Christmas break officially ends Sunday. Back to going to bed early, getting up early, and heading off to school. Monday is coming quick! I have enjoyed this Christmas break so very much! Justin has made it a point to be home more often and I am so thankful for that. We have really enjoyed our family time together. I find myself thinking..... yeah, I could get used to being a stay at home mom. I hear that it is suppose to be cold and wet Monday morning. I am NOT looking forward to getting out in that kind of weather. I find myself counting the days.... How many more mornings of sleeping in till 8:00 or so, do I have left?
Bailee is changing everyday. She is talking more and more. She has been saying "moe" a lot lately and it wasn't until last night that found out it isn't more she is saying, it is no..... but comes out as "moe". I was trying to get her out of the bathtub last night and when I asked her if she was ready to get out...... she shook her head and said "moe". It was too funny. The differences between boys and girls amazes me. It is so evident at such an early age. Everything Bailee picks up, she makes into a phone. It is so funny because when Brayden was her age, he made everything a car...... or yes..... a gun.....
Brayden misses school but I know he has really enjoyed the family time. He is doing so good. He is really trying to test the waters with his mouth though, if you know what I mean.
Last night for New Year's we were invited over for dinner at a friend's house. We had a great time with them. We were home by 10:00. Justin and I both wanted to be home well before the inebriated drivers were on the road. We celebrated in the best way possible.... we all changed into our jammies and climbed into mommy and daddy's bed. It was so wonderful. We all snuggled and wrestled and had the best time. I looked over at Justin and said...... this is the best way to bring in the New Year, and he agreed. Of course, none of us saw the new year in. We were in a deep slumber by midnight.
I can't wait! Tomorrow we are off to the zoo! I will post those adventures soon!
On Saturday we woke up and headed to the San Antonio Zoo. We had a wonderful time! It looked very dreary out. It turned out to be great though. It wasn't too hot or too cold. It was just right! The kids absolutely loved seeing all the animals. Bailee was so funny. Daddy and I were both surprised at how animated she was when she would see the animals. At one point..... we were able to go into this bird area where you hold cups of nectar and feed the birds. At first it didn't seem as though the birds were hungry. My observant husband, watched the zoo employee and how he held his nectar cup and before we 
it, Justin had a bird on his hand, then it moved to his shoulder, and then finally his head. I would totally be lying if I said I didn't pray that the darn bird would poo on his head. It did bite daddy though, when Justin tried to get him off. It was pretty darn funny. I haven't seen Justin laugh like that in a while. It was great to see him carefree and enjoying the family time.
turned away for a split second and when I turned back, my little baby is no longer a baby. My wrinkly little caterpillar has turned into a beautiful butterfly. And let me tell you...... my little butterfly is really trying to spread those wings of hers. Bailee is turning into such a sweet little girl. Her personality is blossoming. Everyday she is doing something different. Her favorite thing to do lately is sing.
She sure can carry a tune too! 
garage with daddy and her brother. She was on her little ride on car and she has a tendency to dive off of it when she is done. Well this time, she scraped her face on the cement when she was getting off. Originally it was her forehead that we were worried about. When we got her out of her crib the next morning, it was obvious that we should have been more worried about her nose. Ouch!
