Christmas Countdown

Another family with our agency received a referral for a toddler/preschool age little girl. Woohoo! I don't know many details, but it's always good to hear that those referrals are coming in.

We are definitely on the Christmas Countdown train at our house. Andrew can't wait until Santa comes to visit. He has informed me that he is "staying awake to catch Santa". I know kids have been plotting and planning this for years, but my child has an amazing capacity to keep himself awake. I'm hoping that the threat of Santa not coming if he's not asleep will stop this from being a problem. Otherwise the night before Christmas will be one late night in our house.

Tomorrow we're going to visit Santa. Yay! Andrew's really excited this year, and I think that he'll actually enjoy it. His first Christmas he was too tiny to see Santa. The last few Christmases he was excited until he got into Santa's lap, and then he froze. Hopefully, this year he'll actually talk and lose the deer in the headlights look.

Patrick and I are going to our first official Christmas Party tonight, and I have this really cute sweater dress I got from Banana Republic that I want to wear. But the weather here is kind of cool, and the party is sort of inside/outside so I'm afraid I'll freeze to death. Would it be totally inappropriate to wear my sweats?

Well I'm off to make myself presentable. My hair is super wild today, so hopefully I can tame it a little bit. Have a great evening everyone.
