our annual tradition of chopping down our Christmas tree from the forest. Mommy was scared we wouldn’t be able to do it this year with Jayce being in her tummy, but we did it!! We packed a lunch, drove up to the site near Red Feather Lakes and ate. Then Mommy and I hung out at the car for a little while Daddy went Tree Scouting. He got lucky and found a nice one really close to the car, so Mommy decided she would hike out to take some pictures. We hiked out, and got to our tree in no time - Good Find Daddy!!
Daddy did a good job of chopping it down. It was a really tall tree, and Mommy wanted to leave as much on it as we could so that it wouldn't loose it's pretty shape. So Daddy drug it back to the Jeep and we strapped it on, after figuring out that it was over 13 ft. tall!! But Mommy still didn't want to chop any more off.
Then we got it home (after stopping at Walmart to get Twilight Eclipse DVD for Mommy), and Mommy still wouldn't let Daddy cut any off of it. She Really Liked This Tree!!! Crazy Mommy!! So we finally got it in the house (after a lot of furniture moving and tugging and pulling), put it in our tree stand (which is only rated to hold a 10 foot tree) and The thing did NOT fit!!! Duh Mommy!! So Daddy finally convinced Mommy to let him cut some off, the only problem . . . it was already in the living room! And yes, that's where Daddy Cut it!! He took the lid of a big plastic bin to catch all the sawdust and chopped another foot and a half of the thing! (that's as far as Mommy would let him go!!) But we did it - we got the tree standing and secured in the stand - thankfully it's a skinny tree, otherwise I don't think our tiny stand would hold it! But it definitely took some stretching to get it decorated!!
Not too mention we bought LED lights for our tree this year (but only two strands) and they only covered the top half of the tree, so we had to put on our old mini-lights on the bottom until we can get more LEDs (that's why it looks like there aren't any on the bottom!!) Mommy let me put the first ornament on the tree, and I helped her decorate it!! I'm not very good at hanging the ornaments, but Mommy was patient and helped me, mostly!! Then she and Daddy watched her weirdo vampire movie!
On Sunday Mommy's friend Laurel came over and played with me while Mommy and Daddy went out. They did some Christmas shopping (and said I couldn't go with them) and went to dinner and a movie. It was the first Date they've had in a LOOOOOONG time, and Mommy said it was so wonderful!! They had really good Chinese food (Chili House - their favorite!) and went to see the new Harry Potter Movie. I wanted to go see that too, but Mommy says I have to wait until I'm older to see this one - it's really scary!! I've only seen the first couple that they play on TV all the time. Mommy wants to go see more movies before Jayce comes, but she doesn't know if she'll be able too. This weekend the new Chronicles of Narnia comes out, and next weekend is the Yogi Bear Movie. I wanna see those too!! Maybe they will take me to see them!
Well, not much else planned right now. Just waiting for Jayce to come! Mommy has an appointment on Thursday, so we'll know more about how close she's getting then. Then Next weekend Grandma & Grandpa Louie come out to visit!! I'm excited!! Mommy thinks that Jayce is going to be a "hold-out" like I was, although I know she's secretly hoping not!! But if he is, then her Doctor will induce her when Grandma & Grandpa are here. That way they can stay with me, and see Jayce before they leave, and Mommy can bring him home before Christmas!! YAY!!! So I'll update you all later after More happens - what a busy Month we have!!
