Tis the season to Christmas and potty?

It's December?!  Whoops!
Us ladies made our way to Scenic Falls Credit Union (plug)  where my handsome hunny works and saw none other than Santa Claus! In the flesh people!

We played in Dad's office long enough to destroy it and then went down to meet the jolly ol' elf.
Sadly the photo with Dad and Santa cannot be found and homey don't have time to search the archives.  You will just have to appreciate how adorable we look.
p.s. Zoey wouldn't sit on Santa's lap.  Big surprise.   Totally surprised that Lucy did tho!

I opted to go with a new do.

Mostly just to freak people out.

My patients don't recognize me.

Nor did my husband.

I'm digging the bangs though!

The girls are tearing into their Christmas Eve pj package.

Life's a blur baby!

They have Frozen pj's!  Could life get better?!  I submit that it cannot!

Lucy bright eyes and my trouble maker Zoey.

And a wagon!  Life just got better!
And Mom even got her way! jiggity jig! (I'm listening to Dominic the Donkey, top ten of my favorite Christmas songs)

Dad wanted a more affordable, *cough* lame wagon.

Mom wanted the nostalgic one that she grew up with.

And there ya have it.

Thank goodness one of us gives in. :)

And thank goodness G&G Pace helped us out with this purchase!

Ok AND we woke up to snow on Christmas!  For a while there I thought they were going to be able to play with their wagon outside, wrong.

Yeah Christmas Eve Lucy was out riding her bike.
What gives ?

This dog goes crazy in the snow.

Which makes no sense because she pretty much has no fur on her belly. She comes in the house and her belly is bright red.

Time to get her a jacket.

Silly puppy.

The day after Christmas we bought a new tree.

Our other one was given to us and was looking pretty bare. (ok so my Mom says I just needed to pull the branches out but nawww.)

How could we not get it?  It comes pre-decorated.  Complete with berries, and pine cones.  Win, win!

All I had to add was an Iced Pine Scentsy circle.

Nailed it!

This is so atypical of me.  Usually I'm tearing the holiday decor down the day of because I can't stand the clutter.

My house is bigger then I'm used to and I love my tree!

It shall be my Valentine's day tree! (great now I'm one of those weirdos!)

On another note my 2 year old is potty training herself.

It's very handy.  I just wish she'd go ahead and master it.

Yeah so for the last like 4 months I just made it a point to tell her what was going on with the big porcelain thing in the bathroom.

Yep I peed in front of my child.

She flushed the toilet for me!

And Lucy shows her too.

We opted to NOT have Clay show her and confuse her.  My children make enough messes they don't need any other ideas.

So now she tells me, not every time, when she needs to potty.

It's rather splendid!

She even fell in once and totally got over it.

It's a Christmas miracle!
I highly suggest you convince your child to teach themselves.

Had I only thought to tell that to Lucy!
