Up on the housetop...

Its been a crazy and wonderful December.  Zoe, J, Chase and I have been taking full advantage of all the Christmas activities in town! Zoe has eaten it up!  She LOVEs Christmas lights and always wants to walk around and touch them all.  Her favorite songs are "up on the housetop" and "rudolf" and she can sing them with a little help from me (which is more than I can say for her daddy!)  She actually really liked meeting Santa this year and commented to me when we saw him a second time that he didnt have his black boots like the other day.  Oh, my shoe girl.  She asked Santa for Princess Belle and he delivered! We celebrated first at Gigi and Pops' house with the crazy boys.  Amazingly they all slept untill 8:30!  It was crazy with all those kiddos.  Chase and Zoe got a house for the patio that all the kids enjoyed.  And, Zoe got a Cinderella dress which she insisted on wearing the entire day.  Her first comment after putting it on was "But I dont have high heels!!!"  Oh dear.  And my little Chaser - he got a Radio Flyer walker wagon from GiGi and Pops and promptly took his very first steps on Christmas morning! Crazy!  We had a fun day with all the fam then shifted over to LaLa and Pappy's.  Zoe got a princess tent which she spent most of the morning in (while in her princess dress).  Even with all those new toys she still wanted all LaLa's high heels.  Her favorite gift of the day - her own cinderella high heels.  Favorite quote of the day was when LaLa gave her a white napkin with her snack to which she responded "but LaLa, I want a pretty(colorful Christmas) napkin!" -which is funny because at home, all we have are usually paper towels, but she knows LaLa always has the pretty ones during the holidays!  Chasey just grinned and grinned all Christmas long and was enthralled with all the paper and of course tried to eat EVERYTHING on the floor.  Just in the span of a week he is now trying to pull up on anything he can and just wants to be in the action.  He makes me smile SO much and is my sweet sweet boy.  Such a cuddler too!  Everyone still asks me if he always smiles this much.  Yep.  Chaser, you are going to make new friends so easily! and you are such a big eater! Tonight, Zoe was eating her dinner and Pappy asked her why she wasn't eating her steak.  She said "Im procrastinating Pappy!"  Pretty big word for my not yet 3 year old!  I feel so blessed by the fun times we had over the past month.  What a December!
