We are all trying to get ready for Thanksgiving around here, and we are gearing up for Christmas too. After walking through the stores with their Christmas decorations every where and since some people I know have already started to decorate around the house, I decided to put up my Christmas tree this past weekend. It took Callie a day or two to realize that she just can't walk up to it and take off ornaments (all plastic) and play with them. As you can expect, she was all excited because there was all this NEW stuff around, and she had never played or messed with it before. She was excited about it.
Also, I bought an 8 foot inflatable snowman last year that is sitting in our yard. It was one of those 1/2 price after Christmas sale deals. Callie LOVES it! She wants to go outside and touch it when it's freezing and dark! He lights up; so you can see him in the dark. It's too cute. It looks like it's waving at you the way his little arms are made to stick out of his body, and she'll just look up at the snowman and wave at him like he's a real person. It's adorable. She is just too cute, and I love seeing things from her perspective. I believe it keeps be grounded and reminds me of some things that I take for granted and some things that I think are so important and get worked up over are really not that important at all.
Tomorrow is my Friday since we are getting out for Thanksgiving break this week! Woohoo! Talk about ready. It's a break that's been long overdue I think!
Well, I have officially updated my blog, and just want you all to know that the way it feels these last couple of days/weeks is how cold it was in Wyoming this past summer when everybody here was having a HEAT WAVE! We were freezing our rear ends off in Yellowstone while everybody was praying for a break here! I've thought about that several times since it's turned cold. I loved that Teton Mountain Range! I believe I could use another summer in Wyoming! This time, I think we need to wait a few more weeks before we go though! Since I've been reminiscing about my Wyoming trip, I'll leave you with some of our vacation pictures below. The climate in the picture looks more appropriate now than it did back in June!
