Christmas is in the air

Last night we put up our outside christmas lights. We bought the new LED icicle lights this year. Recently Tyler had bought a house of lights box to use with our lights this year. We plugged it in last night to all the stuff in the yard and the house lights and it looks so cool. With the music playing and all the lights flashing it looks really neat. We let Peyton stay up last night because we started putting the lights up around 8pm so she was up until around 10:30. When Daddy turned on all the lights she was jumping up and down. That is why we have children, to see the excitement and smiles on their face bring alot of joy to my life. Skyler is starting to smile alot and talk. She is waking up in the morning and just laying there talking until I go and get her. That is a major step in our household right now. We have finally gone from screaming to happy. She slept 8 1/2 hours last night. When she woke up this morning she was ready for the day, even though it was 5:30 am, I just got up and had some quiet time with Skyler and my coffee. That makes a mommy very happy and alot less stressed.
