Christmas has come and gone :(

After a week of rain, I am happy to say I see clear skies. Normally I love cold rainy weather, but there is a limit. A week straight of rain is just too much for me...around Christmas time anyway.

My mom went to the Dr's on the 17th to get her cast off and they surprised her with another 4 weeks of a cast. The bone is still fractured and they said if she puts any weight on it at all she will break it and have to go back in for more surgery. So I'm praying that January 12th will be her day. My mom waited until the 17th to start her Christmas shopping because she thought she could walk by then and when that changed my dad and I had an adventure of taking her out. It was actually fun pushing my mom and Chloe around in the wheelchair. Chloe loves the ride and it gives my mom a chance to get out of the house. We went everywhere in the pouring rain and got all the stuff we needed.

I got a Christmas present in the mail: JURY DUTY ...freaking awesome.... It's not the time to have that right now, but then again it never is. I was thinking of excuses to get out of it and just praying that I will be lucky enough to not have to go. I never get that. I call the night before and they say appear at 12pm (not 8am). JOY. Merry Christmas Kimmy lol.

Christmas eve was enjoyable as alway. We had a fire and bbq beef sandwiches with my aunt and uncle. My ant made some yummy brownies and I made a banana cream pie. Chloe opened her Christmas eve gift (Teddy Bear Jammies):

Then Daniel came over and played Playstation while my little one, like a crazy monkey, crawled all over him and then fell asleep on the couch. It was a late night, but it was fun. I enjoyed being the mommy and (Santa) putting out all presents and candies in the stockings. It was a different experience then what I was used to.

Christmas day was sooo busy.

We went to a few different houses before being able to come home and enjoy our new toys...well Chloe and Ben's new toys lol. Chloe had a blast playing with all her new toys... could really careless about the unwrapping part (which is surprising because she is obsessed with paper). Overall it as a fun, new experience. I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas too!

Christmas Time!

It's December!! I will probably have a few December blogs because...It's Christmas time!!

A little celebration:

Start with a few things to catch up. My mom's birthday was on Dec. 1st and so was Chloe's 8 month birthday. To celebrate my dad and I went to Vinces and brought it back to her since she couldn't go out. We bought her a Disney Pass for Her birthday and Christmas so I can't wait to take her when her cast comes off on the 17th. Every one is anxious and excited about her getting her cast off just in time for Christmas!

A little drama:

What's the holiday season without some drama?! I'm going to spare most of the details, but it's been a rough few months and being Christmas time it makes it even more frustrating because all we want to do is enjoy the season. My precious jewelry got stolen. I don't know how and certainly don't understand why. I'm still praying that my jewelry will magically appear where I left it...or even on my door step. I'm just broken up about it because It had to be someone that I allowed in my home, someone I trusted to be there... Beside that, our blow up penguin got stolen as well. Last year it got slashed and Ben found a way to patch it up so we could use it this year too. Apparently people don't want us to have that penguin! I'm praying it's not someone we know. It makes me think that I am a horrible person. All these things continue to happen to us and don't know why. It's not like we have a lot of friends that we hang out with. I just don't get it. So i'm going to say this...If you are the person who is doing all of this to us, please stop. You've made your point and I would appreciate it if you would just stop.

A little rant:

I honestly feel like a horrible person. Things have been said to me and my family that really hurt my feelings and sometimes it makes me wonder if I REALLY am a bad person. I try my best to be polite, welcoming and friendly, but all I get in return are devastating results.What have I done to make people WANT to steal my things or talk badly about me? I really want to know. I never thought that the people I would associate myself with were capable of such sad and hurtful things.

A little Chloe:

On to better things. Chloe pea is growing so quickly. She took her first steps tonight. If she had more confidence i'd almost bet she'd be walking by now. It's her favorite thing to do. She refuses to play with her toys or do anything that doesn't require crawling or walking. If I don't loose weight chasing her around I swear there is something wrong with me. She still doesn't have any teeth, no sign of any teeth either...I guess the song "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH" actually apply to her haha!! She's been eating solid foods on a regular basis now. She is feeding herself snack and bottles, which is really nice. I wish more people got to know her. She really is a comical, loving, little girl. It's a shame no one knows her as well as we do. Regardless, she is so full of life and I enjoy every minute I spend with her.

We took her to look at Christmas lights at the Alta Loma District and she had such a blast. I could only imagine what she will be like this time next year.

A little work:

I'm working at Sylvan still and I love it. I'm getting about 15 hrs a week which is just enough for me. I couldn't handle being away from my little pea any longer then that right now! Hopefully I will be there for a long time and I can get a Sub job too. Ben is still at ITT, which is a blessing. It may not seem like it because of all the overtime and long hrs, but it really is worth it. It's allowed us to have a good Christmas this year!

Well I will end it here. Thanks for reading, comments are greatly appreciated (that way I actually know people are reading lol) Have a Blessed Christmas
