We had an incredibly busy weekend... not quite ready for the work week to begin again yet!! On Friday night, I had my Stampin' Up! Card Club, which is always a lot of fun! The projects were fun and the swap cards were great!! On Friday night after I got home, we put up the Christmas tree. We wanted to do it while Colby was sleeping. I thought that if he helped us decorate it, then he would want to keep touching it. He was very curious on Saturday morning when he saw this new tree by his toys in the living room! We had to keep telling him "No touch" and Gerry eventually moved several ornaments to higher locations on the tree. He grabbed one part of the ribbon and pulled... I quickly grabbed the tree as it was toppling and Colby to keep it from hitting him!! Yikes! I think he scared himself so much that he has decided not to touch it anymore!! One year olds and Christmas trees don't always mesh well together, I've decided! (Not this one year old, anyway!)
On Saturday morning, we did some Christmas shopping and errands around Spruce Grove and Stony Plain. We didn't venture out too far from home or too long with the cold snap we've entered. I think we're close to being done our shopping. Just a couple more things to get! Then the fun of wrapping begins! Colby had a sleepover at my parents' house on Saturday night! It was Gerry's work Christmas party in Edmonton and instead of waking him (and them) up when we came home, he stayed overnight. Thankfully, he slept pretty well and didn't get up too early for Grandma and Grandpa! I appreciate how much time they spend with Colby and want to play with their grandchildren!! It's so great living so close to family!! The Christmas party was pretty good, but there sure wasn't very many people there this year. We didn't go last year, as Colby was only 5 days old. So it was nice to go again this year.
Today we held a baby shower for my sister, Jody, and her daughter, Kendra. It was a great time. It was so nice to visit with everyone, as it is hard to find time with very busy lives these days! Kendra is going to be one well-dressed little girl!! :) Very cute clothes!! Colby entertained himself quite well today with the stairs in Grandma and Grandpa's house. He is so fast going up stairs and has now begun going backward down them too! Who needs toys when you have stairs, tupperware, spatulas, and tissue paper!?!
Hope you're staying toasty warm inside these days! It has not been a pleasant weekend weather-wise! With a windchill factor of -37 today, I feel like I haven't been warm all day!
Take care. Only 11 more days until Christmas!!! Only 5 more days of teaching until Christmas vacation!!! :)

YAY! Your last day before vacation!! Enjoy your time off - you certainly deserve it :) Is Colby fine with the tree now? I bet at first it was such a surprise and now it's just part of the living room!! I remember how he loved looking at the lights last year :) Crazy how much changes in a year! Talk to ya later!

Yep, definitely excited about my time off from work now! I want to spend lots of time at home with my two favourite boys! Colby is much better with the tree now, just touches occasionally, but stops when he's reminded. You're very rigth... it's very true how much things have changed - last year at this time he was 2 weeks old and loved to look at lights too! Our little boys are growing up too quickly!
