The Holidays Are Here!

I can't believe the holidays are here already this year. I know every year I say the same thing...but this year its even more unbelievable for some reason. The past year has flown by, especially the past almost 7 months and what a great year it has been! We headed home (Omak) for Thanksgiving to spend time with family and friends. It was really nice. Now just around the corner we have Christmas! This year is the year I'm going to finally be ahead of schedule. Our inside decorations are up, most of the Christmas shopping is done and soon enough we will get to kick back, relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Capri is doing great! She remains easy-going, happy and extra cuddly these days. We are absolutely loving this stage. She laughs, smiles, coos, and is really showing her character. She is also becoming very mobile! No crawling yet but so very close! She is able to get places fairly fast by way of rolling, scooting and crawling backwards. She has discovered the Christmas tree lights and the present that Ryan so kindly placed under the tree for me before we left for Thanksgiving (yes that's right, our decorations were up before we left for Thanksgiving)...against the rules I know! I'm not sure if it is an empty wrapped box or if there is something in it but I know either way that it has been placed there to test my will power to not peek...he thinks its really funny! So will power I will have! Meanwhile, as I'm minding my manners, Capri has taken quite an interest in the package and has been slowly tearing little pieces of paper off each day, chewing on the box and poking holes in the top with her fingers. I certainly can't deprive my child of exploring new things so if something happens to appear and unveil itself to me, I suppose I'm helpless. ;-) Well I know I will be updating the blog more this month so stay tuned! In the meantime, I've attached a few photos of Capri. She is growing like a weed! Happy Holidays to all!
