It seems like we just finished Thanksgiving...now we are here on Christmas Eve! I now realize what my Grandmother from Missouri meant by telling me often, "Once you have children, your life goes by fast." Between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, I did the followings...
- Complete and defend my research study (I made an A on it!)
- Help my parents decorate their house for Christmas - (aww, memories came back when I hung up their family ornaments.)
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Visit my parents' new church and let Jax experience what Sunday School was like!
- Make a Santa handprint out of clay (with Jax's help!)
- Paint Jax's Nativity footprint plate (it took me a while to get his perfect footprint)
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Bake tons of sweets - Grinch cookies, Candy Cane peppermint cookies, peppermint rice krispies, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered peanut butter crackers, Christmas chocolate chips cookies, cranberry almond bars, magic bars, oh my goodness, have I made too much sweets...umm, yes, however, I gave MOST of them away to my co-workers, parents, sister, my boyfriend and his family, and my roommate and her parents! :)
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Paint all of my students' Christmas handprint plates - sigh, I'm so thankful for my awesome aide who helped me a lot with this project.
- Prepare for a big Christmas program at my work...I'm still PROUD of my preschool students for doing great jobs acting!
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Go out with JASH girls twice!
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Christmas shop on my own and with my boyfriend (I learned that he is a serious shopper!)
- Wrap all of my presents (this year, I decided not to spend that much $$ on gifts because I am on a tight budget - I just finished paying some of my last semester's tuition - yikes!)
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Have my regular dental visit with Jax who behaved well during the entire visit!
- Visit my mom at her work
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Have lunch with my sweetie
- Have lunch with my sister
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- Have lunch with my Dega friends
- Eat at The Fish Market with my mom's lovely boss and my family and then the boss' house for some great coffee and desserts!
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...
- De-stress! De-stress! (Trying to say to myself, "Suzanne, do nothing! Sit! Wait, I need to go and finish my laundry...oh, I need to take out trash...sigh!" :)
- Feed Jax, play with him, bathe him, and change his diaper...(my life with Jax just keeps getting busier, but I LOVE being his mommy!)
