Happy Birthday Jesus

:. Merry Christmas! :: Happy Birthday Jesus! :: Merry Christmas! .:

Hope your Christmas was wonderful with all those you love. I have been sick since Tuesday the 21st, it actually started on Sunday the 19th with a sore throat that lasted 2 days and by Tuesday, I was coughing (very nasty) and had a stuffed up nose. I spent the week in bed sleeping Tuesday through Thursday, only getting up to eat and then back to bed to sleep. Friday, I woke up and decided I would at least stay awake, so spent the day in bed with Isabel by my side watching the Fox and the Hound and Pollyanna. Hopefully I’ll be back to my normal self soon.

We spent our Christmas at home, with being sick it was better that way. Isabel was more excited for Christmas this year then any year in the past. I’m not sure what time exactly she finally went to sleep. But from the moment, the first gift was placed under the tree, she kept telling me, we needed to fill up the back because there was still room back there!

She started with her stocking or as she likes to call it… “a socket!”

This years ornament is the “Play Family School” in honor of her starting school this year.

New hair accessories!

Gino’s ornament this year is “Angling for Fun“.

It’s time to sing with her new microphone… maybe we’ll get to post some videos!

Mommy got Cricket cartridges for Christmas scrap-booking pages!

Tag books to get Isabel reading on her own.

Doris Day movies!… I see a Doris Day marathon in the near future! Woot! Woo!

Last gift of the day was a surprise blanket and matching scarf from the neighbors.
