Holiday Season

So, we are coming up on the Holiday Season. I simply LOVE the Holidays.

First there is Wayne's Birthday...he turns 30.
Then we have Thanks Giving.
After that is Christmas.
And to top it all off is New Years; 2009 already. Yikes.

Oh, and we can't forget Mackenzie's 1st birthday in early March. Wow, I feel busy already!

I am especially excited about this year because it is Mackenzie's first everything. Sure, she was growing inside me last year and could 'hear' everything, but this year we get to see her reaction to all the family, friends, lights and colors. Decorating for Christmas should be fun with an 8-month old (she will be almost 9-monhts when we decorate). I have really enjoyed reliving my childhood through her, and I know this will be really special. Wayne and I are trying to think of a new tradition to start for Christmas now that we have our little girl. We already read the Christmas Story from the Bible and Pray first thing in the morning on Christmas Day, but we want to do more, so if you have any ideas feel free to leave a comment. We want Mackenzie to KNOW the ture meaning of Christmas in action (as I am sure she will).

Not only that, but Mackenzie went to a wedding this past weekend. She did really well, and even got to dance with Mommy & Daddy on the dance floor. How sweet! I think she had fun. Especially with Auntie Laura :) (pictures to follow shortly)

Another big thing --- Mackenzie has been working really hard on cutting her top two teeth. I think she may have them by Thanks Giving, but if not I am SURE she will have them for Christmas. I suppose we should be singng that song, "All I Want For Christmas Are My Two Front Teeth." When they come in that will increase her tooth count to 4 with #5 and #6 close to follow.

Keep in tune for the follow up post to each of the above mentioned events with pictures!
