I can't believe Christmas Eve is tomorrow!!!!!!!! Where has the time gone!!!! I am so excited for Christmas!!!!

Getting ready for our 1st christmas together married!

Well Both Michael and I over slept this morning!!! Not sure what happen but I guess I was tired!! We got up at 6:45am Michael I guess looked at his phone and said Amy it's 6:45am I was like CRAP!!!! and we usually get up at 5am! oops! I am to be at work at 6:30am! oops! My phone shut off I guess and my alarm didn't go off! and I think Michael blew a fuse and our clock wasn't right! Just not good! I called my boss and told her and she started laughing and said don't worry about it just get there when you can! I rushed and got ready Michael did too! I left at 7am and dropped Zoey off at my parents at 7:30am and got to work at 7:45am I felt bad but I know it's not that big of a deal! Just gotta get threw this day and I can sleep in for 2 weeks! That's how I started out my day!!!! Lovely!!!

After work I went to Target never shopped there so fast in my life it was like 20 minutes in and out! Only because my mom called me and to see if I wanted to run some errands with her so we can talk and see each other since she's been crazy busy with her mom at the nursing home and what not and barely home much! So I quickly got all my baking stuff for the cup cakes and cookies for tomorrow we are baking :-) came to my parents My mom and I went to Costco man it was a zoo got some stuff for Michael and I :-) and now I am at my parents house and going to work at 2:30pm :-) I'm excited to be done working for a 2 weeks after tonight!! It will be sooooooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All our Christmas cards we have gotten! I hung them up on the door so I can look at them I love looking at them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow I am pretty much baking all day! Nothing like waiting till the last minute to bake! This isn't me! I usually have stuff done ahead of time!!! Michael has the day off too! So we are going to bake together I found these cute little Santa cupcakes

so I am going to make them along with the reindeer cupcakes too! And make some Christmas cookies from the Pillsbury box with the Christmas mix! It will be easy! then make some peanut butter blossoms too my favorite!!!!

Hope you all have a great Christmas :-D

6 days till Christmas!!!!

6 days till CHRISTMAS! Where has the time gone?? seems like it was last year we were already celebrating Christmas!!! I can't wait to celebrate our first Christmas as husband and wife :-) and with Zoey it will be our first Christmas all together and in our own house! Sad to think we'll have to put our Christmas tree away after I don't think I will put it away till after the new year :-) I love it!!!

Zoey is wearing her Christmas sweaters all week :-) Last week to wear them till next year!!!

Oh zoey your just so cute!!!! Everyone who has seen her lately has said she is getting bigger! I think she is too!!!
Last night before we went to watch the movie we rented The last song, we built our Ginger bread house! Last year was a mess we had to really built it it was so frustrating, this year they had a kit that was already built so I was for sure going to buy that one :-) It was nice but it's always hard to put the frosting on it it's so sticky and googie, they make it look so easy on the box! We had fun or should I did! Michaael pretty much watched me lol

Our ginger bread house! I thought it turned out cute! The best I could do :-)
We'll see how long this last! Last year I think it lasted for 2 months! They sure hold up for a long time hehe.

We went to church by our house this morning at 9am so Michael could work on the garage heater! Which he is doing still :-) We are heading over to our friends house at 4:30 this evening for dinner :-)

Emily is suppose to be coming home tomorrow night from Ireland, but Ireland is getting snow and it's foggy and she isn't sure if she'll be coming home tomorrow or not! I sure do miss her!!!!
I skyped her and Declan this afternoon :-)

I have been watching the Hallmark channel all afternoon, and I love watching their Christmas movies, but why do they have to be so sad!!!!

I am so happy it's a 3 day week for me for work!!!!!

I think I am going to make these cute little cupcakes on Thursday for Christmas Eve at Michael's side of the family :-) Michael said he'd help me since we both have Thursday off yahoo!! They loved my turkey oreo's I made for Thanksgiving :-)

Fun Filled Saturday!

We are having a fun Saturday! We finally got to get out after being cooped in the house for 3 weekends in a row from the snowed got the last 3 weekends! I got this site for a letter fro Santa to a your kid! which I posted earlier this morning, it was so funny I did one for Zoey! My mom called me laughing and I showed Michael and he started laughing too!

Showing Zoey Santa her letter! It was so funny!!!!

Well I went out to River Dale this morning with my husband and he dropped me off at Kohl's and he went to Menard's his guy store! The lines were so long!! I had to return something and even that line was long! Michael beat me and he sat in his car for a few minutes waiting for me to get out! I had to get some presents for my family! I had fun! I hope they love what I got them all :-) Then we went to Joann Fabric to get some fleece blanket so I can make Zoey a tie blanket! I have been meaning to since we got her but just have been busy. It was so busy everywhere we were happy to be done and on our way home after the craziness with long long lines!

