Baby's 1st Christmas

SANTA! I KNOW HIM!!!!

We finally met Santa! We went to Breakfast with Santa at Killian Hall put on by the Knights of Columbus- breakfast and pictures with Santa were free (donations welcome, and yes we donated!)- afterward they uploaded all the pictures on their website by last name so we just jumped on and downloaded! We waited about an hour and it was right in the middle of what should of been her nap time, so I was SO nervous we'd have a fussy crying baby. Once again she proved my worries wrong, and was our usual happy girl!

I also got some Christmas Shopping done today :) It was so hard not to go NUTS for Adelynn! There was SO MUCH to choose from. But I'm really happy with what I got:

I knew I wanted to get a book or two- and Walmart actually had a decent selection! I've heard great things about the llama llama books so picked this one up! I also got the book below, its a finger puppet book! She got one from Brittany (three little pigs) and loves it, thats truly what sparked her interest in books FINALLY! So I saw this one and knew it was perfect.

This cube is NOT what I got her-- this one is ginormous and about $80! But I got one very similar for WAY cheaper. I actually found it at Ross, surprising!

 Her own little smart phone! I went back and forth on this one. On one hand she is ALWAYS after our cell phones, so this could be hers. But on the other hand I don't want to create a habit of letting her use our phones, iPad, Kindle, etc. NOT JUDGING anyone who does! Its just something I want to avoid as long as possible. But I broke down and got it cause it teaches letters, numbers, colors, etc. Lights up makes noises- all that good stuff. And shes pretty young, so I'm gonna refrain from being 'that mom' for now ha ;)

And my favorite! Violet! I'd seen it before (boy version is Scout) but never really looked at it. I stood there looking at it for 20 minutes and quickly knew it was coming home with me. There are so many cool features about this little pup! I hooked it up and downloaded the software as soon as I got home. Personalized it for Adelynn (songs, fav food, colors, etc.) and even set it up to say her name! I was worried with a name like Adelynn it wouldnt recognize it, but it totally did. I've been playing with it the last 30 minutes and LOVE IT!

I am so dang excited for Christmas! and proud of my shopping, I didn't go overboard and spent probably...$50 total? not too shabby! I really dig everything I got her too!

Christmas is always my favorite, but especially this year cause of my booger bear. and I mean, WHO DOESN'T love cute Christmas outfits and headbands!? ;)
