also i cut my hair - 13 inches for locks of love)
I've been really behind on the blog. I've been using my night spare time to do my Duke's Beach House marketing stuff. I haven't been able to sew either and so today I made it so kalia didn't have a nap and both girls are down early, so we can have some down time. Kalia still needs her nap, but then she goes to bed late and then we have to go to bed almost right after.
Anyway, just a quick note on thanksgiving. We had a great thanksgiving, thanks to mom and dad who once again cooked an amazing meal. Erik & got to surf together in the morning and we had erik's mom's albondigas for brunch. Mom & Dad slaved in the kitchen, while we were playing outside with our neighbor's kids, their cousins, cousin sophie and friend adrienne's boys zach & joel. I felt a little like a referee at times, but everyone had a great time.
We had such a great visit with mom and dad. They watched the girls and/or just maya a bunch of times and I think they got a lot of one on one time. I had fun doing a little sewing with mom, she helped me figure out these wristlets i want to make for some christmas presents and some other little projects for gifts.
Kalia likes this song from one of our Elizabeth Mitchell CD, it's "Peace like a river" and she sings, "I have peas (peace) like a river". She really does think it's peas and will correct you if you accidentally sing "peace".
So we went to the Ritz Tree Lighting on friday night and we had a great time. Kalia saw a lot of kids from school and she actually for the first time in her life...sat on Santa's lap!!!!! I might still not believe it if I didn't have the photo to prove it. We were so proud and she can't stop talking about him. I asked her if she wanted to write a letter to Santa and she said that she wanted to tell him that she loves him and then later said that she wants nail polish - rainbow colors, but only because we told her that usually you could tell him what you want if you've been a good girl.
So we are a little concerned with maya and our tree and are not entirely sure if we shouldn't put it up on a table. As soon as the lights and ornaments go up we might be in big trouble. I can't wait to decorate and neither can kalia she's been asking about it all day!
One of us has been taking kalia on a nightly walk to see people's christmas lights, there is a house up the street that has santa's sled and 9 reindeer, a star and tree with lights. Christmas is definitely going to fun this year, maya's first year and kalia really knows what's going on. She already asked several times today if tomorrow is christmas.
OK, some chill time...
