Our Wonderful Family: 2008-12-07

Well, it's almost here....Christmas that is :) & it's getting closer by the second & I'm not ready yet!!!! I still have more shopping to do. Obviously nobody has received a card from me because, well, I haven't gotten any done. Ooops! I promise I will get back into the swing of things by next year. If anyone needs my address though (because I love getting Christmas cards) it's:

1463 Perry Twp Rd 35

Wooster, OH 44691

Dominic has been busy practicing for a small Christmas program he will be doing at pre-school next Friday. He loves singing all the songs! He has a great class & wonderful teachers. He even learned about keeping secrets around Christmas & made me a present in a little reindeer bag that is sitting under our tree & I'm not allowed to open it till Christmas.....ahhhh! I wanna know what it is! I love all the things he gets to make in school.

Gino has been busy, well, just talking. He's talking in complete sentences now. Still sometimes hard to understand, but for the most part I can usually figure out what he's trying to say. He's such a goofball....always making us smile (unless he's making us very angry....which does happen too....he has quite a rotten streak). Potty training still not going so well, but I will keep trying. He's most definitely a different child than Dominic! But we still love him.

We had SO much fun going to pick out our tree as we do every year (except last year when we just put up a Charlie Brown tree). We went on a Sat. & it was a perfect snowy day, not to cold. It didn't take us long to find one, but we had fun looking around anyways. It was pretty big (11ft), but we did manage to get it into Andy's truck :) & into our house. Good thing we have high ceilings.

The next day we got to decorate it. We had to use a step stool....& even than I still couldn't reach the top haha. The boys had fun putting all the ornaments on though & they did a pretty good job too!

And THAN came the train....what fun! Dominic loves this part of Christmas. Getting to put Daddy's train around the tree. And this year was extra special because not only did we get to put Daddy's train up BUT we got the Polar Express Train too. So now we have not one, but two train tracks running around the bottom of our tree. How festive! Now I get to see smoke & hear loud train whistles ALL day! Oh the joys of Christmas!
