Just the Two of Us!: December Festivities

Hard to believe that December is here and that Christmas it literally just around the corner. It's been a great month, lots of fun being had. I've been baking like crazy and I'm getting to the point where if I see another cookie or chocolate covered pretzel it's going to just push me way over the edge! lol

This month Hailey officially started girl scouts and we had our first outing with them at a Christmas tree farm here in Troy and made table centerpieces with our Christmas mugs and evergreens. It was a lot of fun. Hailey is going to enjoy girl scouts a lot, it's going to be something fun we'll be able to do together. Also this month Hailey and Grandma made their annual gingerbread house together, always something fun Hailey enjoys with Grandma. Toby sure enjoyed waiting by Hailey's seat waiting to see if anything would fall on the floor.

Speaking of Toby...the poor thing got a hair cut from me this month and for a while he looked like he had a lopside mohock or a small child went after him witha scissors. The groomer last time left the hair on his head way too long and there was no way I was gonna take him back just to get his head trimmed up. I thought I could do it no problem. Well...let's just say that now when Toby sees a scissors he starts to instantly shake. lol Poor guy. After numerous attempts to try to fix it I just let it go and it'll grow out looking ok right?? lol Some of our visitors definitely had a good laugh at him though when they came to our place.

And of course this month we watch Luked a couple of times for Aunt Tracy and Uncle Chris. Love that Lukester so much!!! Uncle Chris was deployed again this month so that was a sad but we'll see him in March just after Hailey's birthday. One of these years he will be at her birthday party!!

Last but not least our annual attempt to get a good Christmas card picture. Aunt Tracy took it this year and to say the least...Hailey was "lots of fun" while doing this. Thankfully we got a couple of good ones out of the 50 or so that Aunt Tracy took.
