Leading Up To Christmas

We packed a lot into the past couple of weeks before Christmas! We went to the zoo twice, once with Great-Grandma, and once with Daddy to see Zoolights. We didn't make it to Zoolights because someone whose name rhymes with "Hill" had a major meltdown and didn't want to stay there any longer. She did, however, have a great time running around the zoo at top speed.

Knowing about Jill's short attention span, we opened the presents from our out of town family and friends before Christmas. We did 1 or 2 each night, and you can see them below, including Jill thanking everyone. Pretty cute, though you can see how she gets sidetracked and doesn't really understand the concept of present opening yet.

We also found time to eat more pizza, sing, watch "Tee Two" (Toy Story 2), play in Mama and Daddy's bedroom/bathroom, throw some things away, and play with our toys. That takes us up to Christmas Eve, which you will be able to read about in the next post!

shaking nasal spray is so fun!

Jill found some stuffing from a dog toy on the floor and NEEDED to throw it away. She takes offense to things being out of place, drawers not being shut, and messes on the floor (unless she is the mess maker~she's fine with those ones).
