Where did this year go? I feel like I was just pregnant, and now Alexa is ten months old and taking steps. I feel like I have been so busy up to Christmas, and now it is over and I am busy getting ready to go on vacation. I have been without a fully working keyboard for almost two weeks. One morning Alexa grabbed my mug and I spilt coffee on our old one. Jon went and got me one after work today, so finally I can type.
Jon's grandparents came up for Christmas. It was really nice getting to spend the holiday with them. Talia gets really excited about seeing great grandparents, but when she actually sees them she gets very shy.
My favorite part about Christmas was that after the presents were all unwrapped Natalia spent most of the time playing with Alexa's toys, and Alexa was most interested in the clothes and packaging.
Natalia likes to be a part of what goes on in the kitchen. When she saw Great Grandma and Grandma in the kitchen she ran and got the stool so that she could see what was going on. When I cook at home she always stands on a chair at the end of the counter.
Even though this winter has been pretty nice, I'm excited for our trip. My parents are coming down this weekend to celebrate Christmas with us, and then the following weekend we are flying to Key West. Every day for the past month Talia has been asking about the beach and the pool.
