happy holiday vacation!!

+ christmas break is in action!! 2 weeks of family, festivities, and fun... plus our first christmas as husband and wife!!

donny and i are in college station for the day- he is working today and i am wrapping christmas presents, doing the final bit of shopping, and hopefully doing all of the legal name change paperwork... i think i'd rather be at work!! i hate doing christmas shopping in the stores this close to christmas. i mentioned the other day that this is the latest i've ever done my shopping; i usually have it all done online by soon after thanksgiving. donny's response? "really? this is the earliest i've ever done mine!". and that, my friends, is the difference between men and women. at least donny has someone who can make sure the christmas shopping gets done from here on out :)

i'm ready to get back to houston for more family time, and in particular more kate time! she is at the cutest age right now. the other day when it was time for her nap her mom kept asking her "do you want to take a nap?" and that sharp little girl kept signing "all done". she also signs "more" all the time, although we suspect that she thinks it just means "want" because she overuses it a bit right now. in addition to her ten or so words, she makes animal sounds- a monkey, lion, and cow sound. she also claps with a huge smile on her face anytime you say "yay". we are trying to teach her other animal sounds, all of her family members/relatives' names, and how to blow kisses (or at least that is my agenda!). can you tell that i absolutely adore her?

trying to continue to do some CF to slightly counteract all of the junk i am constantly shoveling into my face...
