Before the year ends (!!!), I have some catching up to do. Today is the first day for me with nothing on the agenda (aaahhhh), so I hope to stay busy with the blog for a little while.
Since we missed Miss Mei Mei's first two birthdays, we decided to celebrate her half birthday in early December. We've never done that with any of our kids, and kept it very simple. One (big) present, and a piece of cake with candles and singing. She loved it, and has been talking about birthdays since:)
Mei Mei is very outgoing and loves to spend time with her friends, and of course with Little Miss, and all her siblings.
We have enjoyed the Florida December weather so much. A bit cooler than in the fall, but still warm enough to go to the parks.
Our church had a Star Wars costume party for the youth group before the movie came out, and Mr A and Missy both won best costume awards! Their friends' costumes were awesome, too!
We had a very quiet Thanksgiving in Florida (Mei Mei was still recovering), and then it was Christmas everywhere! It took us a little while to get in the Christmas spirit with the warm weather and palm trees everywhere, but bringing out the candles helped.
And watching Mei Mei's joy and wonder about Christmas! More on Christmas in another blog post. But first - a traveling post.

Ennen kuin vuosi loppuu, yritän saada näitä joulukuun postauksia tehtyä. Kiitospäivä oli hiljainen, Mei Mei toipui vielä leikkauksesta. Sitten tulikin joulukuu ja joulua kaikkialla. Pikkasen toimme joulukoristeita esiin, ja Mei Mei ihastui kynttilöihin. Ja niin nautti kun päätimme viettää puolikasta syntymäpäivää! Olimme missanneet Mei Mein kaksi ensimmäistä synttäriä, ja kun 2.5 saapui, päätimme antaa lahjan ja juhlia kakunpalalla, kynttilöillä ja laulamalla. Voi sitä iloa ja ihanuutta!
Ja lisäksi ulkokuvia Floridan lämmöstä joulukuussa:) Seuraavaksi matkapostaus.
Kiva kun ehdit postaamaan, olen jo malttamattomana (onks tollainen sana olemassa?) odotellut. :-)
ReplyDeleteUpeat Starwars puvut nuorilla! Ja tuo enkelikynttila. Mun taytyy pyytaa aitia ostamaan uusi.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great idea to celebrate her half birthday. I am so glad that she loved the birthday bash and enjoyed it a lot. My daughter’s birthday was in November but I had to attend some important corporate events Chicago so we also hosted a post birthday bash for her (when I was finally free).
