* Here is Briana one year ago...
* Times certainly flies. Christmas is in six days people! Can you believe it? I can't. And I can't get over the above pictures of Briana. Look same hat, almost same pose! It is a complete coincidence. Briana is losing her baby face and looks more and more like a little girl every day.* Get a load of my scallop stir fry. I made it Tuesday night. It was so pretty, I had to take a picture. Good news is that is actually tasted good too. Yay me.
* Briana decided to try a new pose while assembling Legos. Interesting...
* Bri is lovin' her play-doh. She likes to make "snakes" and "worms" as you can see.
* Briana took her first independent gymnastics class today (it was a trial class). She did really well. There were times she would wander off a little, but as soon as the teacher called her to come back, she did right away. Over the last few weeks, Bri hasn't been wanting my assistance in the mommy and me class. She has been pushing my hands away because she wants to do everything by herself. That was a definite sign. She did so well today that I signed her up for an independent class that starts back up after the new year.* I am pretty happy that I don't have any specific plans for this weekend. Last weekend was my crazy, busy weekend. This weekend will be laid back. I can sit back and watch my Christmas movies (that is if Miss Briana lets me).
* The weather has been in the 70's for three days now. I am ready for it to be cold again. It just doesn't feel like Christmas weather to me.
* I better enjoy my quiet weekend because starting Monday, I am going to be super busy through Christmas Day.
* Oh - remember I heard angels singing at the library when Briana knew she was in trouble and actually felt bad about it? Um, yeah, I didn't hear them so much when she had a meltdown in Circuit City last weekend. Ugh.
* Well, meltdowns and all - this little girl brings me insane amounts of joy every day.
* Have a great weekend everyone!

I love that you have Briana "restricted" when she plays with playdoh!! I never did that and always ended up with playdoh EVERYWHERE! (and its such a bugga to get out of the carpet!)
Enjoy your "quiet" weekend?!
Thanks for reminding me Christmas is so close! I am also glad that I am not the only mother out there that had a child who has melt downs! Thanks for making me feel normal. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New year!
P.s Brianna get prettier every post! (if that's possible :-))
Love her in the Santa hat....adorabel!! Briana has changed so much this past year...WOW....it is funny how all of a sudden that baby face is gone....kind of sad.
Good news on the gymnastics....I am sure she will love the independent classes......and as for the meltdowns, we have had our fair share....it comes with the age!!
Enjoy your weekend....I am heading out to the mall for a couple last minute things....ugh..
Happy Holidays:)

Kaylee is totally naughty. No kidding. I bet she'd make Briana look like an angel.
Agreed that this weather has got to go. The clouds and rain especially have to go. Strike that, the clouds can stay as long as it brings snow with it.
We'll have to get together after Christmas. Eriks is pleading that he needs friends. I agree because although we love him, he's getting a bit on our nerves as of late.
I can't believe h0w much older Briana looks in just one year!!
Stir fry looks yummy.
Yes, the weather here has been CRAZY. I was pulling out old bushes in my yard in shorts and t-shirt the other day!!!
It is tough to be reminded how quickly our little ones grow even just within a year!! How sweet are those pics. What a pretty little Christmas dress she has!! It looks like the gawait christmas party was fun!! Thank you for the sweet Christmas card. Briana is too cute in her hat.
Enjoy this Christmas!! Who is more excited about this Christmas, Briana or you watching Briana?
Have fun,
Amy
