This Christmas went by so fast. I was very prepared this year but when the day got closer I found myself scrambling for last minute things. Can you ever be 100% ready? The kids have had a great Christmas break so far. I will be happy when school in back in. The boys have already completed all the legos they got that I thought would take all break to build.
The biggest news that has taken place is that Santa brought Charley a new member of the family. Yes you have read it correctly we have decided to get a dog. Little Charley for that past 2 years has asked for a dog. I have always said no and each time I did the look on her little face just killed me. We have talked and talked about it and it just never felt right. Well back in November my cousin posted that her dog was going to have puppies and the minute I heard about it I couldn't stop thinking that we needed one. I called her and the next thing I knew we were getting a dog. The little puppy wouldn't be able to leave her mommy until the middle of January so we had to figure out a way to tell Charley she was getting the dog. With Tami's help we got a picture of her and a little pillow and placed the picture along with a letter from Santa explaining she was going to come to our home in January. Charley didn't quite understand. I read the letter to her and she had this puzzled look on her face and said "but mommy I want a real puppy". Since then we have explained time and time again that we will be picking up the puppy in January and bringing her home. She tells everyone all about her and carries around the picture in her purse. She have named her Belle after beauty and the beast.( Her all time favorite movie). I am looking forward to the new member of our family. I know it is going to be a total adventure but well worth it.
