We Missed Our Baby

After enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving meal in Vacherie we left without our precious B. She spent 2 days in Vacherie and had an absolute ball. I thought I would be super tough, but when Peter's parents offered to keep B till Sunday instead of Saturday I realized that I already missed her--and it was only Friday morning. I definitely couldn't wait until Sunday. When she came back she was happy as can be and seemed taller, her hair seemed longer, and her two teeth looked bigger. Peter and I got a lot of things done around the house and bought a tree and rented movies and had a great time, but I surely did miss my girl.

Betsy is walking and talking a bunch. She has a few new words: hat, eye, 'brella, Bet--ee (Betsy). She is also saying "ho ho ho" whenever she sees a picture of Santa. We're going to take her to see Santa on Sunday morning; I hope she enjoys it.

Peter's parents have been such a huge help getting our downstairs ready. Peter and his parents painted all day yesterday and today---today it was a genuine paint-a-thon with Papa Vic, Bee, and Beau added to the crew. Thanks so much to everyone for their help!!! They were able to get the downstairs completely painted and lots of other projects done.

Last night we put up our tree and decorated it. B pointed at it for a while and tried to reach the ornaments. I'm so excited about Christmas this year with our baby girl and next year we'll have B's baby brother or sister and B's cousin to share it with!

Here are some pics from our marathon photo session in Vacherie--we were trying to get the perfect Christmas pic!
