Enjoying: The One with Christmas Cheer.

December 5, 2012 By Kelle

December makes me feel like Christmas record people.  Oh, you don’t know them? 

You know…these people:

Photobucket

The smiley ones with big teeth and shiny lipstick and perfectly tilted heads. That girl up there? She’s saying, “I’m so full of Christmas cheer, I can’t feel my legs!”  There’s a snowy pine behind her, she’s singin’ carols, and sister is happy.  December, of course, has its regular dose of daily frustration and stress and exhaustion. It’s just that there’re so many twinkly lights to sort of daze and distract me, so I smile.  Because smiling’s my favorite.

Speaking of records, my first order of random enjoying business…

An early Christmas present–early because I had 99 cent Goodwill Christmas records that couldn’t go to waste, so a new record player for the kids’ room it is.  It has since found a safer, higher place to spin.

Photobucket

And Hark! (hell yeah, I just said Hark) I found Christmas prenatal vitamins:

Photobucket

It also should be noted that if Honey, I Shrunk the Kids could really happen, I’d be first in line to be shrunk, and I’d spend December in this Village Inn.  Dude, there are fifty shades of good stuff happening up in that Inn, and I only wish I was small enough to fit in the door and see what’s going on.

Photobucket

So, where were we? 

I pushed my cart past a giant crate of real fir wreaths today at Costco.  Not to over-persononify, but I kid you not, the fir scent climbed out of the crate, chased me and my cart and tackled me for a hug–so hard that I had to spin my cart around, return to the crate and bury my head in it.  People stared, but I am not ashamed.  That stuff is to be enjoyed. 

So we do.  Enjoying…

New Goodwill Treasures

Little Shoppers

Growin’ Kid
I saw him yesterday, in 4D, and I love him all the more.  He has chubby cheeks and a Lainey-like forehead.  And he flips so much, it takes my breath away.  My explanation on in-utero baby movement to Brett the other day: “Picture a raccoon.  Inside your body.  And he’s goin’ all crazy.  That is happening right now.  Inside me.”

My Kid Standing out in Ballet
…the undies give her away

The Beginning of Impromptu Holiday Adventures
Like night trips to IHOP for hot cocoa and pancakes.

The come-to-Jesus, slap-your-face-and-get-with-it phone call to Heidi yesterday:

Heidi: “Hello?”
Me:  “This is bullshit.  It’s December 4th, and we haven’t had one crazy holiday outing.  I expect you, in green tights and reindeer antlers, knocking on my door soon.”
Heidi:  “I know, I know.  We’re going to change that.  Promise.”

Needless to say, there are festivities to come.  They will involve a white van and possibly commence in heist fashion.  I may or may not be wearing this when we pull away. (Hey Heidi, can you rig your horn to beep Jingle Bells?)

Nella Begging for Walks
She brings us her boots. “Boots? Walk? Please?” And a flash of a smile that would warm the Grinch’s heart.  Saying no is very hard indeed.

Photobucket

North Pole Prep
…the making of which induces record lady smiles for me.  I can’t feel my legs.

Photobucket

Blurry Lights
…along with in-focus ones, colored ones, clear ones, flashing ones, red ones, green ones and all the in-between ones.

Photobucket

And I feel this should end with some deep-voice radio announcer rattling off disclaimers in super speedy auction manner. Because that’s a lot of cheer, a little bit of swearing and yes, a Hark! But it’s December.  So there you be.

Happy Camper Studio is back with a newly renovated storefront that offers clothing and homegoods, hand-dyed and designed by a Southern Arizona family living in the Sonoran Desert. As Happy Camper Studio puts it, “we are the “Official Outfitters of Daydreams and Adventures” for children of ALL ages and we don’t do fussy!” My girls’ mermaid dresses are the second round of Happy Camper Studio products we’ve owned, and one of Lainey’s favorite things to wear–super comfortable, authentic mermaid wear (the scales!), and the real selling factor…they twirl!

I love the simple, sweet Christmas dress Happy Camper Studio offers and the affordable price ($25, but use code 1STCAMPER for $5 off your Christmas or mermaid dress order).

    I have micro marshmallows in the cabnet and am downright obsessed with how they are the same size as my one year olds tiny little finger tips when she picks them up to eat them.

Let’s see, what else…Your tree is enchanting, the Goodwill treasures are adorable, and, well…I just want to enjoy the holidays with YOUR family because they’re nowhere near as enjoyable in my family. πŸ™‚

    those mini marshmallows are the BOMB! Yup, totally said it! We don’t have them in canada, so last time I was down I bought 3….they’re almost gone…and I should mention I went down 2 weeks ago! To be fair I use them in S’more cookies, and the recipe uses more than half the container! Love them on Ice Cream!

    seriously that bump is one of the cutest I’ve seen! Can’t wait to ‘meet’ Mr. Man

    I need some IHOP pancakes. Yum! I hope my preggo belly looks as adorable as yours does in a couple months (I’m only at 14 weeks right now, and look like I’ve swallowed a small cantaloupe). Lainey’s peekaboo undies are precious beyond words – the leg warmers make that picture. And I am SO looking forward to hearing all about the North Pole adventure and holiday heists you are planning. I don’t comment often, but I love your blog Kelle. All the time, but especially around the holidays. It gives me the warm and cozy Christmas feelings I crave this time of year – glitter included;)

    I love the Christmas season, too! We’ve tried to simplify a lot and it’s hard not to go crazy with decorations and all the cheerful trimmings.

    I’m seven months pregger with #3 and she’s been doing crazy flips, too! Since I’m high-risk I have weekly ultrasounds and, though I get a bit nervous each time, it’s so neat to “see” my baby each week.

    Another fun Grandma story – Ellie was playing with my angel ornaments from my grandma. Matt was concerned because she plays rough, but I told him that Grandma would have made us shut up and give the angel to Ellie. Of course, she threw the angel and knocked off her wings, but it was still good for a smile.

Thanks! You’re house is adorable and I love seeing new photos of it! I can’t wait to have children of my own and have them old enough to do a reindeer bar of our own!

    AND If you ever decided to get rid of your fabulous new butter dish from goodwill I’d be more than happy to take it off of your hands! I love finding old pieces that match my dish set that I would actually use! GREAT score in my book! Thanks again for the dose of cheer when you post!

    You really do make it the most wonderful time of the year for your loved ones!

    I’d love to know what all you throw onto your reindeer food bar…

    I don’t know you but your blog always draws me back. The wonderful way you capture your kids and family life really makes me smile. Thank you.

    I swear, I could sit and read your blog all night long. Do I sound creepy? Probably. But its true and its your fault. I feel like you’re my best friend, calling for a chat. I love how randomly you flow (In an organized fashion) and chat on about the things you love. And I can’t wait until your little man joins your family and we get to see his sisters going nuts over him.
