BAH HUMBUG

You will definitely want to watch these two videos! Both were taken on Gobble Gobble Day this year and the one below is how Audrey greets my dad when he gets home from work when my mom is watching Audrey. It is so sweet.

Audrey LOOOOVES her grandma and grandpa

Silly...

*Bah Humbug*... One holiday down, a few more to go. Phew. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I guess when you think something is going to be terrible and its not, then its kinda okay. It was pretty much like any other day except I ate Turkey and Stuffing. I don't even really like Turkey or Stuffing...or pie for that matter. *Bah Humbug* I totally skipped out on pie this year. I'm glad I got to have a nice dinner with my parents. On the other hand, we have nice dinners together about three times a week. *Bah Humbug*

Its not that I dont like Thanksgiving. I do (sorta). Its just a silly holiday I think. I much prefer other holidays... like Valentines Day. Now, thats my all time favorite! I'm sure you don't really want to know what I think about the holidays this year... oh wait, I think I've made it pretty clear. Besides, I have plenty to be thankful for and I need a turkey dinner to remind me of those things *rolls eyes and Bah Humbugs* I know, I know, a lot of people have big family get togethers and its, like, totally, so fun. So shoot me..SHEESH! Plus I had to work that night, meaning NO vino with dinner.  SUCK yo! The joys of being a nurse....but atleast one Cheeser was pretty excited....

Audrey actually got to eat the meal this year! I remember last year, she cried and had to be held the entire time..

This year she got to grub down on some Gobble but her favorite part was the stuffing.. that was until she started throwing her food everywhere. I told her 'NO!' and she pouted and wouldnt look at me for quite some time. What a boogercheese.

After dinner, Audrey decided to show off her Lady Gaga impersonations. 

"Rah, Rah ah ah ah

Roma, Roma, ma

Gaga, Oh, La la"

See the resemblance? haha

Dont worry, as much as I love to shake my booty to Lady Gaga, I DO NOT want Audrey to look like her...enough said...

And guess what?!

We put the tree up! You know...the TREE!

So, we put it up and I had to laugh. It looked small, horrible and lopsided. I almost thought about taking it down and buying another. But hey, I'm no money bags this year, so its gonna have to do. It ended up looking very pretty. I am pleased.

PEACE, LOVE and GRUB

Can you tell that this is Audrey and I?

 For being such a Bah Humbergerer I really do enjoy Christmas. Especially all the songs, wintergreen and peppermint scents and glittery decorations. So just for the occasion, I turned on our favorite Christmas CD, poured me a glass of Chardonnay, and took out the 15 boxes of decorations I have. One problem. My townhome isnt as big as my old house so about 13 boxes had to be put away...

Look at the mess we made!

Here is a blurry picture of Audrey assisting me in decorating. I think she assists more in the undecorating aspect. I am contemplating pulling off the decorations at the bottom and putting them all up top. She pulls all the ornaments off and hides them all over the house. I went to take the trash out a few days ago and it sounded like Jingle Bells at the bottom of the trash bin.

I have been having a lot of fun lately. I pretty much wake up at 630am the days I dont work, plan some fun snowshoeing in the morning, run errands after shoeing, home by 3 so Audrey can nap, make dinner, clean house, facebook, blog, bedtime. I've figured out that the life of a mom is constant gogogo. I think I must have been so unproductive before I had Audrey...sleeping in til noon, staying up all night...*daydream*...

So, I just had to plan a snowshoe with some of my friends! I decided we should go up to Lake Mary at Brighton since it was a guaranteed snowy snow snow snowshoe

Some of us chicas!

These were the snowshoers of the day! We had three more friends with us that were backcountry skiing and we met them at the top

It ended up being a pretty good uphill climb

The 'Pamela/Wendy/Leg' Pose

I didn't have Audrey on my back and I felt like I could jog all the way up the mountain. Its amazing what a difference it makes

Look who made it to the top!!

We's the Shiz

Havilah doing a snow dance in her ski's for us girls

So, I should be packing right now. I'm being the biggest procrastinator in the world. Audrey is napping and its all her stuff I need to pack....so I blog instead...We's be going on a vacation tomorrow...and I'll be sure to blog ALL about it...Oh wait, she's up! UNTIL NEXT TIME! PEACE IN YOUR HOODS!