Zoey checking out her new blanket I made her :-)

zoey in her kennel with her blanket!

her bed looks so comfy!!!

All our presents are wrapped up and under our tree! Half of them are for Michael and the other are for our famlies!!!!!!! On Michael's side of the family we do 2 $20 guy and girl gifts and do like a dice game and we end up with 2 gifts it works out just fine :-) then my side I just got my mom, dad , Emily and Molly just something from Michael and I :-)

all the presents for our nieces and nephews :-)

Michael sent me this to my phone, his present to me! I only get one I got my neckless and Zoey for an early Christmas present :-) I can't wait to see what he got me!!!

Michael putting in the garage heater :-) he doesn't stop working :-)

While at Kohl's I got us a table cloth for winter now that Thanksgiving is over :-) time to get a winter one :-) that we can keep it on for a few months!

We are going to watch the movie Last song tonight I can't wait to cuddle up with my loves!

yay! It's Friday! 5 months ago today we got married where has the time gone??

Happy FRIDAY!! So happy it's almost the weekend for me :-) oh my gosh 5 months ago today we got married time has sure flown by!!!!!!!! I am loving married life it's the best :-) we are half way to a year! Wowers!

I went over to the little girl I am going to start watching in January maybe 3x a week Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for like 4 hours! She came to me with a big smile on her face!!!!!! Oh my gosh she is so cute her name is Elli! We are going to have fun playing together! :-)

Elli and I! Molly my sister watches her now twice a week but she when she starts school again in January, her classes aren't the same time so it won't work for her, she'll watch her on Fridays though. I'm excited Molly showed me how things work with Elli and what to do I am excited!

I am ready for Christmas! Just need to wait for it to be here now :-) I brought over all Michael presents from my parents I felt bad I was taking up the room with all the presents! So I decided I better just bring them over! Michael got all excited just like a little kid! but now he can't open them up till CHRISTMAS morning! I know I'm such a tease putting the presents under the tree.

Crazy she knew exactly what ones were hers and she managed to open one of them she was too fast to catch she got one though that I couldn't get to her fast enough that little stinker so she had a little early Christmas lol

she got a little red ball she can run around with!

I took the wrapping paper away and she started looking for it like a mad women it was funny! I think she liked the paper more then the toy for the first few minutes! she'll get more presents on Christmas day :-)

I think she thinks she owns the living room with all her toys lol she has toys every where :-)
When I was at target yesterday they had a bunch of cute t-shirts for dogs for $2.50 of course I got some for her and Maddie, and they had this ornament for a $1.00 and I was like oh cute I could put Zoey's picture in it! :-) So I did! Michael loved it!

This morning Michael went back to work for the first time this week they called him back and said could you come in on Friday we need you, and he said sure, which was good for him because he really only had to take 2 vacation days which works out good :-) After Zoey and Michael being together for 4 days straight Zoey didn't want Michael to go to work :-( He left this morning and I was getting ready and she was at the step looking for her daddy and kinda whimpering for a second. I was like aww!!! I took her to my parents this morning, and now we are back on our schedule with her! She was so hyper when Michael was home I am sure he let her do whatever she wanted lol. She's sleeping on my lap right now I just pulled out 2 of her top molars, they were so wiggly and one on her bottom! She woke up last night in the middle of the sounded like she was eating or grinding on her teeth and now that I saw her 3 molars were so wiggly she was moving them I'm sure well they are out and won't have to worry about it, it scared me the first night I heard it I took her in the kitchen and looked in her mouth and didn't see anything! Now I know what was the matter her teeth were lose and bugging her poor baby! I did go to school for Dental Assistant but went for a semester and had to go on medical leave due to a car accident I was in almost 5 years ago that's another story I had to go to P.T. and lots of doctor appoints! I yet haven't gone back to school. So I love teeth! as you can see with Zoey and her teeth LOL

My poor mom is stressed out of her mind! With her mom in the assistant living, I can tell! I feel so bad for my mom and wish she wasn't so stressed out! I hope I don't have to put my parents in one. The one my Grandma's at is so nice though! I just hope she gets back to herself after the holidays and I will get to see her more! I don't see her much since she is going to see her mom now and making sure she's okay and what not! I totally understand that! I would do that same if that was her :-) I am praying for my mom so i hope that works and she won't be stressed out!
