Getting Ready For Christmas

Well we made it through Thanksgiving but it was a looooooooooooong weekend.  Allen worked the entire time and both kids were sick which wasn't fun.  They've both had a wet cough for almost 2 weeks now and got runny noses over the weekend.  I was convinced they'd do better if we could get some fresh air but it was too cold to take them outside.  Chan's also continuing to teeth so he's been waking up a lot at night.  Needless to say, Allen and I are very tired but thankfully Esme seems to be on the mend.  We just need to get Chan-Chan better!

We did manage to get our Christmas tree after Thanksgiving.  We asked Esme what kind she wanted and she said "a itty bitty tiny one."  We managed to convince her otherwise and brought home a nice 7 foot tree.  It took us about 3 days to get it all together since Esme's attention span for decorating was just a few minutes at a time.  But now she loves lighting it up every night and talking about the presents underneath it.  We have to keep Chan Chan far away from it though cause as soon as we put him on the floor he goes straight for it.

Esme was very serious about decorating her gingerbread house
