I can't believe that my daughter is 4years old already, my son is 8 months old and my husband and I have been together and happy for nearly 6 years now! <3
I'm sooooo excited for the holidays!!! Especially this year! I can't wait to spend them with my family and welcome in the new year!
We decorated for Christmas today! The plan was to do it yesterday since we were in NY for Thanksgiving and didn't get back until Sunday night, we didn't get to do it on our usual time which is the weekend after Thanksgiving. Last night things ended up getting too late because before we decorate our tree we need our 2010 ornament. Sean and I, on our first Christmas together decided that a tradition we would start is each year, each person chooses a new ornament for the tree and that's the last thing that goes on before the star. Last year was the only year we didn't do it because Sean was in Afghanistan and it didn't feel right to do it without him. This year we went out, Chloe got her ballerina ornament, Liam got a baby's first Christmas ornament, Sean got a Perry the Platypus ornament and I got a Miss Piggy and Kermit the frog ornament :)
I need to find a new Fennessey family one too, now that we have mister Liam :) After the tree we put up lights in the kitchen windows and earlier today Chloe helped me put the light up candy canes along the front walkway. There's a little more to do but it will get finished up this week.
We decided that we are going to be in North Carolina for Christmas. It will be our last December living here and only time that we will spend Christmas without any extended family. It will be just us 4 :)
I'd really like to be with our families but this makes more sense and will be special to spend our first Christmas as a family of 4 in our home.
New Years may be celebrated in PA...I'm keeping my fingers crossed we do it because I miss my family a ton!! 2011 looks like its going be a great year, well atleast I hope that it's going to be a great year for us. There will be alot of change but alot of good change. I'm sooo looking forward to moving back to the north. We will be living on Long Island in New York and I'm anxious to see how this goes. Looking for jobs and place to live should be interesting and fun but I just hope its not too long of a process. I'm nervous about not being able to find a job right away but I keep looking and plan to apply at places closer to moving time. I'm also nervous about our house here in NC. We are putting it on the market in January and I'm praying that it sells or rents out fairly soon!
We'll thats all for now...I need to try to catch up on some sleep, Liam is teething and had momma up for awhile last night and just as he was going back to sleep, my 6am alarm was going off! Booo! Looking at the clock now and 6am is just getting closer... g'night!
