I can't believe it's Friday already! This week has been so busy! Wednesday night, Mary and Amanda came over for dinner. It was a nice break to the week. Usually I'm alone at night plus I don't get to see my girls all that often. Last night I put Annika in her exersaucer for the first time. Yeah, it was supposed to be a present from Santa Claus but when it arrived on Tuesday, Kris put it together right away and put her in it. He just couldn't wait. :) Anyway, she loved it and played for about 15 minutes which was just long enough for me to get all my Christmas gift wrapping stuff out and get 1 gift wrapped. Then she decided she'd had enough. So, I just laidd her on the floor next to me and she was fine and played some more. Eventually she got tired though so while she took about a half hour snooze, I finished my wrapping for the evening. Then we played together and read books until it was bedtime.

I just got back from lunch with Kris and Annika. Kris wanted to do some shopping at the mall near my work, so I met them at the local soup and sandwich shop. It was GREAT! I think we should do this once a week. Not only did I get to see my baby during the day, but I got to see my hubby too! Ah, the bliss.

Tomorrow we don't have anything planned except for maybe a swim at the gym for me. Sunday, we have our first family Christmas celebration for my Dad's side of the family. And then Monday I have to go back to work already! Boo! Good thing is it's only a 3 day week though since I have the 23rd and 24th off. Yay!
