More Christmas

I actually left the house this weekend (I know, surprising! but I am slowly starting to feel a little better), and almost everything we did was Christmas related. Friday my grandma called to invite us over to help decorate for Christmas. Baylee is so excited for Christmas and had so much fun decorating our tree, I knew she'd love it at my grandparents. My grandma fed us dinner, and then Baylee "helped" Ryan decorate the the little tree. I don't know how much help she was though. She's still having trouble figuring out how to put the ornaments on the tree, so she just kept sticking them on the tree skirt. I think Ryan was getting frustrated because Baylee also kept pulling off all the ornaments he was putting on the tree. I love how patient he is with her though, and love that he puts up with her. She loves Ryan, and everytime we are around him she tries to follow him around the whole time.

Saturday I was still feeling a little better, so I actually made it out to do a little Christmas shopping. It was only to Target, and it was also grocery shopping, but hey, three less people I still have to buy for! That night we went to Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights. It was a little on the chilly side this weekend, so yes, I am wearing a blanket in Arizona, but Baylee was cold too, so it must have been a little chilly. I know, I'm crazy.

We are excited for Christmas this year, and love that Baylee is so into it as well. It's fun to hear her singing her version of Jingle Bells, and talking about what Christmas is. As much as I want Christmas to hurry, please take your time. I'm not quite ready for it yet!

That was so fun decorating the tree and cactus. Ryan loved spending time with Baylee!
