Friday Bullets

So much to say, so I thought I would try this bullet thing today!

*Tonight, Doug, Briana and I are going over to my parents' house for dinner tonight to celebrate Chanukah with my dad. Briana will be watching Grandpa light the menorah for the first time tonight! Happy Chanukah!

*Kathy and Matt made it to China! They get Chani on December 10th and I am so excited for them!

*I still have so much to do for Christmas. From decorating the house to shopping to wrapping gifts - I have so much to do. How am I supposed to get it all done with an active 16 month old under foot? Any suggestions?! :)

*Wednesday, my mom, my sister, Briana and I headed to the mall for a ladies day out. We had tons of fun. I did manage to get a few gifts, but I still have work to do. The mall has a carousel, and for years I would look at that carousel and dream of the day I could take my child on it. Well, Wednesday I did...

*My friend Miranda and her two boys are coming over to my house next week to visit and meet Briana. I can't wait!

*And finally, I just want to say I love being a mom. It is the toughest job I have ever had in my whole life and I am pretty dang tired. Really dang tired. There are days when Briana just wears me out. But when she hugs and kisses me and just smiles at me, everything is right with the world. It's true love...
