Dressed for Christmas

Today is Christmas Eve Day! And Hanna's getting all dressed up for the occasion with a Santa's hat for her head and Christmas stockings for socks!

Try get a picture of her looking at the camera??? Good luck! Maybe in the New Year.

From Hanna's Home to yours,
A Very Merry Christmas!

8 days & counting!

Can you believe it? 8 more days to Merry Christmas. I know, because I'm counting them down with an  e-card series to share with family and friends. Check it out.

I created this as a gift to my online 'family' to remind them to savour the Christmas season versus be snowballed by it. Today, day 8, we celebrate snowflakes... like people... unique and beautiful.

Check it out.

P.S. I promise... more pictures of Hanna soon!

Eye bells

Yesterday Hanna came rushing around the corner in tears, "Mama I hurt my eye bells..."

"Your eye balls?"

"No my eye bells!" - poking herself in the eye to show. "Me need ice for my eye bells."

No arguing with a two-year old. Out came the ice and the eyes bells were healed. The concepts children get at such a young age. What exactly do we learn for the rest of the years we walk this earth???

Oh, I have so much more to share. We visited Hanna's birthparents last week AND we're almost fully potty-trained. A busy and exciting week!

More about that when I have a moment,
Paula

Dear God...

(As you read this, remember that Hanna has trouble saying 's' at the start of words)

Hanna and I have begun a little prayer ritual each night. "Dear God thank you for..."

It can be anything... me, her dad, the weather, her baby doll... anything that comes to mind. I'm always curious to see what will surface. Last night, she put her hands together in prayer and smiled as she whispered...

"Dear God, thank you for 'marties..."

Then she looked up to the ceiling and with a clap of the hands yelled

AMEN!

(kids just get it... including how to prayer!!!)
