Christmas Day 2010

I think John and I are worse than the kids on Christmas morning. We are always up early just waiting for the kids to wake up so we can watch them open their stockings and presents.
Miss Fabulous is old enough to know what to do and she dove right in to her stocking and a new Pillow Pet. Star took some coaxing to get past a Blue's Clues peekaboo book.
Little Star. Just behind her is her stocking with everything still set out. She was just NOT interested.
Reading her new book with Daddy!
After opening presents and playing with our new things, John and I took my brother and Star out to see if we could find a store that might be open. Somehow I hadn't planned well and we were out of wipes. We didn't find any stores open, but my other brother and his wife did and managed to get what we needed! Thank you Jeremy and Becky!While we were out looking for wipes, John decided he "needed" some sushi. Of course, the sushi place WOULD be open.David, waiting for his sushi.

We headed back to my grandma's house to hang out with the family some more.

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
