Anna loves the Christmas tree. The lights, the ornaments, the presents under it, everything! Her favorite thing is to get the big present (hers, and she actually already plays with the toy, we wrapped up the empty box) and she pushes it around like a walker. It's pretty cute!
I broke my favorite Mary plate yesterday. It was a gift and it was beautiful. We had it sitting on Anna's bookshelf in her room. It was a constant reminder of how I was supposed to be as a mother. And I broke it... sad...
Speaking of breaking things, I have quite the track record. I broke two pieces to a nativity set that we have. Luckily I was able to hot glue them back together. We then noticed that we had a nativity in every room except for Anna's. And then Jeremy reminded me that we DID have on in there at one point. And that I had broken it... It was on the same shelf as the Mary plate. Maybe that shelf isn't a good place for breakables!
I finally found some stuff that makes Anna's curls soft and defined instead of frizzy and knotty! I wish I would have bought it a long time ago, but I wanted to do my research first before I spent what seemed like a lot of money on hair stuff. Now that I've used the products, I can't believe I waited so long! Here's what I got and love! I just can't believe how soft and moisturized her hair looks and feels now! And I was able to comb it all the way out with no tears! Worth it, right there!
(This is just my opinion on this product, I was not asked to write a "review", I simply wanted to share my good news :-)
Anna thinks she's a big kid. When we got family pictures taken last week, there was a lego table in the waiting area. It was surrounded by 2,3,and 4 year olds. When I put her down, she waltzed right up there made a place for herself and took another kid's legos (the kid didn't care thankfully). We couldn't stop laughing at the way she fit in with the "big" kids. And Wed. we went to McD's with some friends and she acted like she owned the place. She tried climbing into the tubes and standing on the slide and running after the other kids. She doesn't care if she gets knocked over or pushed or anything. She just wants to be big!

Sad about breaking the Mary plate! We had a statue of St. Joseph and then one of Mary holding Jesus that went together, but St. Joseph broke. :(
Also, we are SO, SO excited to see you guys, too! I've been meaning to ask you, are we doing Christmas gifts for the kiddos or skipping it because they're still so young and won't care. Also, I was at Target yesterday and decided we should get the kids matching PJs to wear! Theodore and Matthias can have blue ones and Anna can have pink ones. I'm now on the hunt for the perfect pair! :)
We were planning on getting T and M gifts from Anna, I think that would be a sweet tradition. I think we'll doing homemade gifts though, something personal. :-) It's fun we can plan baby gift exchanges this year!
And matching PJ's would be adorable... And a picture in front of the tree. Yup, definitely needs to happen! Let us know and we'll give you $ for Anna's pjs! She's wearing 18 month sleepers right now (big CD bum at night, the rest of her clothes are 12M)
That really stinks about all the broken stuff. :-( I'm sorry.
I'm so glad you found hair products for Anna. Not being ethnic myself, but just having massively frizzy hair, its hard to find products that work.
