Only 10 days until Christmas!

The holidays have been really fun with Mia this year. She's already got a big stash of presents even though we're trying not to go overboard. The nice thing about buying for toddlers is that even the smallest, most inexpensive thing could provide so many hours of enjoyment! (I'm sure that will change as time goes on) It makes me wonder what next year will be like since she already loves going down the toy aisle. She NEEDS to touch and hold everything, especially the stuffed animals she calls "baby".

We're just about done with our shopping and plan to be home for the holidays. My brother will come stay with us, but other than that, it should be quite peaceful. Three weeks to go on the sabbatical and then it will be time to pry myself from home and get back to work. We're still not talking about it yet.

Hope you're enjoying the holidays as much as we are! Here are some photos...one showing Proof of the Tooth and one of of our Big Smoocher- she loves to make fish lips to give you a kiss. TO DIE FOR!
