Santa Visits

Merry Christmas Everyone! This year was a lot of fun. Since Alexandra was a little older, she was actually able to help open the gifts. In true Christmas Eve Tradition - Santa Claus stopped by the house to make sure Alexandra was being good. She was so excited.

Alexandra got really spoiled this year between Santa, Gamma, Oma and us - I do not think there was a single thing she did not get. She loved playing with everything on Christmas morning - and afterall, that is what is important.

Big Girl Room

Alexandra has officially moved out of her crib and into a big girl room. We wanted to make sure this happened well in advance of Anthony's arrival - so she did not feel like she was getting kicked out for the new baby. We decided to make the room fun and paint it her favorite color - HOT PINK!

We went to Ikea to pick out all new furniture - which is good because it is low to the ground so if she tumbles out of bed, she will not get hurt. The transition went beautifully, she loves her new room and loves being a big girl.

Sea World

We went to Sea World this weekend with Aunt Daniela and Hailey and Oma. It was a lot of fun. The girls loved playing together and loved the Shamu show. Although I was pregnant, the weather was nice and cool and I also really enjoyed myself. Since it was around Christmas time, they had a visit Santa thing which was great for the kids.

Daddy played basket ball and was able to win Alexandra a huge Shamu. Great - this should be fun trying to get this thing back to Jacksonville

Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

Today we went to pick out our Christmas Tree. This is my favorite thing to do around the holidays. I love going through and smelling all of the fresh cut trees. Alexandra really enjoyed it and picked out a nice tall fluffy tree.
