Hello hell week

The Holiday season is coming to our house and this week officially kicked off the beginning of Christmas craziness! On Saturday we went to get our Christmas tree. We ended up at Home depot for the tree, a wreath and some fresh garland for the mantle. Chloe was so excited when we put up the tree, but didn't get truly fascinated until she saw it fully decorated and lit up. We have an Elmo ornament that I hung down low and she is obsessed with pointing it out and tell me about it! She can't be left alone with the tree because she likes to grab off the ornaments, but for the most part, she is very good with it. The house just smells so wonderful and pine-y, I just love it!

Yesterday, we awoke to our first snowfall of the season. We went outside to play for a bit and at first Chloe was not so sure. But eventually she realized that it was kind of cool and started running around in the 1 inch of snow we had. Later that day, we had some good friends over with their kids to watch the football game (NY Giants) and have some food. It was great to see our friends and we all agreed that we had to do the get togethers more frequently. We all used to live in Denver together and now that we are all back on the east coast again, we should definitely keep in touch.

This week continues the hectic pace. Tomorrow Craig is off from work to take Chloe for her Flu shot booster. Wednesday, I am off to go shopping with a girlfriend for Xmas presents and then spaghetti dinner that night at my parents. Then Friday, I am going to the Duran Duran concert at the casino (woo hoo!). Saturday I an hoping to get my mom to babysit, so Craig and I can go meet some of his friends for dinner out. And in the middle of all of this I have my school work (only 2 weeks left of this class) and three chiropractor appointments.

Oh, did I mentioned I started to see a chiro? I have had a terrible sore neck with shooting pains since Thanksgiving and finally I gave in. We have a dr. right in my office complex and several of my coworkers highly recommended him. Well, he is a really good dr. You know, the kind that sit and talk with you and don't make you feel like you are stupid. He has a very holistic approach to medicine and I really like him. Added perk-my insurance pays for it! I might talk Craig into going too because sometimes he has lower back pain too.

Dang, just putting that all down makes me tired just looking at it!

Well, to share a pic, here is Chloe meeting Santa. She didn't cry, but as you can tell, she wasn't so sure she liked him...
