December 10, 2001

We got our tree!! Finally! Jake even helped me decorate it while Sidney was napping. It turned out pretty I think, even with all the baby-proof ornaments on it. We took the kids outside last night to see how it looked from outside, Sidney thought it was pretty neat, but then she wanted to walk around and look at the neighbors too(we weren't dressed for it!!). Next Sunday we'll drive around and look at Chrsitmas lights, after daddy's b-day dinner. Next week(the 18th) is daddy's b-day. I'm hoping to get him a Play Station 2, if all works out. He loves his football and hockey games.

Well, the kids got their flu shots last week. It was pretty funny, Sidney was so excited to see the doctor, she was busy looking through all the stickers and the nurse got her...she didn't like that one bit. Poor thing, started crying, I felt bad since she was so excited to be there. Jake on the other hand, didn't flinch, he had no clue he had just gotten a shot in his leg, we all laughed about that.

Earlier that day we also visited Santa at the mall. Sidney didn't cry this year(she did last year) but Jake cried, that surprised me. So needless to say, the pic didn't turn out all that well...oh well, at least we have something to remember it by!!

Well, I think the kids are all ready for Christmas. I've gotten all their presents done(they're the only ones done!!). Jake is getting lots of Little Tikes trucks, he'll like pushing those around. I'm going to find him a baby doll though too, he's been playing with some of Sidney's, hugs and pat's their backs, so very cute!!! And Sidney is cleaning up with Barbie's this year, but it's weird, because she always asks for Barbie's but then doesn't play with them much. Maybe she'll grow into them??

Well, and my nice gift this season, I got AF back! I guess I can't complain, I've only had Af 3 times in 3 years, since I got prego with Jake within 2 months of getting her back after Sidney turned 1. I just didn't miss her!!! Well I better go Jake is hanging on me, he hates if I don't pay attention to him!! HUGS and happy nursing, Chanda :)
