On the Sixth Day till Christmas...

I was actually gonna post this before I found out about my car, but now I need to post this to keep from crying my eyes out lol. I cannot believe we are six days away from Christmas. My mom was able to pick Maddy up for me today from daycare and when Maddy got home she came running to me saying, "MAMA!!!" and it just made my day. I could so use that right about now lol. We got some mommy/Maddy time tonight, which consisted of eating bite bites and playing. My grandmother came over to deliver presents, which created even more excitement for me for Christmas to get here. Christmas is actually bittersweet because I'm so anxious to see Maddy have a good time but at the same time I am so sad to see the season leave. I truly enjoy everything that Christmas brings and really hate to see it leave. Maddy is at the stage that she can fill in words to songs and it makes my heart happy. Her favorite to sing right now is "Rock-a-bye baby" I let her say the last word to each sentence and she does such a good job. She has also really seemed to pick up on Santa, which surprises me in a way. She knows he says, "ho ho ho" and "merry christmas" and I think she is semi associating him with presents. I really don't know what she associates him to because when I gave her a kiss tonight she looked at me and very excitedly said, "Santa!" She has really enjoyed seeing the lights and decorations on the way home this year. She also was able to decorate the tree more this year than she did last year. She's done a very good job of leaving the tree alone...last year she pulled the ornaments off and would try to eat the tree and all that good stuff lol. It's just another reminder of how fast and how much she is growing. I'd like to edit some of the Christmas video from last year to reminisce and then compare to this year's...when that happens of coarse. I know this post is nothing real real exciting and probably is not worth reading, but it will be to me lol. I hope to be able to post something every night this week to lead up to Christmas.
