On another, less whiny more Christmas cheer note...We are really excited for Christmas. Silvia has already been so excited these last few weeks. She knows who Santa is and that he likes hot cocoa, she can sing "Jingle Bells" and keeps asking for presents. I have had a hard time keeping myself grounded and have tried to restrain from buying everything that I think Silvia needs/wants. The last few months I haven't been purchasing any toys thinking that I'd wait for Christmas. Luckily I have a limited budget and a hubby who tells me when I've over done it. So, in the true spirit of Christmas and the american consumer, I am taking a bunch of stuff back tomorrow. I promise!
Enough revelations from my overly active concious. Here a few shots from the last few weeks. 
Silvia's puppy that she asked me to take a picture of. How could I resist. I ran as fast as I could to find the camera!
The picture I probably should have used for Christmas cards but I editted it and couldn't figure out how to get the color picture back. Argh! I need to take a class.
Signing off with a performance of Jingle Bells. Get aload of the socks and shoes. Dress up gone nerdy!
