A Very Merry Christmas from our Family to yours. We hope that you take the time to sit at the Lord's feet this season and this coming year. Jesus came to demonstrate amazing loveand bring amazing joy to all who will receive Him. Find out what that means today.
Okay, So I'll admit it... I broke the "Wait 'til after Thanksgiving rule" This year I ascribed to the "Any month ending in 'ber' means you can listen to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies- rule". For me November is cram time. I try to get as much done for Christmas as possible, that way we can just enjoy the whole month of December, and attend all those fun holiday events. I don't want to worry about Christmas cards, or presents in December. So I feel like if I am doing all this Christmas related work, I might as well enjoy some of the finer parts of the season. Don't get me wrong, Rory and I LOVE Thanksgiving, it is the day we got engaged. I just like to mingle the two a little bit!
Well, since I was in the mood, I dug out all the Christmas related hand-me-downs that we had. The girls were eager to try them on. So we popped the Enya Christmas album in and let them have at it. We are extra excited for Christmas to come, because my sister and brother in law (Cara and Phil) are coming!
The Christmas mood was contagious... next thing I knew Cecily was running around the house shouting "Christmas is Coming." Then we had to back track a bit, because in a two-year-old's world... a month and a half is practically forever!
This was a momentous November day. We experienced a brief break from the storms (later that day we lost power due to the unruly weather.) So the girls and I made a break for it, and decided to get some out door playing time. It was momentous for another reason... I finally was able to get some actually shoes on Rosemary! That little girl makes it impossible to get shoes on her. She curls up her toes, and I have tried every trick in the book to make her cooperate. Robeez are the only kinds of shoes I can get on her. Well, I was able to get her in size 4 tennis shoes-- so she could go out in the cold and play. She could hardly walk in them, but they did the trick! She had lots of fun playing outside with her Sissy!
Cecily was coloring a picture for her Auntie Cara and Uncle Phil after a long day playing outside. Sometimes she likes to color in Rosemary's high chair so that Rosemary won't ransack her pictures.
There is much discussion over who Rosemary looks like. Rosemary and Cecily are looking more and more alike. However, I think Cecily looks a bit more like Rory and his sister Genesis-- I think she takes after the Adams' side. In this picture I think Rosemary looks just like her daddy. Until this picture Rory didn't believe that she looked like him at all. I think that Rosemary favors the Cannon side and looks like her Grandma Bear (Rory's mom). However, truth be told she also looks a great deal like me when I was little. Our baby pictures are very similar. And from her side profile she really looks like my mom. All this to say that Rosemary has a look all her own, and depending on who is holding her, really influences who she looks like at the time.
A favorite spot in this house is definitely the little rocking chair. Rosemary is in and out of it a hundred times a day. She loves to go sit and sing to herself-- she sings a little tune that sounds a lot like the I Love You song from Barney. It is cute because she mostly sings the same little song and she busily plays around the house. I hope you enjoy watching the video of her in her little chair.
Above is a picture of JJ the little boy I babysit and Cecily sharing the chair.
Here is another video of Cecily feeding her baby. I found this cute little shawl for her. When I showed it to her she said, "Oh a nursing shawl." Now while she is playing with her baby she will say, "Oh the baby needs to eat, where's my shawl?" Here is a video of her taking good care of her baby.
Welcome to our little piece of Cyber-space. We hope that you will come and visit us often...we love keeping in touch. So pick up a mug of your extra foamy latte and let's catch up a bit.
Dance! Dance! Christmas is Coming!
