What to say with Christmas days away?

I feel like I haven't said anything too substantial lately, and that could be because I haven't taken any pictures with a real story behind them, but I feel the need to post something.

I am so excited for Christmas with Joey! She has had so much fun pulling at bows, shaking presents, and trying to rip corners off of some. (I only taught her the shaking part, but she's gotten quite good at it!) And the last couple days now that she can get closer to the tree (we cleared some of the presents out Saturday with Cory and Annie's family) she has had fun attacking the ornaments at her level as well. It'll be fun to see how she reacts to some new toys, she seems to have gotten a little bored with her toybox lately, at least that's what I keep telling myself the reason she feels the need to unload the bookshelf onto and hang out on the stair from the kitchen to the family room.... We go through this at least 10 times a day, I'm sure. Some of her other current favorites are standing up to furniture (or anything she thinks is sturdy enough), walking around with adult fingers or furniture, and crawling as fast as possible and laughing when I tell her to come here!

I had fun the other night breaking in my KitchenAid making a tasty treat, and I'm sure we'll do some more. I just couldn't believe how evenly (and quickly!) mixed the dough was. Fabulous! I'm sure we'll get our moneys worth and then some with this investment!

Ok, I feel better now! Check back the end of the week for Joey's First Christmas!
