Settling In...

30:  That's how many hours I've collectively slept over the past 7 days.  I've been a woman on a mission, and with 2 small children and a husband who has to spend most of his time at the office, moving is not an easy task!  Especially in the middle of the already stressful holiday season.  But, aside from a few boxes of clothes, we are officially moved into our new house!  Although I spent more time cleaning than I did unpacking, it's now starting to feel like home.  Hailey loves her new room and her new Christmas tree!  I'm exhausted, and could easily spend the rest of the week sleeping, but it's the holiday season, so I've got to get my second wind soon.  Doug's Christmas party is tomorrow night, and I still have Christmas shopping to do!

Standing by her Christmas tree in her new living room!

"Presents Mommy!"  "Open it?!"

Showing me her muscles!

Daddy likes our new house because it's closer to his work (by 1 whole minute!!)

Lainey has been enjoying her first Christmas!

Of course, Buggy decided that she wanted to start potty training during our moving week!  She's going full force with it too!! 

Watching tv from her new favorite spot (on the treadmill), in her new playroom. 

This little girl is OBSESSED with Christmas lights!!  After spending hours in Pearl driving around looking at lights, we discovered YouTube and it's many videos of "Christmas lights set to music."  She will sit in the office all day, watching them.  Her favorite is the light show set to the classic song, "Cotton Eye Joe!" 

We were so excited to have our first playdate in our new house!  Bug couldn't nap today because she was so excited to see Robert and his baby brother, Joshua!

I still think they are soul mates!

And Lulu and Joshua seem to have great chemistry too!

I wouldn't wish a move to a new house, with a baby and a 2 year old, in the middle of the Christmas season, on my worst enemy.  BUT, now we're unpacked, the house is clean (for the most part), our tree is up, the house is decorated, and Christmas cards have been sent.  

Can you guess who has been naughty and who has been nice this year?!!



And now I can finally relax and soak up the memories with my sweet baby girls, in our new home, during Christmas.
