It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....

It's hard to believe that there are ONLY 20 more days until Christmas! It seems like were were just celebrating our October birthdays and even Thanksgiving! Where does the time go? Rayna is REALLY enjoying the season this year! Every morning the VERY first thing she wants to do is turn on the Christmas tree! She just can't get enough of the lights! We also have started a Christmas Countdown calendar, and every day we uncover a treat. IF it were up to Rayna - we'd have ALL the treats eaten by now! hahaha! Typical 2 year old! A milestone we've recently reached is that Rayna is in a "big girl" bed now (well, it's her crib, but converted into a toddler bed. I got her some new "grown-up" girl bedding, and she just LOVES IT! What is funny is that she does not think she can get out of it. So, if anything is dropped she instantly yells for Andy or I to come get it for her! I'm certainly not complaining about this because it helps me to sleep at night! Right now she is GAGA over Toy Story 3 - we can not get enough of Buzz, Woody or Jessie! She has certain parts of the movie memorized, which is so funny to watch her act them out! She still doesn't seem to understand that she's going to a Big Sister, but she has recently started to go to the fridge and point to the ultrasound picture and say "BABY". I'm not quite sure if she knows that is her baby brother or sister though :). It will be fun to see how she reacts in April when the baby arrives! Hard to believe that I am 22 weeks along, and only 18 more to go! Time sure does seem to be flying this pregnancy! I hope that everyone's Christmas season is going well - we can not wait to celebrate!! :)

Every year we pick out an ornament for Rayna. This year I found this neat one, which also lights up! She is always wanting to have the lights on! Hopefully someday she wille enjoy these ornaments on her tree :)

I think she looks like she is doing her Vanna White impression here! Look at my TREEEEE!!!

Everyone has to be a little silly sometimes :)

Rayna was in a VERY good mood anyway the morning I took this picture, but she knew that a trip to Chuck E Cheese was at stake, so she HAPPILY smiled at the camera for that! hahaha!

Say TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
