Happy Holidays everyone!

I can't believe Christmas is almost here!! I am super excited.  I have been to the mall so many times in the past week. I can't believe I am saying this nut I am sick of the mall.  I am mall-ed out.   See ya next year MALL!!  There were way too many people... rude people who walks so fast and bumping into my stroller.. rude, annoying, stinky people....
Anywho....  we waited to hours for santa, we were trying to teach him "cheese" and smile for the camera, he went along with it and didn't seem to care when he saw all the other kids crying and screaming for their lives on santa's lap.  Infact.. he was waving HI to santa and everything.. smiling and playing... but as soon as I put him on santa's lap...he gave me THIS face.  He didnt cry.... he gave me this "deer caught in the headlight look".... the same look as last year.   Maybe he will smile NEXT year.

I am in such a good mood tonight, maybe its because of the holiday coming up, or that today was my last day of work (until next Tuesday) or that bottle of wine I just finished................yea I think it's all the above combined.

I can't wait till tomorrow night, spending Christmas eve over my parents house, Christmas day with the in-laws, and Monday will be my "do nothing but lounge around all day" day.

Holiday Party/Pot luck at the office.  I was in charge of the decorations :)

This is my contribution

Can't have a Christmas party without Christmas cookies!

I even decorated the plant in the conference room

Hubby got me Ginngie a few years ago as a stocking stuffer, I break her out every Christmas. (yes, it's a HER)

So that's all folks! Happy Holidays everyone! and be safe



Jacob's First Dentist Appointment and weekend recap

It went really well! I was shocked at how good he was being.  He opened his mouth nice and wide for them to clean.  He never opens that wide for ME!

BUT, his gums are swollen and infected.  The infection is due to the combo of him teething and a cold he caught.   The dentist said he was in a lot of pain which was why he hasn't been eating. 
Poor baby :(

It seem like he had so much fun at the dentist, he didn't want to leave!  He got some toys, a tooth brush and a sticker! He was such a happy camper.

His appetite is slowly coming back,  He ate a lot more yesterday then he did in 3 weeks.


After the dentist, we tried taking pictures with Santa.  Santa was super busy cause there was a 2 hour wait.    I looked at my husband and knew Jacob would not sit in his stroller for that long without freaking out.  So we had to skip Santa's lap.   We are hoping to go to Sesame Place for the Very furry Christmas event this coming Saturday and we will see Santa there.   We can only go if Jacob is feeling 100% better.  He still has a very stuffy nose.

Sunday was uneventful, we stayed home, I made congee (Chinese dish: rice soup), did some house work, laundry... the boring stuff.  

Ohh and I dyed my hair.  I decide to just go back to my roots, dark brown...

I got the Garnier Nutrisse in Sweet Cola, which is a dark brown.

and of course it looks BLACK on my head.

Feeling a little goth right now, but after a few wash I am sure it will lighten up a little bit, so it will look more natural.

Only 25 days until Christmas

I can't believe it's December already, this year has really flown by.

So it's time to get my Christmas list together and guess who is on top of that list??
My little Man, Jacob!

Here are a few things I have on my list for him:

Melissa and Doug
Pound & Roll Tower
I think he will have so much fun hitting the balls with the hammer..... but what else will he hit with that hammer?? The flat screen TV perhaps?



 
Pocoyo & Friends
Swiggle trak with Bridge
He loves watching pocoyo and he loves cars so this will be prefect.  His eyes light up everytime this comes on the commercials.
 

Sesame Street Let's Rock Elmo
He goes nuts everytime he sees this at Target

Playskool Sesame Street Count 'n Crunch Cookie Monster

His favorite character on sesame street is the Cookie Monster

Assorted wooden toys from Fine Wooden toys

Disney cars lazer light chaser
My husband and I saw this at the disney store on black friday for $20.00 (orginal price $39.99)
BUT they didn't have lighting McQueen.  They only had Doc and Mater left.  We are going to order this online.

Toms
Grey Wool Tiny TOMS Botas
He can never have too many shoes

Burberry
Diamond quilted Jacket

Skip Hop
Zoo pack
I love seeing backpacks on him! and this Bee is so darn cute! My mom used to make me wear backpack as a toddler, I was known as the little girl with the cute backpack.
I love skip Hop products, they are so well made.

Wow, that is a lot of stuff....... didn't seem like it in my head.... maybe I need to skim the list a little.
