Geez Louise - where does the time go?!! Hard to believe Christmas is just 10 days away - and I haven't even STARTED shopping!! At least Christmas cards are done and I have started to bake cookies, but soooo much to do!! What an awesome Christmas it is going to be with Heather and Alan here and the our new little addition, Bailey!!
We got to spend last weekend with Justin, Krista, Charlee and Bailey as we headed up to Disney for Charlee's Birthday! It was Dave's birthday too that weekend - DisneyWorld gave them special Birthday Pins!
All didn't go as planned, but it ended up being a day just full of wonderful memories!! We took Charlee to the night parade at Disney and for Cinderella's Castle fireworks!! 
(Dave's back was KILLING him by the end of the night! lol - the joy of being "Pap")
The fireworks were so BEAUTIFUL!! Of course all set to Jiminy Cricket talking and Tinkerbell flying through the air (which Charlee later told me "it's a girl dressed up like Tingerbell, Mimi, and she was zipping on a rope!" She is so smart -nothing fools her!).
If you have never experienced this, take a few minutes (about 10 minutes) to watch the video I took with my camera! It was amazing - and to see Charlee's face and watch her lips move saying "WOW" was worth the world!! Here's the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0z3R5TZqrA
Of course, Bailey was excited too!! She is smiling a lot lately and starting to make those adoreable cooing sounds as she tries to talk!!
So, now the Holiday preparation begins! I'll be doing some baking tonight - I have so much baking to do - but it's what I love to do for the holidays!! We have a Christmas party tomorrow and I want to take a tray of cookies - hmmm - maybe some baklava, some snowflake cookies, butterballs and chocolate crinkles!! I'd do some lady locks, but a little too time consuming right now - Heather will have to help me with those!
Heather and Alan are adapting so well to Florida life!! Heather started her job at the bank and it is so her!! She is definitely well suited as a banker! Alan has some extremely promising job leads and I'll bet he'll be working by Wednesday. He has been pounding the pavement and it is starting to pay off. They have made some great friends and I'm so glad! They decorated their house real nice for the holidays. We went to the beach yesterday and they took a few pictures:
And Heather and I took one too:
Be sure to check out the Online Photo Albums link to your right on this page - I have updated/added November and December albums!
So - have I bored you enough??!! Gotta get moving and get some stuff done! I'll update more later this week!
Love,
CherylAnn
