Lovin the Holidays!

I absolutely love this time of year!!!! The decorations, smells, food, cold weather (yeah I am crazy I know) and SHOPPING. My Christmas trees went up before Thanksgiving this year (First time for that) and it was probably a good thing because the fam and I caught this nasty respiratory/sinus bug and we laid low....didn't go shopping or even got out of our jammies. I actually had the worst of it cuz I let the kiddos have the humidifiers. Tis the season to get colds I guess. Kids amaze us every day! Jaycee has learned very quickly that when you sound out letters that you can read.....so the spelling thing that parents do to talk when kids are in the room is now not allowed!!

Sicilee can put together 100 piece puzzles faster than I can and is loving preschool and asks every day if it is her day to go to school. Also, she has become a great colorer who stays in the lines (actually better then Jayc). Still is randomly swearing....at Red Robin the other night she grabbed a hot fry and her response "Ow, ow, ow, hot, SHIT" Definately my child and I laughed my butt off even though I shouldn't have in front of her!! She also has this new trait that she inherited from her Grampa Lou.....she points with her middle finger......always! It drives me bonkers and I am pretty sure Carlos still does it to this day so that might be one habit that won't be broke, it's just in her blood:)

Aynslee of course expands her vocabulary daily and has this new mimicking thing. For example I belched (not burped) pretty loud and then she leaned back sticking out her belly and totally did a fake burp. She can say pretty, Jayc, Sissy, up, thank you, please, night-night, nana, grandma, and a whole lot more! She has conquered stairs (HOORAY), has been broke of the bottle since her ear infections cleared up, and takes one long nap a day! She is at her super fun stage and we are eating it up. Her new fav.......coloring with the girls!!! All are growing up way too fast!!


Jaycee's 6th birthday is next weekend and she has a competition in Salt Lake so I am going to take her and Sissy down early and have a girls weekend and get our nails done, shop, and hit the hot tub at the Hotel! Will have to also take her out for a b-day dinner and have them sing to her!!!! It actually just hit me when I took my kids to the dentist for a check-up and cleaning (yes 4 cavities each.....YIKES!) and they informed me that Jaycee has her first loose tooth?!? I had to take one of those "holy crap.....I am getting old" mom moments! There is our Watts family update for now.
