This past saturday we attended the annual Ting Christmas party. I think the non-kid couples were a little surprised because there were kids everywhere! It was really fun seeing everyone and the food was awesome. I went for three helpings of the mac n cheese. Not too good for my thighs but it’s the holidays right??

Here’s some pics of the kids. It was so cute because all the little girls were in dresses. Katie wore a cute dress that my mom gave her but it was a bit long. I thought she looked like a polygamist wife (I recently watched a polygamy documentary) and Regina said Rachel looked like a puritan. haha…whatever they were wearing, they were adorable.

At work, I’ve seen many people use the bathroom and head right out the door. No hand washing?!?! It really grosses me out. Don’t they know they should always wash their hands after using the bathroom? Luckily we have a trash can right by the door so I can use a paper towel to open the door before exiting.

My boss has seen the same in the men’s bathroom. We now have a list of non-hand washer people that we share with each other. That way we know not to shake hands with these specific people.

Maybe I need to share Katie’s potty videos with them. They teach, pee pee/poo poo and then wash your hands. I didn’t think this was something that needed to be taught to adults!

Pish and I went on a date this past weekend! Golf at 5am. We played the back 9 at Strawberry Farms and then had breakfast. It was really fun and I even beat pish. hehe. Thanks to Pish’s mom who watched Katie for us that morning. She’s in town to see her favorite dentist (she had a broken tooth).

I always love christmas time. Jolly music, beautiful decorations, and presents! Well, this year we decided not to get a tree since we won’t be here on Christmas day. I’m a little sad about that but I put up our other decorations today. The mantle is all decorated and stockings are up. That makes me smile.

Here’s my virtual tree this year…

I had a very productive weekend. On top of having a great Thanksgiving and spending time with family, I was able to post all my new Cupcake Cuddles products, I got the 2nd edition of my newsletter sent out and we have fully launched weefinds.com. It’s all so much fun! It’s keeping me busy and I’m sleeping WAY later than usual but I’m loving it. Thanks to Pish for being so supportive with all my “projects”.

I haven’t had a Katie update in a little while so here you go…
- She counts 1-10 now but she says “What” for one
- She know her colors and shapes
- We are working on the alphabet
- She is slowly transitioning herself to one nap a day. We had some issues with putting her down for her naps this past weekend.
- Saturday was her brattiest day ever. I think it was the first time Pish and I were really pushed to our limits. She cried, stomped her feed, swung her arms and just didn’t listen to us. I think I was partly due to her having less naps though. Luckily it only lasted one day.
- She LOVES mickey mouse lately
- We talk about using the potty every day but she still hasn’t done it successfully yet.
- She used to make a loud “Muh!” sound when giving you a kiss but now it’s just a polite little peck. I guess she’s growing up…

Here’s a pic from our portrait sitting that didn’t make the cut for our christmas card. Thanks to Sing for taking all the pics for us!

I’m behind on blogging and plan on catching up this week but I just wanted to say happy monday to everyone!! Today has been a great day so far. www.weefinds.com has successfully launched and I started listening to xmas music at work. So I’ve been smiling all morning.

We had a jam-packed weekend. First, Uncle Jorell came for a visit on friday night. Katie had so much fun with him. Then on Saturday we headed down to Carlsbad to celebrate Ryan’s 8th birthday. Of course we had to stop at the outlets on the way down for a little shopping. Katie loved playing with her cousins and with all of Kennan’s toys.

On Sunday we had a playdate with four other little girls at our house. It was so fun to see everyone! At first the girls kind of played on their own but eventually started to play with each other. It was really cute. Surprisingly we were able to keep them still for a group photo too!
