Christmas and other Random Ramblings

I have not been a great blogger in 2010. I would say that i resolve to be better at this in 2011 but unfortunately with all that is going on, I can't promise that other than to say I will do my best!

We had a great Christmas this year. It was very fun to see Izzy get so into Santa and opening her presents. She was so funny on Christmas Eve, she told DH to be sure not to light a fire in the fire place because she wanted to make sure Santa did not burn his "tushie"!!!
As usual Izzy made out in the present department. She asked for Calico Critters, makeup and new Sunglasses and she of course got it all with many other things. Being that I am Jewish she got a few Hanukah presents as well which included the Just Dance game for Kids for Wii which I must admit is pretty fun and it is a great way for her to burn some energy in the cold winter months! Even DH gets up and does it a little with her and he HATES to dance :) The other Hannukah gift she got (and then got some games for it for X-mas) was teh Fisher Price iXL. This little game player has been PERFECT for her especially in the car. It was totally designed well for her age group, i didn't even have to show her how to use most of it, she figured it out on her own. Her favorite part is that it is part mp3 player so I can load her songs to it so she can sing along. Which seemed to be one of her favorite Christmas songs. She LOVES The Chipmunk Song and the Jackson 5 version of Santa Claus is coming to town. She sings at the top of her lungs! We have gotten some great video of her singing and dancing along to it as well.

I am in total denial that she will be 4 in 3 weeks! I can't believe it has been 4 years already. As always this time of year i always think about C, and wonder how she is doing. I did get a brief email from her just before Christmas which was nice. She of course wished us a very merry christmas and the best of wishes. I am working on getting together my packet of pictures and a letter together to send to teh agency for our 4 year update.

I am trying to decide what to do about Izzy's bday party. There is a part of me that really doesn't want to do ti at our house again, but can't come up with many fantastic venues to do it that don't cost a fortune. I better make a decision soon her Bday is fast approaching!
I promise to do a 4 year update with all of the things that Izzy is up to lately so that I document her as she is right now before she changes and I forget.

So happy to hear that you all had a fabulous Holiday season- loved all the pictures!!!! Your daughter is so adorable and photogenic;) Love that pink dress she was wearing! My daughter won't wear pink if she could she would wear purple head to toe every day-LOL! We too got the Just Dance Kids wii game and my daughter LOVES it!!! I told her she needs to eat more (she is beyond picky when it comes to food etc...)for all the energy she is using dancing and singing LOL! Look forward to the 4 year update:)

Glad you had a nice holiday! And truly, it's very hard to believe we have almost four year olds!!!! I'm struggling with what to do for T's birthday as well.....having winter b'days in Michigan is not the most fun.
